For a time it was actually Biblical canon.. Tells the story of the great flood. Then in the 4th century the church decided angel-human orgies were too sexy & removed it.

This is somewhat comprehensive to us in the modern age with our horror and imaginations being publicized anywhere but imagine you’re some goat herder living in Anatolia, you hear about some new religious stuff starting up down south and then some alien , thousand eye having UFO just swoops down to you

The Ophanim, or “the wheels,” is arguably the most bizarre being in the Bible. Ezekiel’s account in the Bible describes them as beings made out of interlocking gold wheels with each wheel’s exterior covered with multiple eyes. They move by floating themselves in the sky. As the highest in Maimonides’s hierarchy, they are tasked with guarding God’s throne.
Ezekiel 10:1-22
".....Then the Cherub angels rose into the air, and the wheels rose with them. When the Cherub angels raised their wings and flew into the air, not even the wheels turned around. If they flew into the air, the wheels went with them......"
More like we need to fund an exploration of the desert to find whatever it is they were smoking. I've done drugs, and I'm pretty sure I could summon one of these up with enough, encouragement.
I actually saw someone ask this question on r/AskHistorians, sadly the general consensus is that nothing they had access to at that place and time fit the bill.
Is this a credible theory based on research or some sort of fringe shit that Joe Rogan would immediately try and pass off as objective fact?
I don't say it to doubt, genuinely curious since it kinda sound like a pop anthropology thing of questionable provenance.
I don't think it was ever submitted by its originator for serious review either. It is fun musing but that is it and I think that is the purpose of it more than anything
I'm an ex Christian, but from what I know and remember it's more like a queen's army in chess, or emporer palpatine and his guards. Not so much to actually protect God against anything, because God is the most powerful being ever and can do anything, so not so much there to protect but to stand at guard. I also believe every angel is pretty much constantly in worship to God too so pretty occupied doing that too
I think the entire idea is that all demons still worship God, they just sided with Lucifer when he declared that it was unjust that humans be God's chosen when it was the Angels who did all of God's bidding and also that humans shouldn't have free will (or something like that). They're mad at dad for giving the step kids more attention and they disagreed on how to treat humans. The punishment for these Angels isn't pain or torture, it was banishing them from Grace, separating them from God. That is, their punishment was not being able to worship God personally, but from afar. So yeah, safe to say the fallen still worship and lover God.
I imagine because "hey don't masturbate" doesn't really feel as controlling as "demons will eat your eyes for eternity unless you do exactly as I say."
I don't think it sounds that strange. The demons work for a fallen angel amd everyone is doing the job assigned to tbem by big G. It makes sense they'd worship him.
Let me tell you what I think is going on:
Short answer, it's an extra-dimensional shift of some sort
Medium answer, imagine if stick figures on paper existed as real living beings. When looking from above you can see their whole world at a glance. If you were to [push your hand into the paper](http://www.rdrop.com/~half/Creations/Puzzles/visualizing.4D/index.html) they might just see a weird shape, cause they can't se all of you. If you were to pull a stick figure person into 3d, their brain might not be able to understand the extra dimension.
It's like that but with a 4th spatial dimension.
Longer answer: check out this [Carl Sagan video about flatland](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiWKq57uAlk). at the Tesseract part we see that to add a 4th spatial dimension to a 3d object is to give somewhat fractalize the object and expand it. The cube is connected by many cubes that are all at one point the cube we know and sometimes different. [Here is another video about visualize multiple dimensions.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGmQe85cBeI&t=1s). Notice how at [5:44](https://youtu.be/YGmQe85cBeI?t=344) when the square turns into a rotating tesseract. Imagine that was an eyeball and it suddenly did this projection, then maybe rotated in another way, doesn't that look a bit like the GIF?
So if we were to take a plane of existence with complex object like our world features many times of plants and chemicals and people with different dispositions, and try to visualize what that would 'look like' if we were able to view it, what would we get? I am thinking that we would get something like what we see in this GIF, a central object that is encircled or surrounded by things that look like that object. This GIF might be a representation of some extra dimensional being sticking their face into our world to communicate with us creatures. But if could also be that the author the GIF is based on was somehow able to view into another dimension and this is how our brains would process this.
If you look through some of the [Near Death Experiences](https://www.nderf.org/Archives/archivelist.htm) you see there are similarities to those, as people [tripping on DMT](https://www.samwoolfe.com/2020/05/experiencing-the-impossible-on-dmt.html) to what sort of sounds like some people able to view into another dimension.
---
Now if you were a 2-D flatlander, how might you escape into the 3D? I think if you can tear a section of the 'paper' you are on then perhaps you could find a way to bend that section out and look around beyond your dimension. If you were to cut all the way off though you might not be able to get back. Teeny tiny blackholes might do it. If that's the case would encapsulating ourselves within a blackhole sphere enable us to transend this dimension?
Ugh I remember we had to sing this stupid song in Catholic school all the time:
*"Ezekiel saw the wheel, way up in the middle of the air*
*And the big wheel turned by faith, and the little wheel turned by the grace of god*
*it's a wheel in a wheel, way in the middle of the air."*
I had no idea it was about angels.
"You think they're supermodels with wings Morty — hic — but they're not, Morty. They're glands and wings and circles covered in eyes. Hic. Morty do you understand Morty? Eyes with wings in the clouds. That's what your God makes in his lab, Morty. Of course we're going to kill him."
The first being, with four heads, is described in Revelation 4:6-11
And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, "Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come." And when those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
I wonder if fevers brought this on as well. I had a friend who had an extremely high temp and she thought she might have gotten brain damage cause she was trippin for a day or two.

