Tumblr users banded together to illustrate just how terrifying angels would look, using nothing more than historical imagery. There doesn't seem to be anything about these that scream, "angelic." Nah, getting more of a monster vibe than anything else. 

Check out some more fun from Tumblr with this thread about how death isn't a bad guy.

    Text - Basically, when the people writing Scripture tried to describe what they saw when they saw an angel... they run into the end of their imagination... they can never quite seem to fully explain it because they had trouble even comprehending what they saw, let alone being able to describe it to someone else. revelation19

    Text - glitterbomb-goblinking I used to listen to this radio show and one thing I remember because it was so funny was a Christmas special where an angel showed up to tell the shepherds about the birth of Christ. The conversations went: Angel: “FEAR NOT." Shepherds: *screaming* Angel: "I SAID FEAR NOT." Shepherds: *screaming LOUDER*

    Text - Angel: "WHAT PART OF FEAR NOT ARE YOU NOT UNDERSTANDING?" cameoamalthea So demons are fallen angels but they don't look scary because they're fallen, that's just what all angels look like.
