Do you believe in demons creatures and angelic creatures? And if you do, would you believe that they have been created with forms that are not common to us.
Let's take a trip into heaven! What we see a person would bearly be able to describe even if given the full power of human words. Heavenly creatures would stand before us, they having their own shapes and sizes; their appearance, their majesty touching our most inner soul and spirit.
As mortals we would now better understand and feel our mortality. A fallen spirit and a feeling of unworthiness would overwhelm us. We would be without words to describe heaven's grandeur, taken in by the fullness of the beauty of God's creation.
Yet from bits and pieces taken from the Bible we can draw certain conclusions, but of course it will be a picture drawn in shades, where the brightness of heaven's true colors are dulled by our mortal eyes, and the glory and holiness cannot be seen or felt in all their splendor.
The creatures we see are incorporeal, real beings of a higher power, perfection, and dignity. Spirit creatures, intelligent, first in both rank, and dignity among God's created beings; representing and fulfilling their offices as the messengers of God and declaring His will. Nothing in Scripture states weather they are male or female, but their names appear to be masculine, as in Michael and Gabriel.
There are nine listed orders, Seraphim; Cherubim; and thrones; dominions; virtues; powers; principalities; archangels; and angels. They excel in strength, are immortal; and act as agents through which God accomplishes His special purposes, declaring His will, and to enact judgments on persons, armies, or nations.
Creatures that Scriptures call Seraphim, Cherubim, arch-angels, angels, some having two wings, some four, others six, others without.
Another creature's appearance is that of burning coals of fire with four faces, and four wings. His feet were those of a calf, the color of his feet were of red hot brass. He has the hands of a man under his wings, and the appearance of his four faces were that of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle.
Now if we were to take a trip into the bowels of the earth below, what terror would we encounter? Demons, fallen angels, some having the appearance of Locusts, they having the faces of men, hair as women, shapes like those of a locusts. and then there are the frog like creatures reserved for God's end time judgment upon the fallen.
So what John saw in Revelation could only be describe to us with the things he was familiar with and what the people of that day knew and understood.
