My studied point to that not all angels are equal, there are three separate orders.
1. Cherubim, or archangel are the highest and most powerful. They surround God’s throne, have six wigs, four faces, and are quite large. (Rev. 4:7, Ezekiel 1:10) They have a man’s face, a lion’s face, a bull’s face, and an eagle’s face. They are covered with eyes. The bible speaks of Michael the warrior for God, Gabriel the redeemer of God, and the two who fell: the angel called Lucifer who was the angel of light and Abaddon called the ‘Angel of Death. Ezekiel 28:13-19.
Raphael Healer of God and Uriel Light of God are spoken of in extra-biblical writings. All the names end in “el” a Hebrew word meaning God.
One third of the original six rebelled, as one third of all angels rebelled.
2, Seraphim or Burning Ones are the middle order. They are the messengers of God racing back and forth between heaven and earth doing His will. In Revelation 8:7 they are spoken of as fire raining down on the earth. Ancient Hebrew telling of Jacob seeing angels going back and forth to heaven suggests it was Seraphim he saw.
3. Teraphim. KJV Danie 4:17 they are spoken of as watchers. In that passage in the NIV translation they are called messengers. They are our guardian angels.
Paul tells us that we may see them as they are able to take on human form, for we are advised to be kind to strangers, they may be angels.
Scripture gives the images heathen magicians use for magic a word translated as teraphim. When Rachel took the household idols, (Gen. 31:34) the original Hebrew suggests the spirits behind them were fallen Teraphim.
