Jewish literature divides angels into five grades: one is Aich Angels; ; The second is an angel standing before God. The third is the angel in service; The fourth is a sanctified angel; Fifthly, the classification method of angels in day order system, which is also the most widely accepted classification method at present: the last three levels-Seraphim, the blazing angel of God, Cherbim, the angel of wisdom, anim-, the third level-dominate the angel territory, angel virtue of power, angel principality of power-spirit, archangel and angel are obvious, and the three-level and nine-level system embodies the trinity of God, son and spirit. However, in Jewish documents and the Dead Sea scrolls, there is no Christian doctrine including "Trinity" (and there is no such thing as incarnation), so the emergence of the three-level and nine-level system will never be earlier than the emergence of Christian doctrines such as "Trinity". The classification of angels in the Bible
Angel nine orders: upper three orders:
Sarah finis (Serafin, Serafin): The blazing angel, Serafin. Lucifer: Lucifer, former archangel, shining morning star, post-depravity. Satan: Satan, the fallen devil. The Bible doesn't seem to explicitly mention Satan as Lucifer. According to the Bible, Satan was originally the tallest archangel among angels, and later led a third of the angels in the sky to mutiny, and was defeated by "misfortune" and fell into a bottomless pit of eternal robbery. In the abyss, all the angels who followed him became ugly images. It is said that only Lucifer still retains the glorious image of Seraphim, but there is no obvious record in the Bible that Satan is Lucifer. Chapter 12 of Revelation (Revelation Chapter 12) describes the war between Lucifer and heaven, but does not mention the name Satan. All kinds of controversies and confused statements later on are mostly related to later literary creators. Dante used the titles of Lucifer, Satan, Devil and Dis to address this guy in The Divine Comedy. In the Diablo by Ichigo Akihara, Satan, Lucifer and Beelzebub are different. Michael: Michael, one of the original seven archangels, later led the heavenly army to fight Satan and was promoted to be a blazing angel. His position is archangel, and he was originally archangel order. Cherubim: an angel of wisdom, responsible for guarding the Garden of Eden. Gabriel: Gabriel, one of the original seven archangels, was originally an angelic order. Uriel: uriel, one of the original seven archangels.
Raphael: Lafayette, one of the original seven archangels, was originally a powerful order of angels. Throni: Angel. The third rank (throne): Dominion: archangel (theocracy). Angels on the earth are all under their jurisdiction, carrying out the tasks entrusted by God. Virtue: the miracle of the angel of power (sacred virtue), when Jesus ascended to heaven, he appeared beside him. Podesta (power, power): angel of power (divine power). Attack force, the main force of the Angel Corps. Reduce by three levels:
Principautes (principilities): the prince of power. The defense forces that guard heaven. Archangel: Archangel. Responsible for the communication between God and people.
Lei Mier: One of the Seven Angels, the God beast, later fell.
Ai Lier: The lion of God, after the fall.
Ariok: God's lion, and then fell down.
Sariel: One of the Seven Angels.
Lazur: One of the Seven Angels. Angel: Angel, always guardian angel. Chang Jiu has been here for a long time, and the names and arrangement of the seven ambassadors have been very confusing. This should be a more authoritative statement:
Enoch I (Ethical enoch) (the earliest document)
1. uriel, uriel
2. Raphael
3. Raquel La Gouel (Ruhir, Ruargyle, RuAcher) (= Lagir, rasul, RuFael, Suryan, Accra Hill, Laguerre, Lagir).
4. Michael Michael
5. Sarah Kael, Sera
6.gabriel
7. Lei Mier's hierarchy of angels: Angels are spiritual creatures born to serve the high-dimensional God, or help God punish those who violate the Oracle, so that God's will can be obeyed. In other words, angels are like God's terminal on the earth, so angels often appear with wings and shining posture, but sometimes they also appear in armed form. In temples or mazes, there are often records of angels appearing. In the records, angels are mostly wandering souls, that is to say, there are very few examples of angels appearing as entities.
Angels appear in armor because they harden their bodies to protect themselves or change into other shapes when facing the battle, so the shields or weapons they carry are all transformed from their own parts. The blazing angel is six wings and four wisdom angels are four wings and four songs. Others seem to have only two wings.
Detailed introduction:
Senior angel: blazing angel, wisdom angel, seat angel, intermediate angel: main angel, powerful angel, secondary angel: powerful angel, archangel, ordinary angel.
