Angels do not have wings as the world pictures

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

The world often shows figures with wings in pottery or drawings representing these winged figures as being "angels".

Angels do not have wings.  By the examples in the Bible we see that angles look just like men.  (no wings)

Gen. 19 ...

1And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; 2And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. 3And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: 5And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.


We see by this example these two angels looked like men to both Lot and to the men of Sodom who saw them.


In Genesis 17, 3 angels appeared to Abraham and again we see these angels looked just like men to Abraham.  1And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 2And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 4Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 5And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.   6And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.  7And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. 8And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

Twice God has allowed me to see angels.  Once in a dream I saw about 7 men sitting around a table.  There were a few precious stones on top of the table and these men were examining these stones.  Then one man said, "Then it is settled.  We'll go help her."  I knew these were angels, I knew the precious stones were the church, but these angels just looked just like men. (No wings)

Then a few months ago, I was praying concerning angels and God gave me an open vision, allowing me to see into heaven.  I knew I was seeing angels.  They were rejoicing, One was plump and jovial looking and was dancing in the group, sort of jumping up and down with his hands in the air and turning his body from side to side as he danced.  He caught my attention for he looked so happy.  These angels look just like men.  No wings.
