The Holy Angels

What are angels? This question can even be extended to the fallen angels in their composition make-up of the material they are created from. Spirit-matter is composed of energy and a form of matter that none of us on this planet are familiar with. Holy Angels have assisted in performing God's Will since Biblical times and it still continues to this day.

Hebrews 1:7. This Scripture tells us what angels are. It also makes it known that angels are each a direct creation. They are given birth in Heaven. This is the true home of all angels; and it's one of the reasons Satan and his angels put up a fight to remain there. They lost, but it is still looked upon as home, even by the fallen angels.

Luke 24:39. Flesh and bones are not part of their physical makeup.

Matthew 18:10.
Whose face in Heaven do the angels always behold?

Although not all Holy angelic classifications are listed in the Holy Scriptures, some are found there. The complete list is contained at the Great Hall of Records.

Jude 9 makes mention of the Archangel, Michael. His very title signifies that he arches out over all Holy Angelic Orders.

Isaiah 6:2. The Seraphs are just below the Archangel and second from the top in rank. They are endowed with the most sets of wings.

Genesis 3:24 cites the Cherubic Order at the time it was stationed on this planet. The Creator chose that Order because it was the one that Satan had belonged to.

Revelations 5:11. Daniel 7:9, 16. The number of Holy Angels that did not rebel against the Creator are given in the myriads and thousands. Only one-third eventually followed Satan in his rebellion against Sovereign Law.

Hebrews 12:22. In Heaven there is a "Mount Zion" and a heavenly city named Jerusalem. There, the Seraphs are garrisoned.

Job 38:4, 7. In this Scripture the angels are compared to "morning stars" and gives insight as to their having existed before the creation of the Earth.

Mark 12:25. This Scripture explains that those that pass over to the other side are composed of the same spirit-matter that angels are. They are spirits; that's why I often refer to ghosts and angels as being spirits. The term applies to both.

2 Peter 2:11. Holy Angels are greater in strength and power because they still possess all of the powers given them; whereas Satan and his angels have been stripped of most of their powers. This Scripture also gives insight as to the respect shown by the Holy Angels toward their Creator.

Hebrews 2:6, 7. Psalms 8:4, 5. Reveals that Mankind is below the rank of the Holy Angels in physical make-up, yet our Creator cares just as much about all of us as he does his heavenly angels.

Psalms 103:20 The Holy Angels are subject to the Creator. They are mighty in power; they carry out His Word. They listen to His voice.

Psalms 148:2. The Holy Angels praise their Father. All Orders combined - they are His army for righteousness and the upholding of His Sovereign Laws.

1 Peter 3:22. Hebrews 1:6. Jesus Christ is the Commander and Chief of the combined Holy Angelic army.

Revelations 22:8, 9. Colossians 2:18. No angel is to be worshiped. They are fellow slaves of Christ.

Holy Angels can appear visible to humans. Luke 1:5, 11. Luke 1: 26-28. Luke 2:8, 9, 13. Judges 13:2, 3. Revelations 1:1.

The Holy Angels uphold the Creator's throne and His Sovereignity. Psalms 99:1. Isaiah 6:2, 3. Genesis 3:17, 24. The fact that 2 Kings 19:15 also cites that He is sitting upon the Cherubs reveals the part that they play in the War, and the assuredness that they are backed by the Creator in the fight for Righteous Rule. Ezekiel Chapter 10 gives more insight about the Cherubs.

Holy Angels represented the Creator and spoke in his name. Exodus 3:1-6. Acts 7:30-35. Moses also acted as a messenger of the Creator to the Egyptians (giving warnings) as well as to the Israelites (promising help from the Creator). Acts 7:53. Judges 6:12-22.

More Holy Angels as messengers: Genesis 22:11-17. Acts 7:37, 38. Judges 2:1, 2. 2 Kings 1:3. Matthew 2:13.

The Holy Angels perform services on behalf of the Creator's earthly servants. Psalms 34:7. Acts 12:6-11. Daniel 6:16-22. Hebrews 1:7, 14. Matthew 18:10. Matthew 4:11. Luke 22:43. Revelations 7:2, 3. Genesis 31:11, 12. Genesis 48:15, 16.

