5. Can I see An Angel?

6. What's their role at the end of the world.

Let's start immediately.


1. Arch Angels.

The highest rank of Angels are called Arch Angels.

There were 3 Arch Angels before. The third one misbehaved and was cast down to the earth.
Now, they are two.

The two Arch angels are Gabriel and Michael.

The third was Lucifer who is now Satan.

Lucifer was more powerful and attend directly to God more than Gabriel and Michael.

Lucifer was so close to God. He walked in the midst of the fire of God.

He was created for worship.Very Beautiful and full of splendor.

If he flaps his wings, musical instruments and wonderful songs of praise to the Almighty emerge.

Until He proposed to Lift his throne above God's.

And There was war in heaven. He was defeated and he took one- third of the Angels with him.

These are called demons.

Lucifer said, I will exault my throne above the stars of God

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Lucifer coveted a position above the stars of God and iniquity was found in his heart. A reasonable fellow could have tendered for apology, but he took it personal until rebellion, until he was cast out and his follower

and Jesus in Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Lucifer was a Cherub (Singular of Cherubims. A classification we shall deal with later)

Precious stones were his coverings. Sardius, topaz, diamond, Beryl, Sapphire, emerald, and Gold.

He was created for the service of the Most High God.

He walked in the midst of fire of God. Ordinary Angels could not come this close.

Only the Cherubims.

Michael could be sent on errands. Gabriel also.

Lucifer did not leave the presence of God.

It's a pity.

Now, who are the Cherubims?

They cover the throne of the most High God!!!

Wings of Extreme Height and width

They have four wings. Two wings are stretched upwards.

The remaining two are used to cover their bodies

They have four faces. Beautiful to behold.

They have the face of a man, ox, Lion and an eagle.
Re: Angels: What Do They Look Like? Do They Have Power? by Originakalokalo(m): 8:34am On Oct 20, 2017
They were created to stand in the presence of the Most High God.

So, Splendor and Glory is all about their bodies.

Two Cherubims face each other with the throne of God in between.

Their massive wings are used to cover this throne.

The Almighty God is seated between these Cherubims.


They are surrounded by flashing lightning and brilliant light.

Their legs are straight; their feet are like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze.

under their wings on their four sides they had human hands.

When they moved in groups, their wings touch each other's wing. They move in a straight line.

. Fire moved back and forth round about them.

, and lightning flashed out of this fire.

They speed back and forth like flashes of lightning. Whenever they moved.

They have a wheel of fire. Precious stones, etc. Each one of them. The Spirit of the Cherubims is the wheels.


When the cherubims move, the sound of their wings is like the roar of rushing waters,

and like the sound of an army. When they stand still, they lowered their wings.
Re: Angels: What Do They Look Like? Do They Have Power? by Originakalokalo(m): 8:45am On Oct 20, 2017
Now, Let's describe the Seraphims.


Seraphims have six wings unlike the

Cherubims that have four.

Two wings cover their faces.

Two cover their feet

The remaining two they use to fly.

They are associated with the Glory of God.


That's why their faces are covered with their wings.

That is why their feet are covered too.

So that the can stand his glory and be able to approach it.

Remember that Moses was asked to remove his sandals?

Because the place was a holy ground? (I guess the Glory of God was in that place. That's why the bush could burn in fire and not destroyed)

Seraphims cover their feet too.

Because of the Glory of the Ancient of Days.


What A mighty God we serve

Heaven and Earth adore him

Angels bow before him

What a mighty God we serve.

We are done describing them. Cherubims and Seraphim's.

Other Angels are not with these description.

They have their wings, massive, and are extremely Numerous.

Without number. These class do not go near the throne of God.

Only the Cherubims and Seraphims.

Michael and Gabriel are either seraphims or Cherubims.


Recall that

Gabriel told Zechariah that he stands in the presence of God.

Let's look at what they do and their powers.

Do you know that Lucifer initially didn't want to disobey God? Do you know that Leviathan was partly responsible for his action?

What they do:

Michael is an Arch Angel in charge of warfare.


In the book of Daniel,...we have this:

But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo,

Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

He had to come for the Prince of Persia to step aside

Prince of Persia was a demon in charge of the Persian reign.

I mentioned this in my thread on Principalities and Powers.

Michael, the angel of warfare had to show up for that demon to step aside.
Re: Angels: What Do They Look Like? Do They Have Power? by Originakalokalo(m): 6:41pm On Oct 20, 2017
The Devil was fighting for the soul of Moses After death. Michael was there to collect his soul.

.(This is in tune with what Jesus said that after death, Angels come for the soul of a child of God.)

Michael did not fight him

He Rather said....The Lord rebuke thee.


That is Hierarchy.

He had to call the Lord.


Humans however can use the name of Jesus.

He will flee at the mention of the.name.

Michael is the Capital of the Host of the Lord.

Host means innumerable Angels.

No sir.

Teach me.
The original rebellion was initiated by two angels of Lucifer called Belial and Leviathan. The two angels told Lucifer that he should be like God. The question Lucifer why should he work for God? And that he should be running things in the universe instead of taking orders from Yahweh. At first Lucifer declined. He refused to rebel against Yahweh. The lord casted those angels into hell for counseling rebillion,. This made Lucifer upset with God because they were his two closest friends. He told Yahweh that if he punished his friends he rather remain king in hell than to continue to be servant in heaven. Lucifer then left heaven on his own( at that time he wasn't casted yet) and went to hell to be with his friends. However, when he got there he didn't like the place at all. When he got there he realized that he had made a mistake rather than seeking for repentance and mercy he decided to fight Yahweh. Lucifer was able to convince 1/3 of the trillions of angels by appealing to them that Yahweh's government was unjust and dishonest. He told them that he would establish a better and more equitable government. He promised the angels greater positions of authority in the universe. Interesting Yahweh didn't interfer in what he plotted.he allowed them just as he gives moral beings the choice to choose. The battle started and there was war in heaven. The one third of angels fought together with Lucifer, Leviathan and Belial. They lost the battle and were thrown down to the earth.

No one was responsible for what Lucifer decided to do...

Amazing how it wasn't enough for Lucifer (aka Satan) to hold the highest angelic position ...he was right underneath the Godhead.
He wanted to be God the Father.
Reminds me of us humans.....always striving for the top position when everyone doesn't need to be be in certain positions.
Question is: how did sin arise in the heart of an angel ...in a perfect place?
That's what is called the "mystery of iniquity".
That's not something we will know until we make it to the kingdom.

Bro....you reading directly from that book called battle for planet earth. I know cause I've read it. And also like u bro, I initially thought that oat was true...but it really isn't. The prince of darkness imitated the rebellion from all we know. Because Jesus said.....hell was created for the devil and his angels not Leviathan and co.....which the book says entered hell first.
Well done sir

This is not scriptural sir.

The. Origin of Evil is simply the devil.

When he fell, he just became anti-God.

He does/ preach the opposite of what God wants.


That becomes evil.

He torments human simply bcoz we are God's
