Description
There has always been a confusion with angels and other heavenly beings, such as cherubim, seraphim, and other creatures. The women with stork-like wings that Zechariah saw was unlikely an angel. For an angel was with Zechariah at the time as well as the fact that the women were not messengers like angels were. Furthermore, cherubim, which are bearers and guardians of those precious things pertaining to Gods glory are no more messengers than seraphim, which express the glory of God in his throne room. And while demons were angels at one time, it is either highly unlikely that they are winged, and if they are, then it is not an inheritance of their angel origin. And so it is with great regret (as with all great truths) that I state that angels indeed do not have wings. However, while this may excite some sense of confusion or disappointment at our own conception of angels, just remember, angels can be just as effective without wings as with them. And besides, I doubt one should go about erasing all the artwork of angels with wings, for it seems to comfort us to see them with those splendid soft white feathery wings even if theyre not true.
