Angels
The
word Angels has been mentioned in many cultures and faiths for thousands of
years. The word angel derives from the Greek "Angelos" meaning "messenger."
Whatever faith you believe in they are mentioned in all. In Hebrew they are
called Mal’akh which means messenger
They are apart of Christianity, Moslem, Jewish, Mormon, Buddhism, Catholic,
Hindu, Islam.
But do they really exist? The answer is yes. Angels are messengers from God,
they play a major role in all faiths. There are various angels that have
certain roles to play. They can not majorley interfere with a persons life
plan but they can assist in times when it is needed. They can help protect
you, comfort you in times of need; they will help guide you towards your
goals especially in times of crisis.
Since the beginning of time angels have brought messages and help mankind,
they have brought messages of great joy as they did for the birth of Christ.
It was Archangel Gabriel that told Mary she was going to have a baby, and
the baby will be the son of God. They can warn you about approaching danger.
As I mentioned before they have helped assist mankind for thousands or
years, they are spoken about in all the scriptures ever written.
They are very high spiritual beings; they have a very high vibration. They
have never touched down to this plain, in other words they have never incarnated.
They have no need too, they are not human spirits. They are pure spiritual
beings that work with God and help us humans.
Angels are immortal beings, they are depicted often in human form but with
wings, they can be visible or invisible depending on what task is needed.
You have all heard of the flame within the burning bush that spoke to Moses,
this is said to be an angel communicating to Moses, but the angel choose
this form to appear.
There
are various types of angels which are all part of the Hierarchy of Angels.
It is said that the hierarchy of angels are listed from the highest to the
lowest in order of the 9 orders or choirs.
SERAPHIM
With the hierarchy these are considered the highest ranking. It is said they
are the angels of love and light and fire and adorn the throne room and are
the closest to God. Their pure light is so bright even other divine beings
can not look upon them as their vibration is so high and the light from them
so intense.
It is said there are four of these angelic beings described having six
wings, two covering the face, two covering the face and the other two for
flying. Seraphim has been mentioned in the book Revelation
CHERUBIM
Cherubim are the second highest order of angels, they name represents
wisdom. It is said these stand next to the throne of God. Cherubs were the
first angels mentioned in the bible as God requested two cherubs stand guard
at the gates of Eden and protect the Tree of Life. It is said that the
Cherubim have four wings.

Responsible for maintaining the border between Heaven and Earth. They are
like an elite guard continuously watching for any demonic attack. It is
their role to protect the world from any infiltration by demons and protect
our souls from these attacks. It is also said that at death they help guide
us to the spirit realms.

well know of all as we have all heard of them. Michael, Raphael and Gabriel
are mentioned in the bible. These types of angels bring Gods messages to us
humans. They are also in charge of Gods army of angels who are always
battling against evil within the spiritual warfare between the good and the
fallen angels.
There are seven archangels.

(humanity). These angels watch over our affairs very closely, they watch us
individually and protect us from demonic attacks. They help comfort and