Blazing angel:
Seraphim, the highest messenger of God, seldom does any work, but his only mission is to praise God. Serafin, the closest messenger of God, stands for "burning" and "snake" in Hebrew. In ancient times, Seraphim was described as an organism flying in heaven, just like a god. In Judaism and Christianity, Seraphim is a role of direct communication with God, and a spiritual body with only light and thinking. It has great dignity and reputation among angels and is called "the spirit of love and imagination". The blazing angel is invisible, lifeless, and creates life through its vibration. If you have to appear in front of people, appear in the form of six wings and four songs. Both Judaism and Christianity describe it as a flag with six wings, holding a sacred fan (Flabellum, burning dagger) engraved with the praise of Sanctus (Hebrew for Trisagion).
The ancients described it as an elf with peacock feathers in their creation. The Hebrew of the blazing angel is a combination of the words "healer" and "supreme" (or guardian angel), so snakes or dragons have been representatives of medicine since ancient times (some hospitals or military doctors use two snakes wrapped around sticks as symbols).
Angel of Wisdom: Guardian of the Garden of Eden, etymologically "arbiter" or "knowledge". In Judaism and Christianity, it is believed that after expelling Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, he was sent to the east of the Garden of Eden by God, holding a rotating sword of fire to protect the tree of life. The angel of wisdom is the first angel in the Bible, and is listed as the second tallest angel in the theory of heaven rank. In fact, the angel of wisdom may be based on the legend of Babylon, or the legend of the fertile crescent moon in the Middle East long before the founding of the Hebrew nation and Babylonians, because an ancient Sumerian word Kalibu, which is very similar to the cherubim, refers to the guardian at the entrance of the Babylonian temple-Ka: a growling expression (often in the shape of a vulture); Li: winged guardian; Bu: Feng Rui's gun and sword. Kalib-shaped gods are common all over the Middle East. It is said that in most legends, they are the guardians of an eternal tree. In the religion of ancient Egypt, it also means to serve in the moonlight. In an earlier version of Hebrew legend, "an angel of wisdom has four wings and four faces, carries the throne of God and drives the chariot of God". Even in the medieval work Paradise Lost, this statement is still adopted, saying that the chariot of God is driven by an angel with four faces, including the elder, the hind eagle, the left lion and the right ox. The angel of wisdom is the guardian of sacred objects. There are two things recorded in the Bible: the tree of life in the Garden of Eden and the ark of God. Compared with blazing angels, they praise the holiness of God and send out the vibration of love and fire. The angel of wisdom sends out the vibration of knowledge and wisdom. In many baroque buildings, winged angels engraved with spheres are the shapes set for intelligent angels since the Middle Ages, but the reasons for their formation are difficult to verify. Interestingly, the image of Cupid, a young man with wings in Roman mythology, was recognized by Christianity as the anthropomorphic appearance of an angel of wisdom.
Archangel: An archangel of Anim, the throne, or Galen. Blazing angels and intelligent angels should be the innermost angels in the regular angel system, and they are immaterial. However, after years of legends, they have all been materialized. If Chi and Zhi Angels maintain their pure spiritual existence, then the archangels on the third or fourth day should be the interface between the material world and the kingdom of God, and the foundation and source of the material world. Judaism seems to think that all the ancestors of the Hebrews became angels after they ascended to heaven. Christianity does not accept this statement. However, in private, the dominator of archangels, or the concrete incarnation in front of Yunren, is the archangel Yafujie. Raphael said directly because the descriptions in the Bible are different, including blazing angels, intelligent angels and archangels, and many places are confused. However, after Ezekiel described the "four living creatures" in chapter 1- 14, theologians regarded them as angels of wisdom, but "seeing four wheels" in sections 15 and 25 is a description of archangels. In order to avoid confusion, post-theologians and scholars define the wisdom angel as "the throne of God" and the angel is "the chariot of God", that is, the car of God. Ofanim is a chariot, and Galgal means wheel, eyes, etc. in Hebrew. Therefore, the archangel is the wheel of a god with a hundred eyes and a pale color. Ezekiel describes the four wheels as follows: "... one wheel is on the ground beside the face of the living creature. The wheel is shaped and colored like beryl. The four wheels are the same style, shape and practice, just like one wheel in a wheel. ..... There are eyes around the four rims. The walking wheel of the living creature also walks beside it. When the living creatures get up from the ground, the wheels also get up from the ground. Where the spirit goes, the living thing goes ... because the spirit of the living thing is in the wheel. " Among them, the spirit should refer to God, and the living creature is an angel of wisdom.
