biblically accurate
Eyes, wheels, wings
Biblically accurate describes something that faithfully represents what scripture actually says, as opposed to later artistic or cultural interpretations.
The phrase gained popularity through memes contrasting Renaissance paintings of gentle, winged angels with the bizarre creatures described in Ezekiel and Revelation—wheels covered in eyes, six-winged beings, figures of terrifying radiance: a biblically accurate angel would make you scream, not smile.
