These were the mighty men who ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ were of old, the men of renown. The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was ​ ​ ​ ​ great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only ​ ​ evil continually. The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, ​ ​ and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And ​ ​ the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his ​ ​ heart.

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end.

Jeffrey Kranz - From a website https://overviewbible.com/angels-demons/ ​ ​ 2. Seraphim

Alignment: Good ​ The singular form of seraphim is “.” (Hebrew uses “-im” similarly to how we add “-s” to words to make them plural.) The mentions seraphim only twice, both in Isaiah’s grand vision of the Lord in the temple in Isaiah chapter 6. We can only discern a few things about the seraphim from this passage:

● Isaiah sees seraphim serving in the presence of God’s in

the temple.

● Seraphim have six wings. Two are used for covering their faces,

two for covering their feet, and two for flight.

● Seraphim have hands.

● The seraphim proclaim God’s holiness to one another.

● At least one seraph plays a part in forgiving Isaiah of his sin.

“Seraphim” is usually defined as “burning ones.” The few other times the Hebrew root of the word (serap) shows up, it’s in reference to the “fiery ​ ​ serpents” that God sent to judge the children of Israel in the wilderness (Nu ​ 21:6, Dt 8:15) or “flying serpents” that Isaiah talks about in two of his ​ ​ ​ oracles (Is 14:29; 30:6). ​ ​ ​ ​

3. Cherubim

● Cherubim guard things. When God expels Adam and Eve from ​ Eden, he stations a with a flaming sword to guard the

pathway to the (Gn 3:24). ​ ​ ● Cherubim support God’s throne. In Ezekiel’s visions, the throne ​ of God rests above the cherubim. The ancient Hebrews described

God as “enthroned above the cherubim” (2 Ki 19:15; Ps 18:10; ​ ​ ​ ​ :16, etc.). However, not every description of God’s throne ​ includes cherubim. Daniel sees the Ancient of Day’s throne simply

has flaming wheels ( 7:9), with no note of cherubim supporting ​ ​ it. Note: two golden cherubim figures were attached to the ark ​ of the covenant (Exodus 25:18–22). ​ ​ ​ ● Cherubim play a part in judgment. In Ezekiel 10, a cherub hands ​ a burning coal to another character in Ezekiel’s vision who has just

slaughtered the disobedient residents of .

4.

Alignment: Good ​ There’s only one character in called an , and that’s Michael. We don’t know much about the specific duties archangels perform, ​ nor do we know how many there are. “Arch-” means “chief,” and the calls Michael a “chief prince” (Dan 10:13; 12:1). So it’s possible that archangels are a rank up from the next ​ ​ ​ ​ kind of angelic being: princes. 5. Princes

Alignment: Good and evil ​ We only see good seraphim. Cherubim seem to be good, too (unless Satan is a cherub, of course). But there’s one type of supernatural being that we see on both sides of the heavenly war: princes. We don’t know much about angelic or demonic princes. But we do see a conversation between the wise man Daniel and an angel about the matter in ​ ​ Daniel’s tenth chapter. In this passage, an angel has a message for Daniel that should be delivered post-haste. But an opposing figure known only as the Prince of Persia stands in this angel’s way. This prince blocks the angel for three weeks, until Michael the archangel intervenes. This buys the angel enough time to rush his message off to Daniel before returning to the fray. The angel mentions three specific princes:

● The Prince of Persia (Dan 10:13, 20) ​ ​ ​ ​ ● The Prince of Greece (20)

● Michael, a “chief prince” who stands guard over Israel (10:13; 12:1)

At least a few nations seem to have supernatural princes over them. We don’t know what it means to be a prince, nor what the specific princely responsibilities are. But it looks as though at the time of Daniel, there was a great deal of conflict between the princes. The prince of Persia does not the angel to deliver his message to Daniel, and only Michael is willing to step in to aid the messenger. Perhaps the most intriguing thing the Bible tells us is that while the conflict between the princes is fierce enough to interfere with God’s messages to his prophet, the conflict doesn’t seem to concern the whole . The angel speaking to Daniel tells him that no other angels stand firmly against the other princes—only Michael. 6. Kings

Alignment: Evil ​ Number:2+ ​ We’re still in Daniel 10. Remember how the Prince of Persia was standing against Daniel’s angel? Well, he wasn’t alone. The Prince of Persia is accompanied by “the kings of Persia” (Dan 10:13). ​ ​ I don’t know why there would be one prince and multiple kings. It’s possible that princes outrank kings in the celestial hierarchy—or maybe this Prince of Persia was a prize fighter on the battlefield and the kings of Persia were the strategic brain trust. We could speculate on this all day. 7. Rulers, powers, etc.

Alignment: Evil ​ Number: 2+ ​ The people of the believed that there were spiritual forces at work that had some degree of power over our physical world and the spiritual world, too. For example:

● The Pharisees disparage Jesus by saying he casts out by

the authority of “the ruler of demons” (Mt 9:34; Mk 3:22, Lk 11:15). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Jesus refers to “the ruler of this world” as someone who has

nothing to do with him (Jn 12:31; 14:30; 16:11) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Jesus prophesies that “the powers of heaven will be shaken” when

he returns (Mt 24:29; Mk 13:25; Lk 21:26) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Paul believes that the church’s struggle is against the rulers and

forces of darkness “in the heavenly places” (Eph 3:10; 6:12). ​ ​ ​ ​ Paul makes several lists of spiritual opponents that may either be demonic or under demonic influence. He refers to rulers, authorities, principalities, thrones, dominions, powers, names, and world forces (Ro 8:38; Eph 1:21; Col ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1:16). ​ It’s interesting to note that while Paul believes the church is at war with the rulers and powers in the spiritual realm, he often lumps together the spiritual forces with the physical ones when describing Christ’s supremacy. Remember how in Daniel 10, each prince and king seemed to represent a particular people group? The authors of the Bible seem to believe that there is more at work in human authority structures than mere humans. 8. Living creatures

Alignment: Good ​ Number:4 ​ John the Revelator sees a vision of the heavenly throne room in Revelation chapter 4, and instead of cherubim or seraphim, he sees four “living creatures” surrounding the throne. These creatures seem to combine the attributes of both the seraphim and cherubim—which is interesting, as John should have been familiar with both Isaiah’s and Ezekiel’s visions of God seated on his throne. Like the cherubim, the living creatures resemble a man, an ox, an eagle, and ​ a lion. They are four in number, and full of eyes. The living creatures also play a part in administering judgments from God on the earth (Rev 15:7). ​ ​ Unlike the cherubim, the living creatures seem to have one face each. ​ Instead of all four having the face of the man, ox, lion, and eagle, one living creature resembles a man, one an ox, etc. There’s also no mention of those whirring wheels. Like the seraphim, the living creatures have six wings each and never cease ​ to proclaim God’s holiness. Unlike the seraphim, we get a more thorough physical description of the ​ living creatures!
