Hierarchy Of Angels Pt. 1: The Seraphim

Hierarchy Of Angels Pt. 1: The Seraphim


2 minute read

Today, we embark on a celestial odyssey as we begin our exploration of angels and their hierarchy, beginning with the enigmatic Seraphim.

Seraphim are celestial beings often revered as the Highest Order among angels.

The term "Seraphim" finds its roots in the Hebrew word "seraph," meaning "the fiery ones." Mentioned in biblical texts, these celestial entities are described as often possessing several faces, hands, eyes, and feet. A distinctive characteristic sets them apart – each Seraph boasts six wings. Four of these wings are used to shield themselves in the divine presence, signifying profound humility. The remaining two wings serve as instruments of flight.

In their perpetual worship of God, the Seraphim continuously cry out "holy, holy, holy." This constant act of reverence underscores their unwavering devotion. Frequently depicted in religious art, these celestial beings radiate an intense, fiery light symbolizing the boundless love of the divine.

Serving as the angels closest to God, the Seraphim encircle His throne, emanating an unparalleled radiance. They are often called "fiery serpents," and not even other divine beings dare to gaze upon them. 

Strikingly, there exist only four Seraphim, each adorned with four faces. When these celestial beings descend to Earth, they forsake their serpentlike appearance, often opting for a more human appearance. 

As we delve into the mysteries of the celestial, anticipate revelations that will reshape your understanding of the divine. The "Hierarchy of Angels" series pledges to unveil the intricate layers of celestial order, commencing with the awe-inspiring Seraphim.

Stay tuned.
