7 Interesting Facts About Angels

1. There are too many angels to be counted.

3. Cherubim are the highest order of angels.

They were the protectors of the holiness of God. They always appear surrounding God’s presence. They protect His holiness, and they are sometimes seen proclaiming His grace. They are incredibly magnificent beings. Gabriel, Michael, and Lucifer are the 3 named cherubim in scripture.

  • Cherubim are mentioned in several places throughout Scripture: They guarded the entrance to the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24).

  • God is enthroned above them (Ezekiel 10:1–22).

  • God rides on them (Psalm 18:10)

  • Two golden figures of cherubim sit above the Ark of the Covenant, where God promised to dwell among his people (Exodus 25:22, see also verses 18–21).


4. Seraphim are another class of angels.


 

They are described as each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and they used the remaining two to fly.

5. Angels never die.

They are immortal and they never die. They will live forever; from the moment of their creation on, they will live. But unless you’re uninitiated in terms of understanding this, that’s true also of men, isn’t it? So it wouldn’t be any problem. We will live forever as well, either with God or without Him.

 

6. Angels are not to be worshipped

In the book of Revelation, an angel warns John not to worship him: “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God” (Revelation 19:10).