Archangel):Angel, which means "ruling" and "leading" in English, is nicknamed "Lordship", and "theological director" refers to his position as "managing the work of angels". I love the universe ruled by God very much and show God's fame to the world by carrying out God's commands. I am the ruler of this angel order, such as Sadok Kiel, the angel of memory.
Angel of power: Hebrew "Mala-kim" or "Talshishism", meaning "noble". It is a miracle performer, a close friend of heroes and persistent people, and is called a "brilliant person". When Christ ascended to heaven and Eve gave birth to her eldest son Cain, it was also said that there were two powerful angels (midwives) each. Persian angel Ai Xia and Egyptian angel Piri are also called angels of strength, because they are both blessed by God and work miracles. The angel of power is the controller of nature under the gods. Angel of strength is an angel who gives people courage and removes all obstacles for those who make unremitting efforts. In addition, the Force Angels have jurisdiction over some natural phenomena and the energy of the planetary world. The most direct influence on people is to be able to telepathize with people all over the world and connect the consciousness of the whole world with the power of mind. When you want to show your consciousness to others, you must know what people need at any time through the power of the angel of power and this contact network. Omnipotent angel: Omnipotent angel, Deunamis, Potentiaties, alias authority, is said to be the first angels created by God, and is the pioneer of heaven against demons. Chapter 13 of the epistle to Rome in the New Testament: Paul's sermon may be about the Almighty Angel. Angels of this level are stationed in the dangerous zone between the first and second day of junior high school, and undertake the task of defending the kingdom of heaven (celestial border guards), guarding against the invasion of demons, or protecting the balance of people's hearts. But the angel of power has frequent contact with the dark forces, so there are also some degenerates. However, the fallen almighty angel, perhaps its real purpose is to reconcile God with the devil.
Power angel: Power angel can be said to be the only angel whose duty is "Princedoms". Divide its sphere of influence according to secular countries, cities and religious groups. So many right angels are transformed from foreign gods, and Nislock (the vulture-headed god of Assyria) is a famous warrior among the right angels in heaven. Paradise Lost describes that the angel of power directly leads the angel army against the devil army. As the angel of the seventh order, it has obvious personification symbol. The so-called "monitor guided by human beings is determined to carry out God's justice". As the leader of the legion, the angel of power is almost always the image of a fully armed soldier. Archangel: Among all the professions and names of angels, the most resounding one is Archangel. Many people who have no idea about western religion know one or two archangels. It is clearly stated in Revelation that "there are seven angels standing before the throne of God", which is generally interpreted as seven archangels (Islam only recognizes four archangels). As for why he is obviously a junior angel, but he has such a lofty position in the angel corps, and even holds the monarch of several senior angels, we can only say that the division of nine levels does not represent the level of status or importance. Or maybe each class is just divided into positions. If an angel has multiple positions, he has multiple identities. Judaism and Christianity mostly agree with the theory of the Seven Angels. Because the eighth chapter of Revelation in the New Testament clearly points out that the seven archangels stand before God, Christianity agrees with the theory of the seven archangels, while Islam only recognizes the theory of the four archangels. Whether it is four or seven, the names are actually not very sure.
General Angel: angel, from Greek angelos= = emissary. Angels are "messengers" in Hebrew, "messengers" in Persian and "messengers" in Greek. The names and duties of angels are recorded in the Book of Enoch in the most detailed way. However, even in the13rd century, when angelology flourished, the complete book of Enoch was never seen. It was not until the18th century that the original version of Enoch was discovered in the Syrian church.
Because there are too many angels in this order, such as guarding a country, a tree, a guardian or even a person's body, relatively speaking, the popularity of individual angels is far less than that of archangels, and it is impossible for individual angels to prove that they belong to the bright camp or the dark camp. In Judaism, Islam and Christianity, the concept of angels is very similar, but the total number of angels is different, ranging from dozens to hundreds (guarding seven planets, four seasons, twelve months, seven days a week, time of day, etc.). ) to 30 1, 655,722 (including133,306,668).
