To amplify u/DefinitelyNotIGN , the risen Christ is portrayed as a being whose skin is glowing like furnace-heated brass, with a voice like a waterfall and a sword for a tongue. The angels that proclaim the glory of God before His throne are humanoids with six wings, and other angels are depicted as chimeras, some with dozens of eyes. Physical form is the least important aspect of the image of God.
