DEFINITIONS:
< The Random House College Dictionary 1988. >
The top Order of Angels has no definition, at least found in poresent dictionaries, However, it was stated as a secret society or level of Angels closets to God.
Seraph: 1. One of the celestial beings hovering above God’s throne in Isaiah’s vision Isa. 6.
2. A member of the highest order of angels.
Cherub: 1. A celestial being. Gen. 3:24; Ezek. 1.10 .
2. Theol. A member of the second order of Angels, often represented as a wing child.
3. An innocent child.
Archangel: 1. Theol. A chief or principal angel; in medieval angelology one of the nine orders of celestial attendants on God.
Angel: 1. One of a class of spiritual beings; a celestial attendant of God. In medieval angelology, angels constituted the lowest of the nine celestial orders.
2. A conventional representation of such being, in human form, with wings.
3. A messenger, esp. of God,
4. An attendant or guardian spirit.
5. A deceased person whose soul is regarded as being in heaven.
6. A person who performs acts of great kindness.
7. A person whose actions and thoughts are undeviatingly virtuous
8. Informal, a person who provides financial backing for some undertaking, esp. a play.
Celestial Order: Ophannim Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones Domination, or Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities or Princedoms, Archangels, and Angels which are in two categories, Watcher and Holy one.
Note: Thrones, Domination, Virtues, Powers, and Principalities definition is:
Dictionaries: They all seem to agree as to the definitions of the four class. Now, I don’t want to be perceived that what is in a dictionary as to be factual and above reproach.
I have a Webster’s dictionary dated in 1897 that actually gives the definition of a Unicorn: A small orange colored horse with a single horn on its head and found in Ethiopia. Today’s definition is
“ 1. A mythical creature resembling a horse and having a single horn in the center of its forehead; 2. An animal mentioned in the bible: now believed to be a wild ox or rhinoceros.” Realizing that definitions given are generalized, and sometimes forgotten due to modernization and changes of languages we must start with some kind of perspective of what we are dealing with.
Notice how five of the nine Celestial Orders were only classified as “ An order of Angels.”
Bible: I do not dispute the validity of the Bible, and contents contained within. Though it has been translated and rewritten, more times then the phone book for Denero, Texas, it has maintained its validity and has passed the test of time. Many passages from the dead sea scrolls align and confirm the information printed in today’s Bible.
Interpretation: Interpretation almost coexists with Opinion. It is ones interpretation of something that develops his opinion on the matter. A persons opinion, can often effect their interpretation of a matter. Within this wonderful world of ours, people have their opinions and interpretations on everything, anything, and everyone. That’s what makes us unique. In the past one may interpreted a rhinoceros as being a magical unicorn, while another may had argued because in his opinion a unicorn was an orange horse, and to others they didn’t believe it was either. This holds true in the reading of the Bible and its context. The same words are in each one, yet the humans ability to interpret them as the same and come to the same opinion has been limited.
Faith: It is agreed by a majority of the worlds population today that there is a God. His name however changes with the interpretation and opinions accepted. The ultimate fact that the belief in God makes a persons faith. Angels on the other hand don’t maintain a consistency with the population. Some do believe and others don’t believe in Angels. The Nine Celestial Order of Angels is not accepted by many faiths. In some faiths female Angels do not exist, ( sorry women’s movement ) or that Angels actually have wings. It is agreed upon that there are Good and Bad Angels, and that Angels were created by God to serve him. In some faiths it is believed that humans
do not become Angels after death. In the Catholic Church it is believed that there were seven “ Secretary Angels “ assigned to each of the seven churches.
This Publication: My interpretations, beliefs, and opinions about Angels are strictly my own and I will not subject them to anyone. I do hope that this publication can openly and honestly give you information about Angels. I will include stories from people and their Opinions and Interpretations. I will include as much information, about Angels, that becomes available from all religions. This does not mean that I agree or disagree with their interpretation and opinions.
In the definition of an Angel “ 6: A person who performs acts of great kindness. “
I think that we should at least give the effort of trying to be an Angel. I like that Idea.
