    The third rank angels (in the picture on the right) are also called Ophanim (“wheels”) or Thrones.

    There are two other major weird classes of angels in the Abrahamite mythology: Sephardim and Cherubim. Most Angels apparently have to say this one sentence whole day without interruption to praise the Abrahamite God.

    IIRC: Some Angels were fallen because they fucked with and impregnated mortal human women (I do not know about consent status), which brought violent giants into existence.

      Another inaccuracy is “covered their eyes with wings” being translated as “covered in eyes and wings”.

      In fact, there are depictions of both going back many centuries, with the former being the most common until memes came along. It even makes more sense contextually, because the accounts would be written by humans and due to the aforementioned fallen angels it was probably not allowed for angels to even make eye contact with Humans.
