Holy Angels

Angels who have not fallen and are still righteous in the eyes of God.

Order of Angels:
There are nine orders of angels, each one obtains a name corresponding to the property in God which it exhibits [3].


 * 1) Highest Order (Immediately in the presence of God - allowed near him).
 * 2) Seraphim: Caretakers of God's throne - primarily function is praise through love and passion.
 * 3) Cherubim: Illumination through wisdom.
 * 4) Thrones: Continuity and purification.
 * 5) Middle Order: Mostly working as heavenly governors and enforcers
 * 6) Dominations: The rulers of the upper heavens
 * 7) Virtues: Heroes that have risen in the ranks of angels and serve as role models.
 * 8) Powers: Warriors leading God's army and the divine beings within.
 * 9) Lowest Order
 * 10) Principalities: Guide and manage the spiritual aspects of Earth and the planets in the Mortal Realm.
 * 11) Archangels: Messengers and primary moving leaders that carry the grunt of guiding the lower angels and harder tasks of heaven and earth. These are the most recognizable to humans because of their role as the bridge between humans and angels. Unlike archangels, most leader angels in the upper two orders give orders rather than acting.
 * 12) Angels: the rest of the angels here serve those above as lesser messengers, builders, and workers in heaven, some are also personal guardian angels on Earth and other planets [2.2].

Note: The Highest Order (or upper sphere) of angels are the most difficult to understand, thus we elaborate here: They are the most perfect and reflect the transcendent natures of God. It is impossible to tempt or corrupt these angels and they do not visit Earth, staying in or near the presence of God. These angels do not talk with tainted or fallen spirits (angel or human). They each have a function in the purification of Souls after Judgement for humans that are deemed righteous after their time in the In-Between. The same purification is performed for angels rising ranks (Angelic Promotion), and those who are immediately deemed righteous upon arrival to Heaven. The lower ranks of the Celestial Beings receive the understanding of the divine works from those above them in a fitting manner, and that the highest are correspondingly enlightened in the Divine Mysteries by the Most High God Himself [3].
