Biblically Accurate Spirits & Celestial Beings

If you’re looking for biblically accurate characters from the heavenly realm, prepare yourself—these aren’t the winged humans in white robes that centuries of art have taught us to expect.

Forget the chubby baby angels with harps—the biblically accurate spirits and celestial beings described in scripture would make your hair stand on end.

We’re talking about Seraphim with six wings covered in eyes, Cherubim with four faces (human, lion, ox, and eagle), and the Ophanim that are basically wheels within wheels spinning with eyeballs all around them.

These biblically accurate spirits and celestial beings are nothing like the Renaissance paintings hanging in museums.
From God’s appearances as burning bushes and pillars of fire, to archangels like Michael and Gabriel who strike terror before they say “fear not,” the heavenly realm is full of beings that look more like something from a cosmic horror story than a greeting card.

Whether you’re here to learn about guardian angels, the different ranks of heavenly hosts, or just want to know what Jesus actually looked like according to scripture, these biblically accurate spirits and celestial beings will blow your mind.
Trust us, once you see what angels really look like in the Bible, you’ll understand why people always fell on their faces when they showed up.
