I only disagree with the article that angels have wings. There are a variety of created, spiritual orders of beings which are not angels; those Ezekiel saw were a few of these. They are the "winged" creatures depicted on the lid of the Ark of the Covenant.

Nowhere in the New Tesatment does the Bible describe angels as having wings.

Revalations 6:6-8

5 Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;

6 and before the throne there was something like a (Q)sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.

7 The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.

8 And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME."

And, they always appear as males...
