Back in 1997 I had a vision while awake. I'm positive that what I saw were Seraphims, for each being had six wings, four of which were coiling. I didn't see what the wings were attached to because of the clouds and mist. This vision came to me two days after my brother died. There appears to be a message attached to the vision.
I am an author and I've decided that I would try to write about the vision. It's time, but I'm still searching for answers that I may never find.

Welcome to CC. Your OP is more appropriate for the Bible forum, since it asks about seraphim. I have asked a mod to move it there for you. :) It will also get more coverage there, since not many people come into the new users forum.

Hi Victoria , I am new here as well and this is my first post. I read a very very good book called the mirror of simple souls by a Christian mystic named Marguerite porete who described the seraphim well . It is endorsed by my favorite pastor Rolland Baker, grandson of HA Baker who wrote visions beyond the veil, Rolland and Heidi Baker run IRIS ministries out of Mozambique.

(This is from memory and her prose is certainly much better and might in fact be different all together ) She describes the seraphim as having six wings, two to fly . Two to cover their faces for they cannot gaze upon the glory of The Lord Jesus for it is too great compared to theirs (hmm this seems a bit weirdly worded but I know she made a lot of sense )
Two wings cover their feet for their suffering is nothing compared to the suffering of Jesus (this part seems much more along the lines of what she wrote)

Anyways! I hope that helps you!
It is my prayer that your writing be a blessing for those who read it, and that it would bring glory to God. I know that 1 co 8:1 says knowledge builds arrogance but love edifies. I pray the knowledge and revelation you receive and impart would always be rooted in love and edification :) that your words would be as hugs and kisses on paper read to bring joy and strength and courage to those who read your works!

Have a wonderful blessed day in The Lord !

The Seraphim, by what I've read is the angels closest to God. They are the only ones mentioned with six wings. Isaiah is the one who saw them in the Bible.

Hello, Victoria. I'm also a new user here. I've never heard of Seraphims so I am going to Google them and see what comes up.

Seraphim is a designation used in Isaiah 6:1-12 to describe the same beings referred to as Cherubim in Ezekiel chapter 1 & 10 and as the four living beings described in the book of Revelation. The only differences are that those described by Isaiah and John have six wings, where Ezekiel records four. Ezekiel mentions them as each having for faces like that of a human, a lion, an eagle and an ox, where John describes them as being the same, but doesn't mention that each has four faces. They are the same four living beings that call out each horse as the Lord is opening the first four seals in Revelation.

These four living beings, cherubim, Seraphim's, seem to be a unique class of angelic beings and unlike the rest of the angels, they are the only ones mentioned as having wings. They appear often throughout the book of Revelation and are described in great detail in Ezekiel 1 &10. Each one of them has what is called a "Whirling wheel" which sits beside them and which the spirit of the beings resides in. Other characteristics are that, they are completely covered with eyes all over their bodies. When they move, the don't turn in the direction that they are moving in, but go straight ahead. I believe this is because since they have four faces, they don't need to turn, because there is face facing in each direction that they would go.

In both Isaiah and Revelation, they are recorded as continuously saying, "Holy, holy, holy" before the throne of God.

Thank you. These spiritual beings didn't turn. They moved with the clouds. I never saw the back of them, only the front. Yes two moved to the side of me, but I still only seen their front. There was many clouds and mist that hid everything except their wings. I felt they were looking at me, but I didn't see no eyes, only wings. I also felt like I was part of them, like we all had some kind of conection. I could hear the, see them, understand them, and what I didn't see I knew was there. The vision was like a canopy around me, yet I could still see part of my surroundings outside the vision. Like another dimension.

Welcome to Christian Chat, VictoriaLS.

Your experience reminds me of what happened just before my mother died. I dreamt that she and I were in the front of the sanctuary of the old church she belonged to. Several people were standing around in the back of the sanctuary. I had the feeling that one of them was an aunt I had who had died a number of years ago, and the others were other people eager to welcome Mother into the next life. Perhaps your experience was of a similar nature.

My brother died two days before the vision. I was very much awake during the vision, standing in my kitchen/frontroom area. Although, it sounds like you had a dream vision that was a premonition. God speaks to us through dreams.

I don't know if it makes a difference whether or not I was asleep or awake. I'll never know if I had a vision or if I placed my own interpretation on a simple dream. It's just something that's interesting to think about.
