Do you know that even inside heaven, all the angels/beings of heaven do not have the same grade of Holiness. Just as some angels are greater in strength, authority, power, rank, etc, than others, even so are they more "Holy" than others.

The most Holy Ones are those who remain in the presence of God day and night forever, but the lesser Holy Ones only stay shortly in God's presence and then they are not able to continue staying and have to retreat at some point.

According to this Enoch Verse:

1 ENOCH 14:21 - And the most holy ones who were nigh to God did not leave by night nor depart from Him..."

Though all the angels may present themselves and come minister to Him on the Throne, most of them return or leave after the session to their posts, duties or levels. But there are those who never leave unless they are sent. These were the Most Holy Ones who were close or near to God, and they abide with Him in His Presence day and night without ceasing. These include the Seraphim, Cherubim or Living Creatures that are always with Him, the Archangels, the Thunders, the Thrones, and by the time Enoch was seeing this, there was nothing like the “Twenty Four Elders” then because the twenty Four Elders were from among men, not from angels. Well, after the Blood of Jesus Christ was shed, the Twenty Four Elders were then redeemed from among men to join those who remain in God’s Presence as Kings and Priests to God. As it is written,

[Revelation 5:8-10] - And when He had taken the Book, the four beasts and twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints. And they sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your Blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And have made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Enoch became the first man to be called among the twenty-four elders to come up to God there and hear His Word.

So Holy Beings of Heaven are distinguished by their credentials of Standing or Beholding the Face of God round the clock. For instance, when Gabriel the archangel struck a priest of God with dumbness for questioning his gospel in doubt, Gabriel said "I am Gabriel who stands in the Presence of God" (Luke 1:19). That revealed he was one of the highest ranking Angels in all degrees including Holiness. Other lower angels would have been more severely punished if they had done what Zachariah did. And the Lord Jesus also gave us hint of the grade of Angels that were assigned little children who are still virgins and innocent. Because those little children are still pure, virgins and innocent, their assigned Angels are therefore among the Most Holy Angels, those Angels who can look at the Face of God: for not all angels of heaven can see the face of God because of their lower level of holiness. As it is written,

[Matthew 18:10] — "See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven."

So the more little children are getting corrupted and depleting in holiness and innocence, the more lesser angels replace the more holier and greater angels in assignments to them. Therefore these are faithful sayings about seeing God:

[Hebrews 12:14] "..Without holiness, no eye shall see God"

[Matthew 5:8] — "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."

You know the Cherubim, Rabim or Seraphim, are practically every where the Throne of God is. They rank among the highest in Holiness. Infact, wherever you see them, just know the Throne of God is there: for they are His Excorts and Drivers of the Wheels that drive His Throne.

Now let's go down to the lower or lesser Holy ones.

* Some Remain in God's Presence and behold His Face, but they do not go wherever God on His Throne goes

* Some Remain in Heaven after presenting themselves before God in fellowship gathering, but they do not Remain in God's Presence and behold His Face because their low Holiness level

* Some Present themselves in God's Presence during fellowship gathering/assembly, but they do not remain in heaven afterwards such as Satan in "Job 1"

* Some have defiled themselves with women in fornication, and so they can never enter heaven let alone present themselves before God because all their holiness is gone, and they are not even fit to walk freely on earth such as the fallen angels that had sex with women. Fornication is most defiling sin against holiness/sanctification.

* As wicked and evil as Satan is, he's still holier than the fallen angels that had sex with women in their bodies.

* There's a "Son of Perdition" AKA "Antichrist" who though he's a son of perdition or already judged to be cast into the lake of fire, yet he enjoys some levels of freedom that the fallen angels do not have because though Antichrist is opposed to God and Blasphemous to God, ready to fight God without any iota of respect or regards for God or Jesus Christ, so that any one who just accepts his name as mark is automatically beyond the ability of the cross of Jesus to save such a one, yet Antichrist is not a fornicator like the fallen angels because he had no desire for women. As it is written,

[Daniel 11:37] — "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all."

Therefore,

[1 Corinthians 6:18] — "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body."


This is the Will of God for you:

[1 Thessalonians 4:3] — "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication:"
