The First Choir of Angels: Seraphim


Seraphim ----------------------------------

Seraphim means "burning ones". They are so bright that no one look upon them, including other angels. An alternate translation, "fiery serpent" likely comes from burning sensation of venom.

They have 6 wings, two covering the face, two covering the body, and two for flying, according to Isaiah 6.

Purposefully, they worship God and call attention to His majesty. They continuously shout, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. All the earth is filled with His Glory," which is called the Trisagion in the Greek Orthodox Church.

There are four seraphim princes that stand by the throne of God.

One seraph named Seraphiel, is said to have the head of an eagle. Lucifer may also have been a seraph before his fall.

  1. Here is a link to an audio from a spiritual group which is getting a lot of attention right now, they say that Humanity needs to know the truth. I really liked this part and felt special energies like never before : In your famous 1984 “Jesus Magazine” interview, you said that the 3rd Secret contained a quote, “religious prophecy”, unquote. In that interview, you also said, quote, “Things contained in this Third Secret correspond to what is announced in Scripture, and are confirmed by many other Marian apparitions”, unquote.
    You also said in the interview that the Third Secret talks about quote, “The dangers threatening the faith and life of a Christian, and therefore, the world, and also the importance of the last times”, unquote.