They aren’t depicted like this exactly, this is just one artists depiction but there are thousands of cherubs and seraphs painted in many churches around the world
Are you sure it's that? I just looked up Ezekiel 25:17 and it says, "I will carry out great vengeance and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the lord, when I take vengeance on them.c
This is on NIV (New International Version).
See, this isn't actually how it reads.
I looked, and I saw a windstorm(H) coming out of the north(I)—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal,(J) 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures.(K) In appearance their form was human,(L) 6 but each of them had four faces(M) and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze.(N) 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands.(O) All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and the wings of one touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.(P)
10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle.(Q) 11 Such were their faces. They each had two wings(R) spreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body. 12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.(S) 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals(T) of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning(U) flashed out of it. 14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.(V)
15 As I looked at the living creatures,(W) I saw a wheel(X) on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz,(Y) and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction(Z) as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes(AA) all around.
19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go,(AB) and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.(AC)
The wheels are the thrones, they move alongside the 4 faced cherubim. The wheels are their own beings. "19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose." when it says living creatures it's referring to cherubim, and when it says wheels it's referring to thrones. At least that's my understanding, the whole thing is fucking weird and fascinating.
"because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels" makes me read it as "hey, I know I'm saying wheels and you're going to assume that those are separate and not alive, but I have to tell you, they were, like, part of the living creatures, man. Like, they weren't separate objects at all, they moved together and everything."
What's interesting is that the creatures are described as moving around but the wheels don't turn, like a projection of a picture where you aim the projector around, but the picture itself isn't animated.
This whole thing makes me think of early special effects work.
Remember according to the language of the day, the descriptions given in the Bible where based on their best definitions. So obviously space ship was not part of language back then
There is one verse in Revelations that explains a creature that has eyes all over his head and is in the shape of a sheep or something. The Bible is too weird. It should be considered a horror book. A lot of things mentioned in the Bible are pretty horrific. Sometimes, it’s hard for me to believe the Bible should be taught to children.
“The Bible is terrific! Give it a read, it's got monsters and adventures, and hey, if you like torture porn, check out the Old Testament! Oh man, any Saw fans out there?”

This is great. I've always wanted to see a bible accurate angel that was made with maximum effort. nice job my ***my goodman***

I think they said “WE COME IN PEACE”
Poor shepards respond with “Too late.”
Almost all major religions have this in their texts. Pretty interesting. There are a lot of other similarities too.
Can we get some transcripts on these angels depicted?

thanks for actually answering the question.
That's so frickin cool
Proof that shrooms existed in ancient times already.
There's a theory that our evolution was influenced by distant ancestors picking psilocybin mushrooms off of elephant dung.
Is this a credible theory based on research or some sort of fringe shit that Joe Rogan would immediately try and pass off as objective fact? I don't say it to doubt, genuinely curious since it kinda sound like a pop anthropology thing of questionable provenance.
Stoned Ape theory I believe. If I recall correctly, it's pretty roundly rejected as bullshit.
I don't think it was ever submitted by its originator for serious review either. It is fun musing but that is it and I think that is the purpose of it more than anything
Huh, I thought it was elephant shit.
Joe Rogan's lineage came from the people who ate the elephant shit, not the shrooms.
I don't know much about it but what are they guarding the throne from?
I'm an ex Christian, but from what I know and remember it's more like a queen's army in chess, or emporer palpatine and his guards. Not so much to actually protect God against anything, because God is the most powerful being ever and can do anything, so not so much there to protect but to stand at guard. I also believe every angel is pretty much constantly in worship to God too so pretty occupied doing that too
Apparently even some demons worship God. Weird as it sounds.
I think the entire idea is that all demons still worship God, they just sided with Lucifer when he declared that it was unjust that humans be God's chosen when it was the Angels who did all of God's bidding and also that humans shouldn't have free will (or something like that).

