True but the current online use of “biblically accurate angel” implies the angels we’ve been drawing are biblically inaccurate. That’s ignoring most types of angels, see Hierarchy of angels on Wikipedia.

As an atheist, I don’t think Ezekiel actually had divine visions so his (or whoever pretended to be Ezekiel’s) texts must have been based on what he’d heard or could think of. A gyroscope might be the most mesmerizing and high-tech device he had seen. What is its equivalent today? Volumetric display? Drone show? VR?
Yeah there’s stuff in there about taking on human form & more human like subdivisions too so both are biblically accurate, I think it caught on as a phrase because most of the depictions you find are like humans with wings or halos or both. I think an equivalent today if it was inspired by tech and not just a fully imagining hallucination might be something like a drone show or something natural but not common knowledge like a lightning sprite
