How does the Bible describe angels? What do biblically accurate angels look like?
The Bible describes angels in many different ways.
With the angel Gabriel, we often see him like a man.
But some other angels, for example, with those who roll away the stone, they seem to be a glory around them that was almost unmistakable, that caused those who encountered them to be afraid, and that's one of the things that the angels would often say, is, Do not be afraid.
Angels At Times Have Features of Animals
Angels are also seen in the Scriptures with the features of animals.
For example, in the book of Ezekiel, angels are seen there as having the head of an eagle, a lion, a man and an ox.
In describing the cherubs, a type of angel, we see that The Scriptures describe them as having four heads.
Many relate those heads to the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Anges Appear Like Men
Angels, many times in scriptures, are seen as men.
When the angels visited Lot, people thought they were men.
They're not in that instance seen as having wings or anything like that, but Abraham was able to distinguish that these "men" aren't regular men.
These "different men", are referred to as angels when they went down to Sodom and Gomorrah to destroy the place, when they were interacting with Abraham's cousin, Lot.
