        Here’s a fair explanation, but in short there are different kinds of angels described in the abrahamic texts and traditions, and only some of them resemble the classical “human with a pair of wings” depiction. Many wings, many eyes, chimeric fusions, elemental fire and light, and non-biological (to our understanding) forms are among the features of those descriptions.

          Venture into desert cause my wife and kids pissed me off tonight and my boss is an asshole.

          I need a walk.

          Where dafuk am I. Shit I’m fucked.

          Thirsty as hell. No water anywhere.

          Oh hey there’s a weird cactus ball over there. It’s not much but it’s something.

          Ouch, fucking needles. Whatever, don’t care, thirsty.

          Chomp chomp. Keep on walking.

          Sun’s setting; that’s weird never seen it purple before.

          It’s dark now I think. But not really dark either. Wtf is going on with the sky?

          Oh hey look a bush. It’s on fire. I should go listen to it.

          It’s talking to me? Ok that’s cool cool, wonder what this bush has to say.

          Blah blah some babble about some dude named Jehova and some rules. Dude wtf. There’s enough rules in my life already.

          Eh ok some of these kinda make sense. Maybe I should write it down.

          Fuck, left my chalk at the house. But there’s some slabs of rock over there maybe I can just scratch it in until I get back home.

          Done. Now how the fuck do I get home from this mountain? How did I get on this mountain in the first place. Shit’s weird bruh, but I think I can see the light of my city over there.

          K bush, ima go home now. Ciao.

          My bro at home, he’s all like where ya been?

          Cool story bro, you ain’t gonna believe this shit.

          Better sit down and get something to write with would ya?

        You literally posted the explanation. It’s a meme where an angel with a bunch of eyeballs or something says don’t be afraid and the person says this is the scariest moment of my life or something.
