“And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!’“ -Revelation 4: 6b-8
“Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood… From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.” – Revelation 19:11-15
tl;dr: angels are scary looking dudes.
“The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed wth blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.” – Revelation 8:7-9. The passage goes on to describe five more angels who destroy the rest of the earth.
“Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.” -Revelation 15:1