The Holy Angels acted as proxy of the Creator - directed and protected ancient Israel. Exodus 23:20-23. Exodus 14:19, 20. Exodus 33:2. 2 Kings 6:16, 17.

The preaching work is performed under angelic direction. Revelations 14:6-9. Matthew 24:31. Matthew 25:31, 32. Acts. 5:19-21. Acts 8:26-35. Acts 10:1-22. Acts 11:13, 14.

The Holy Angels are executioners of divine judgment. Matthew 13:41, 42. Genesis 19:12, 13. Psalms 78:42, 43, 49. 2 Kings 19:35. Acts 12:21-23. 2 Thessalonians 1:6-8. Revelations 20:1, 2.

The Holy Scriptures offers more insight on Holy Angels. But this will help to fit most of the pieces concerning them and their place in creation.

The Cherubic Order of Holy Angels

Disclaimer: The purpose of sharing this information is to dispel the myths that are out there in regards to the Cherubic Order of Holy Angels as well as to provide accurate truths to those visiting this site so that they may have a better understanding as to the Cherubic Order's history and the part they play in the Spiritual War. The worship of Angels is STRICTLY prohibited.

The photos of these Angels are viewable at www.chosen.weebly.com and they are a GIFT. Proof has been given for those who may be lacking in Faith and/or to cement the Faith of those who already believe in the Father and accept Christ as their Lord and Savior so that they may in turn, have a better chance of obtaining eternal life.

There are two sides to the Spiritual War that rages around us in an unseen realm.

Not only are there demons, there are angels as well. This article will serve to explain just one order of angels; the Cherubic Order. This is the order that protects me personally on a daily basis, and the order I have come to learn the most about. And, just to clear up any questions, it should also be said that while we ministers of the Light of Life Ministry worship ONLY Yahweh and His son, Jesus Christ, the Cherubic Order is always in the background watching over us and assisting us with our ministry as our benefactors.

Cherub (chr..b), plural cherubim, kind of angel. Cherubim were probably thought of in the ancient Middle East as composite creatures like the winged creatures of Assyria. In Jewish tradition, they are described (Ezek.10) as having four faces and four wings and also as beautiful young men; but late Christian art made plump children of them, as in Raphael's Sistine Madonna. With the seraphim they are said to be in the very presence of God. The color surrounding them is traditionally blue and they are mentioned no less than 90 times in the scriptures.

Traditionally, when someone mentions cherubs, people imagine them to be cute chubby "cupid like" little babies with wings that are depicted in so many paintings around the world. In actuality, they couldn't be more opposite; for the Cherubs are the "Warrior Angels" of the Heavens and the second-highest order, with the Seraphim being the highest order of angels. They are spoken of in the Bible no less than ninety times. In all, there so many orders of Holy Angels that to name them all would be an impossibility. In this article, I focus on those I have come to know best, through a personal relationship with angels of the Cherubic Order. It has been through this relationship that I have learned the following to be the truth behind the Cherubic Order, who they are and what they do.

In the beginning, God created the heavens. In between creating the heavens and the earth, he created the "Sons of God" also known as, the angels. What many people do not realize is that millions of years actually passed in between the heavens and the earth being created. So when it mentions in Job 38:7 "...all the sons of God shouted for joy" it was because they were there long before the earth was created.

The Cherubs were included in the makeup as part of the furnishings of the tabernacle set up in the wilderness during the time the Israelites were there. They were also used on the Ark of the Covenant, hammered in gold, facing each other. They were bowing to symbolize worship of the Creator. Each Cherub had two wings spread upward and were lapping over the cover top in a guarded protecting manner (Exodus 25:10-21 Exodus 37:7-9) In addition, the most inner coverings of the tent for the tabernacle and curtain that divided the Holy from the Most Holy had embroidered Cherub figures on it. (Exodus 26:1, 31. Exodus 36:8, 35)

