The Angels in Questions



Little chubby cherub

Other words referring to angels include כרוב kruv describing young children, from which the English word "cherub" is derived. Of course this is not how the bible portrayed the cherubim

The Halo Effect
Do angels or any saints have halo? 

There is a proclaimer angel crowned with rainbow, Re10:1 So the answer is no.

 A halo a ring or circle of light around the head of a saint in a religious painting. Although not biblical, it is pattern from Ex34:29,where Moses’ face shines. 

In the Vulgate this aura, the reflection of God’s glory, is translated as horn. [Mid-16th century. Via medieval Latin < Greek halos "disk around the Sun or Moon"]




MV: Mk8:18
Bib1Yr:Js1-3Joshua Son of nun