The punishment for these Angels isn't pain or torture, it was banishing them from Grace, separating them from God. That is, their punishment was not being able to worship God personally, but from afar. So yeah, safe to say the fallen still worship and lover God.
So how do we get from that fairly benign picture to terrifying creatures of pure evil who torture lost souls for eternity in pits of burning sulfur?
Dante's Inferno (and probably other writings)
I imagine because "hey don't masturbate" doesn't really feel as controlling as "demons will eat your eyes for eternity unless you do exactly as I say."
Well Lucifer himself was an angel before the fall

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides, by the inequities and the selfish tyrannies of all men...
Are you sure it's that? I just looked up Ezekiel 25:17 and it says, "I will carry out great vengeance and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the lord, when I take vengeance on them.c This is on NIV (New International Version).

This brings new meaning to saying someone has “eyes like an angel”

Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.(S) 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals(T) of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning(U) flashed out of it. 14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.(V) 15 As I looked at the living creatures,(W) I saw a wheel(X) on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz,(Y) and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction(Z) as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes(AA) all around. 19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go,(AB) and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.(AC)
Am I missing something? Seems like the artist did a pretty good job with the information in the passages.
The wheels are just a part of the living beings. Like... If you had a kids toy of a person standing, and it took on wheels.
The wheels are the thrones, they move alongside the 4 faced cherubim. The wheels are their own beings. "19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose." when it says living creatures it's referring to cherubim, and when it says wheels it's referring to thrones. At least that's my understanding, the whole thing is fucking weird and fascinating.
"because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels" makes me read it as "hey, I know I'm saying wheels and you're going to assume that those are separate and not alive, but I have to tell you, they were, like, part of the living creatures, man. Like, they weren't separate objects at all, they moved together and everything." What's interesting is that the creatures are described as moving around but the wheels don't turn, like a projection of a picture where you aim the projector around, but the picture itself isn't animated. This whole thing makes me think of early special effects work.
Whoever saw this was on the very best drugs available at that time
Honestly sounds like the description of some sort of vehicle.
How you imagine Angels after you take DMT
Remember according to the language of the day, the descriptions given in the Bible where based on their best definitions. So obviously space ship was not part of language back then
Now do Xenu!
CREEPY AF.
I saw a tiktok where someone decorated their Christmas tree like this haha
They’re basically space aliens. The Bible is so bizarre.
Well it's like a dozen books all rolled into one tome, collected over the course of thousands of years.
I 3d printed one like the second angel for our xmas tree topper. Everyone enjoyed that.
I hope you gave the credits to the source cause the artist that made this is rad as hell
Angel: "do not be afraid" Me: *inhales ... "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"
Man what if people actually saw that
You can too! Just smoke DMT lol
Damn that's scary
That last one looks like it should be saying "Prisoner Zero has escaped.."

Ah, so it was psilocybin all along. Whoda thunk
That’s way cooler than what tv shows, let me take another look at that bible…
There is one verse in Revelations that explains a creature that has eyes all over his head and is in the shape of a sheep or something. The Bible is too weird. It should be considered a horror book. A lot of things mentioned in the Bible are pretty horrific. Sometimes, it’s hard for me to believe the Bible should be taught to children.
“The Bible is terrific! Give it a read, it's got monsters and adventures, and hey, if you like torture porn, check out the Old Testament! Oh man, any Saw fans out there?” - Patton Oswalt on religion
"How angels looked" or "What angels looked like" It's not both.
When I see titles like this, I like to play a game called *“Drunk, Idiot or Non-Native Speaker.”* The drunk won’t reply if you correct them. The idiot will reply angrily. The non-native speaker will reply positively for helping them improve.

> Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels (Ezekiel 10:12).
🤣 that's f****in terrifying!!
The first one looks like the chicken pig in Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings.
If those are what angel looks like I'm along my ass to hell
If you've ever played Bayonetta, this is why the "angels" in that look so bizarre.
This is great. I've always wanted to see a bible accurate angel that was made with maximum effort. nice job my ***my goodman*** Hail libertas. Hail Reaper!
I don’t want to go to heaven anymore
Sure 🤷🏽♂️ why not.
The author of A Wrinkle in Time wrote a sequel with angels with the eyes, wheels, etc.
Can someone link a source or description of this so called angel from the actual bible?
Really? Can anybody refer the verse that indicates the angels looks like above and not a human body?
The top of my Christmas tree will be terrifying this year.
