Christians don't hold a monopoly on Angels. They are mentioned in the Old Testament more than a few times.

Genesis 3:22-24 tells us that Adam and Eve were almost like God and the Angels.

Revelation 1:

12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,

13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.

14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;

15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;

16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.

18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.

19 Write[i] the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.

20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.


.... I am not saying these are angels, and seriously doubt that they are, but there is a history of Jesus being mentioned along with the candlesticks (which I believe to be a menorah), and angels.

Christian angels are blue crosses? I thought they were like, humans with wings? Whats the difference between Christian angels and Jewish angels? They are both from the old testament, seems to me they would be the same?
