“The higher orders [of angels] are presumed to be closer in their nature to God and to function in roles that serve God more directly than the lower orders, which tend to the administration of the physical universe and the service of humankind. Some orders are associated with particular divine qualities - Seraphim with Love, Cherubim with Wisdom, Thrones with Judgment.” OrderUniverseQualityRolesDivineParticularHigherJudgmentAngelFunctionAdministrationHumankindServing GodThrones Book:In Search of Angels: A Celestial Sourcebook for Beginning Your Journey Source: In Search of Angels: A Celestial Sourcebook for Beginning Your Journey

“The earth will never be the same again Rock, water, tree, iron, share this greif As distant stars participate in the pain.

“Angels appear to transcend all cultures, races, and systems. They are a part of human history and civilization, sometimes at the forefront, other times in the shadows, but they are always there. They don't belong to any one particular religion, although many modern people try to associate them with Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. No one religion holds total responsibility for the belief in angels. In truth, these religions only support the existence of angels, they didn't create them.” PeopleTryingHumansSometimesCultureBeliefRaceExistenceResponsibilityChristianitySupportModernParticularCivilizationAngelShadowIslamAssociatesJudaismHuman History Author:Silver RavenWolf
