Angels:
Angels are part of nearly every
religion's belief system. Most of our understanding of the Angels comes to us
as revealed by the Jewish religion. Gabriel is considered to be the number one
followed by Michael and Raphael. The next level of Angels is the type known as
the ministering Angels which we know as the cherubim
and the seraphim and their function is to help God administer the universe. The
seraphim have three sets of wings who guard God's
throne. They are so called the word mean burning and their devotion to God is so great as it is a burning love. The cherubim are Angels
with human or animal characteristics and their function is to guard sacred
places and continually to praise God.