At Ezekiel 10:14 their appearances are described as "Each one had four faces: the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle." (Holman Christian Standard Bible) The Cherubs depicted were not grotesque or monstrous winged creatures like pagan nations depicted demonic monstrosities. When Ezekiel was instructed to lift up a dirge concerning the King of Tyre, he calls that king a glorious covering cherub that once was in Eden, the Sacred Garden of Eden; stripped of his beauty and made as ashes upon the ground. That was God's future judgment for Satan, and it typified a like judgment for that King that thought himself a Cherub. (Ezekiel 28:11-19) Ezekiel also relates visions of the Cherubs in symbolic form. Ezekiel 1:5-28 as "living creatures." Then he later identified them as Cherubs. (Ezekiel 9:3. Ezekiel 10:1-22. Ezekiel 11:22)

Because most of what is written in the Bible is symbolic, this is where the inconsistencies and misinterpretations between religions arise. Their description in Ezekiel is not literal, but symbolic. In actuality, the Cherubs do not actually have four faces. The first symbolic face is that of a Cherub (Their angelic look), the second as a man (because they are son's of God), the third as a lion (because they are warriors) and the fourth of an eagle (because they see everything)." They are associated with the Creator's own attributes that he has spawn or injected into His creations.

Genesis 3:24 mentions their role as being guardians of the garden of Eden, saying "He drove man out, and east of the garden of Eden He stationed cherubim with a flaming, whirling sword to guard the way to the tree of life." (Holman Christian Standard Bible) This passage describes the first duty that was given to the Cherubic Order. They were the front line defenders of the garden of Eden. Since then they have had many duties, but this was their first assignment.

Satan himself was a Cherub, and he was the only Cherub to fall. His army of one-third of the heavenly hosts are made up of the lowest ranking order of angels. That rank was known in heaven as the "Celestial Order." Aside from being messengers for the Archangel and the other orders of angels, their job also encompassed the care and maintenance of the physical universes that exist throughout creation. For this purpose, they were created. But the Cherubic Order, like the Seraphic Order, were created for special duties assigned by the Creator.

The Cherubs became the front line defenders prior to the Global Flood brought upon this planet by the Creator. After Adam and Eve were forced out of the Garden of Eden, the Creator ordered the Cherubic Order of angels to guard entry to the garden, and a flaming blade of a sword which was continually turning was to guard the way to the "Tree of Life." The Cherubs could easily keep the human couple and their later offspring from entering the garden, but a stronger force was necessary in order to keep Satan away from the tree of life. If unhindered, he would have taken fruit from the tree and given it to Adam and Eve; so, the Creator made certain that did not happen.

As mankind grew in numbers on the Earth, Satan successfully tempted some of the Celestial Order of angels away from the Creator's Organization. They materialized on this planet and married human women. It was no secret that they had been angels. They told the people of the pre-flood days what secrets they knew of Heaven. The marriages between the angels and humans, as well as the guarded secrets of the Heavenly Court being divulged, did not please the Creator.

Noah and his family were righteous in the Supreme God's eyes...

They found favor with God; and as you well know, they were the only humans to survive the Great Flood. The waters of that flood not only drowned all living things that resided on previous dry ground, but it also took with them the secrets divulged by those fallen angels. In addition, the angels that materialized in human form, they were not of Mankind's "one flesh." Since Eve was taken from Adam, she too was from the same "one flesh" that Almighty God had created; but the fallen angels materialized a counterfeit flesh that did not represent his original creation, and the union between these counterfeit humans and the female offspring of Adam and Eve produced their own hybrid offspring. The fallen angels kept some of their superior attributes while taking fleshly form, and this produced the Nephilim sons that became "mighty ones." Something else that made them stronger and mightier was that they ate animal flesh, which was not on mankind's menu in that creative day and time. Mankind was only in its first thousand years, and it was soon to be wiped out, except for Noah and his family.

