Angels Hierarchy

When we are young our parents or grandparents always tell us stories about Angels. That there is one angel each person that protects us from evil. Every time we imagine the Angels that surround God we think about little winged babies flying around. We used to believe that angels have almost the same appearance having golden hair with white robes.

But when we grew up, especially Christians, we encounter many bible characters who run when they see an Angel delivering a message from God. In this article, we will learn about the physical appearance of the angels as well as their hierarchy. Angels are divided into three spheres. The first sphere is Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones. The second sphere is Dominions, Virtues, and Powers. The third sphere is Principalities, Archangels, and Guardian Angels.

Seraphim

Isaiah described Seraphim with six-wing angels. The divine being is the closest to God praising His glory continually. They are considered fiery serpents that no other being shall look to them. Two of its wing are used for flying while the rest is to cover its body.

Cherubim

The second of the hierarchy of Angels. In the book of Ezekiel, Cherub Angels are described as Animal-Human Hybrid Angels consisting of four faces of lion, ox, eagle, and human. They are the angels that protect the garden of Eden from human beings.

Thrones

Thrones are depicted as Great wheels having many eyes. They reside in the cosmos chanting glorias. If you saw a large Ferris wheel, imagine it burning and alive with many eyes this is what Thrones looks like.

Dominions

They deliver Justice and manage the functions of the lower angels. Dominions hold a golden staff in the right hand and the seal of God in the left hand.

Virtues

Virtues are designated in doing miracles on the earth. They are brilliant and shining angels. They assist those whose struggling in faith.
