DESCRIPTION OF THE "ANGELIC HIERARCHY"
"All three major religions of the Western world, Christianity,
Judaism, and Islam, as well as virtually all of the world's other
systems of religious belief, include celestials in their cosmologies.
Their scriptures all contain references to angelic int erventions."
"Angels, like people, belong to families or clans. Many names have
been given to them, but in the opinion of a number of angel
historians, the most familiar can be arranged in three categories, or
spheres, starting at the top with those closest to God, and moving
down to those who are connected to the physical world." ...
"The word 'angel' itself is used both as a generic term to refer
to all heavenly beings, and as a specific term to refer to the members
of the third sphere, those closest to the physical. So, too, the word
'archangel' is often used as a generic term to refer to all the high
orders of heavenly beings, although they are in fact but one of the
higher orders."
"According to Abigrael, there are four orders within the heavenly
hosts that particularly concern us now: angels, archangels,
principalities, and thrones." ...
"While it looks like there is a higher and lower echelon, it's
more accurate to visualize all these orders in a great circle, with
the "highest" and the "lowest" holding hands. For example, seraphim,
who appear to be closest to the Creator, also serve t he God in us."
In the New Testament celestial beings are grouped into seven
ranks: angels, archangels, principalities, powers, virtues, dominions,
and thrones. Plus, the Old Testament adds cherubim and seraphim, which
with the other seven ranks, comprise the nine cho irs of angels in
later Christian theology; although the number has generally been fixed
at seven. The angels receiving the most attention and veneration were
the four angels mentioned in the O.T. and the Apocrypha.
The Spiritual Hierarchy
The 9 orders of angelic beings
(1 being the highest order)
The First Sphere -- angels who serve as heavenly counselors
1 - SERAPHIM
2 - CHERUBIM
3 - THRONES
The Second Sphere -- angels who work as heavenly governors
4 - DOMINIONS
5 - VIRTUES
6 - POWERS
The Third Sphere -- angels who function as heavenly messengers
7 - PRINCIPALITIES
8 - ARCHANGELS
9 - ANGELS
SERAPHIM
"The highest order of the highest hierarchy are the seraphim, the
celestial beings said to surround the throne of God, singing the music
of the spheres, and regulating the movement of the heavens as it
emanates from God."
CHERUBIM
"Beyond the thrones are the cherubim. They are the guardians of
light, and of the stars. Remote from your plane of reality, still
their light touches your lives, the divine light that they filter down
from Heaven." -- Lucifer (Satan/Devil) is known as the 'angel of
light, whom God's light shown through' -- before his 'sin against
God'.
THRONES
"The first order in the third sphere is the thrones. They are the
companion angels of the planets. At this time in your history it is
important for you to be aware of the particular throne, the Earth
Angel, who is guardian of your world." -- [ Lady Gaia ]
DOMINIONS
"The dominions are the heavenly beings who govern the activities
of all the angelic groups lower than they are. Divine bureaucrats,
they also serve to integrate the spiritual and the material worlds.
Although they take their orders from God, and rarely contact
individuals, their work is connected to your reality."
VIRTUES
"Beyond the powers are another group of beings, the virtues. They
are of particular importance to you now because they are able to beam
out massive levels of divine energy. As more groups of you learn to
work with the virtues, their will be a greater infusion of spiritual
energy available on your planet."
POWERS
"The first order of the second sphere are those beings who have
been known as powers. They are the bearers of the conscience of all of
humanity, the keepers of your collective history. The angels of birth
and death are in this category. They are able to draw down and hold
the energy of the divine plan the same way trees draw down the energy
of the Sun. In this way, the powers can send all of you a vision of a
world spiritual network. Just as you have a heart, liver, kidneys, and
other organs in your body, all of the worlds religions are different
organs in the emerging spiritual body of this planet." -- For example,
The Bahai Faith.
PRINCIPALITIES
"Beyond the group of archangels are the principalities. They are
the guardian angels of all large groups, from cities and nations to
recent human creations such as multi-national corporations. These
might more accurately now be called integrating angel s. There are
many of these beings involved with your planet....one particular
integrating angel who carries the pattern of a unified global order in
its heart."
ARCHANGELS
"Beyond the angels are the beings you are used to calling the
archangels. But we suggest that you call them overlighting angels,
since they tend the larger arenas of human endeavor. These beings are
from a different family from the angels. There are m any different
kinds of overlighting angels in this larger family. The four you are
most familiar with are Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel."
ANGELS
"The angels that you're most familiar with are those in the last
order. They are the ones who are closest to humanity, the ones most
concerned with human affairs. Within the category of angels, there are
many different kinds, with different functions.. ..The ones that you
know best....are the guardian angels. Because of shifts in their
functions and your consciousness, it is useful to think of these
celestial beings as companion angels. As you enter a time of increased
light and love on the planet, th ey will not need to guard you, but
rather will be your guides to greater and greater consciousness." --
This can be related directly to the transformation of the Earth into
the Galactic Federation, with the Earth entering the photon belt,
transmuting us i nto the Fourth Dimension. According to the Galactic
Federation, we will be assisted during this time both by our own
angelic hierarchy (above) and by mass landings of Humans from the
Sirius star cluster.
