Biblically Accurate Angels/ Be Not Afraid Analysis

Biblically Accurate Angels/Be Not Afraid Be not afraid, so saith the turning wheels of eyes, enflamed with righteousness. In this meme we see the outcome of generations of reductive Christianity. The meme shows a legitimately inhuman force, a glimpse at the divinity that had been seen by Christians aeons ago. Why is it such a surprise to us? In the West, especially in the protestant West, where all sense of Mystery has disappeared into a cold logic, there is no room for the bizarre, inhuman expressions of Divinity that populated the archaic vestiges of Christianity and other religions. The Winged humanoids we are familiar with are ironically the least Christian depiction of divine beings. They are in fact remnants of Paganism, which worshiped Humanoid forms that Nature Spirits took on, such as nymphs, satyrs, maenads, and of course the Gods themselves. As Christianity rejected Nature as the source of divinity, turning within, and to the complete without, they found what bizarre forms divinity could embrace, the Cherubim, amalgamations of beasts that are closer to the beasts of Pagan faiths than erotic puttos, and the Ophanim, the flaming wheels that the memes depict. These are unique expressions of Christian cosmology. The adoration of humanoid angels, especially prevalent in New Age women, is a sign not of faith in Christ, but faith in sexual, Pagan forms of Eros. These memes function as a Return of the Repressed. The great Mythology of Christianity has been repressed through an obscene populist reduction, namely to the single verse John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. While this is a sublime line, it’s not the whole of Christianity, as many seem to think. Many Born Again Christians use this verse as a catchall to avoid living according to Biblical Morality, or ever gaining an understanding of the Bible. The Biblically accurate angels represent the Uncanny reality of the Bible, not simple, easy to grasp humanistic beings, but the mind boggling cosmic terror inherent to human interactions with the divine. The kind that turned Lot’s wife to Salt, or made Moses gleam brilliantly. This meme reminds us to look deeper into the history and iconography of religions which have been made consumer friendly, to be not afraid of the truth of what we believe. Remember, Memes Matter.
