When people try to picture angels, their minds often conjure up thoughts of winged men or cute, chubby babies with halos and harps. Throughout history, angels have been depicted as humanoid, but the pages of the Bible show them as mysterious and awe-inspiring beings, far beyond the soft-winged figures we often imagine. They are messengers of divine will, celestial warriors, and guardians of the cosmic order.

So, what exactly does the Bible have to say about angels, and how does this differ from our contemporary idea of them? Click through this gallery to find out.
