I've seen things resembling angels at various times throughout my life, but only ever appearing on walls or floors as images or images that moved. One night when I was on holiday, this was during my childhood, I saw some disturbing things and I saw some things that resembled angels with winds that flapped. I've also seen an angel when I was tripping on mushrooms, it was on the floor formed of golden light and was blowing a trumpet. I've seen another, in the centre of a carpeted floor surrounded by hideous creatures only this time it had no colour though it was larger and more powerful looking.

Is that second link a Japanese angel?

Neat about the images you saw, yeah things like that work too.

and as to the link.
No. while Japan does have winged dieties and such, the angel is a western idea. This a monster for an animated show/card game based on angels.

I have seen angels in combat with demons. That is a fun sight. They are rather human-like, but at the same time very... perfect-looking and superior. The angel that was there the longest was male (of course) with shimmering hair of an undetermined color. He was muscular, but not to the point where his muscles called attention to themselves.
Rhuen
I've personally never seen an angel in this lifetime. or what one would recognize as an angel.

Looking back at the oldest descriptions they looked just like other humans just with supernatural powers. its fun of course to use the winged look to distinquish them from normal humans "above humans" funny thing is the winged look was originally for ancient gods around the world.

Angels sometimes appear in human form, male or female, old or young. There's a bit in the bible, I think, where it says something about entertaining strangers and that you may be entertaining an angel. I have read personal accounts of angels assuming human form, and I've had a possible encounter of my own which I'm going to keep to myself, but the other accounts I've read have appeared all over the place, on websites about angels, websites about ghosts, perhaps even on these forums from time to time.

I like this thread, so...

QUOTE
The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. 'My lords,' he said, 'please turn aside to your servant's house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.'
(Genesis 19: 1)
It is strange that Lot bows down to the angels, and that angels do not rebuke him for it. He may simply have been showing these strangers respect, bowing his head in deference to them maybe, and perhaps the angels did not regard this as Lot worshipping them above their Lord.
QUOTE
'No,' they answered, 'we will spend the night in the square.'
But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate.
(Genesis 19: 2-3)
So angels can eat?
QUOTE
Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom-both young and old-surrounded the house. They called to Lot, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.'
(Genesis 19: 3)
The sons of God desired the daughters of men, and the sons of Sodom desired two angels that they thought were men.

1:He bowed before them as a sign of respect, a customary thing to do, no reason they would have interpruted it as worship.

2: yes

3: This is a debatable translation, as some view it as beating them and taking their goods. That or angels give off a strong sex appeal unsure.gif

Chapter 10
10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Metatron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Metatron (alternate spelling: Metraton, sometimes referred to as the latin Metator) is the name of an angel in Judaism and some branches of Christianity. However, there are no references to him in the Jewish Torah (Old Testament) or the Christian Scriptures (New Testament) and there is no consensus as to his genesis or the role that he plays in the hierarchy of Heaven and Hell. According to one school of thought, Enoch was taken by God and transformed into Metatron. However, this viewpoint is not shared by many Talmudic authorities.

The Zohar identifies Metatron as the angel that led the people of Israel through the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt. Metatron is also mentioned in the Pseudepigrapha, most notably in the Hebrew Book of Enoch (also called 3rd Enoch). According to Johann Eisenmenger, Metatron transmits the daily orders of God to the angels Gabriel and Sammael. Metatron is often identified as being the twin brother to Sandalphon, who is said to have been the prophet Elijah.

Does anyone know the descriptions of the orders of Angels known as Thrones, Princes, Powers, and Dominations? Or even have pics of them?
The only orders I know the forms for are Seraphim (six-winged beings), Cherubim (four-winged beings), Angels (two-winged beings), and Archangels (usually Angels in golden armor or given individual characteristics, like Gabriel the "female" angel with a lily wand). Well, okay, Ophanim (flaming wheels with eyes) are techinally the same as one of the other orders, but I forget which one. darkangel.gif

Using that I noticed...:

QUOTE
Seraphim

According to Enoch, there were only 4 Seraphim, which corresponded to the four winds or directions. Later commentators interpreted this as there were 4 major princes who ruled over the Seraphim. They include either Metatron or Satan, Kemuel, Nathanael, and Gabriel.

Certain passages also refer to a saraph or Seraphim as "fiery serpents" (saraph means fiery) - see Numbers 21:6 and 21:8, Deuteronomy 8:15, and several passages in Isaiah. Isaiah 30:6 talkes of a "fiery flying serpent" which lives in the southern desert between Palestine and Egypt.


Metatron is sometimes identified as Satan, Prince of Darkness, or "old dragon." He is said to possess 36 wings and countless eyes


It sounds alot like something I read out of the Satanic Bible... It States that there were 4 princes of hell, each one for a major direction on the compass (North, South, East and West) I believe it is that Belial represents the north, Satan represents the south, Lucifer represents the east, and Leviathan represents the west. Aside from Lucifer, I've heard of a serpentine form for each of the demons, the most well known serpents of course being Satan and Leviathan.
