Background info: In heaven, there are 9 choirs of angels—angels and archangels
being the lowest, and cherubim and seraphim being the highest. The seraphim
are six-winged angels who wield so much radiant power that it would kill a
person to gaze (or any of the lower angels, for that matter) into any one of
their four faces. Each set of wings has a particular purpose—the upper set is
to cover their faces, the bottom is to cover their feet and the middle set is
to fly with. Seraphim are the closest beings to God and are said to work
hand-in-hand with him. I have my own explanations for this and how it works
and will be covering it in the following chapters. On another note, the archangel Michael, in Jewish literature,
is referred to as the champion and prince of "God’s People". He is
also mentioned in the Book of revelation as the one who leads the battle
against the "dragon" in the Great War. Forgive me for the rather
bizarre history I seem to have written up for him and Lucifer, but this idea
was just begging to be written. Let me say right now that I am taking several liberties with
this piece... but so far, I really like the results. ^_~ |