At this point the Cherubs received a new order from the Creator. Not only were they to guard the garden, but they were to now look after Noah and his family as well; for Noah was commissioned by Almighty God to preach to the human race. He was to warn of the coming flood; that they needed to follow his warning if they were to survive; namely, to board the Ark when told to do so. But he was also to preach a condemning message to the Nephilim and their wives, and the wives of the fallen angels, that the marriages were unholy unions; that the Nephilin were outcasts of Almighty God's creation, and they would all perish at the flood without chance of survival. The fallen angels that had taken on bodies of flesh were not part of that judgment. They simply dissolved the bodies and went back into the spirit realm. There, they were metted out judgment by the Creator for their part in further corrupting mankind. But Noah's message was very distressing to the Nephilim, their wives, as well as the fallen angels wives; so, it became necessary for the Cherubic Order of angels to provide front line protection to them during this preaching work and until the flood came and swept evil mankind away.

During those thousand years, countless tries attempted at gaining entry to the garden were thwarted. Many people, including angelic offspring died by the hand of the Cherubic Order of angels. Due to the flaming sword of the Creator, it was impossible for any of the fallen angels to raid the Tree of Life and retrieve the fruit for their wives; however, it should be noted that the fruit would not have benefited the Nephilim; they were not covered under the original covenant which mankind had with the Creator, since they (the Nephilim) were hybrids. But it would have benefited the fallen angels wives as well as the wives of the Nephilim. So, it was the Cherubic Order of angels that stood between them and the garden; and a holy flaming sword that protected the sacred tree.

In addition, the Cherubs were with Christ throughout his lifetime, guiding and supporting him in bringing the message of God to the masses. Today, those same Cherubs are frontline defenders here on Earth. They have not yet been released from that duty. Currently their roles have to do with the Spiritual War that is raging within the spirit realm. While Satan and his army fights to keep prophecy from occurring, the Cherubic Order works around the clock to ensure that it does. And, like they protected Noah and his family, they're doing the same thing today with all people that have faith in the Supreme Being - God, the Creator. For that reason, we should be very grateful to them.

The photos that you are viewing were taken of members of the Cherubic Order. They manifested in Ceremonial Armor and with their human looks. They are not perfect photos as one might expect. There is a massive amount of energy used to manifest and this energy is also evident in these photos.

The purpose of this blog is to spread the Cherubic Order's Messages to all of mankind in these End Times in preparation for the upcoming Rapture, Tribulation and Armageddon.

Heaven & Hell

I conducted a query of my own not to long ago, of people who have an interest in the paranormal. The replies I received were as interesting as they were unique to the individual.

The Question: I’m curious as to how those who believe in “Heaven” envision it. Is it a real place? If so, what does it look like? How big is it? Where does it exist? Can you leave Heaven once you get there? Why would ghosts hang around here when they can be there? How do you relate your belief or non-belief in Heaven to your interest in the Paranormal?

The Answers:

“Well since I’ve heard you can’t enter Heaven until Judgment Day, and that day hasn’t come yet, ghosts or spirits, or whatever you want to call them can do/go any thing/any place they want. As for what it looks like, maybe it’s whatever you idea of it is. Where it’s at ... I got no clue.”

“I know what the other side is like. At least what part of it my family perceives it to be. Every time I’m there, it’s beautiful and perfect. I imagine heaven to be the same place. The place that gives you more comfort than anywhere that you know. That it is perfect for all. It would be utopia. The place we all dream and strive to be at. I believe we all have different opinions about how to get there, but I think the message is the same all over. When the time is right we will ascend into heaven to be with our heavenly family, our ideal. It is different in different religions, but the message is always the same. We will join our heavenly families and friend, and be a whole new type of society. One of love and peace.”

“For years I went to church and was Christian, and for the most part just believed what I was told about heaven: streets of gold and jewels aplenty. Until recently, I didn’t think much of it. Then it hit me. That’s really not very appealing to me. Gold and jewelry? I can take it or leave it and to be surrounded by that 24/7 just isn’t that great. Then I remember back to the scriptures, it talks about a place called “Paradise” and the apostle Paul speaks of several different heavens, 7 layers I think. It never says that Paradise and Heaven are the same place. It was Jesus whom had spoken about Paradise to the thief on the cross beside him. I just wonder if heaven is different for each individual, what is appealing to some, may not be to others. Which may in fact, be the very reason we have some spirits amongst us. Their heaven is being able to watch over their loved ones and help out from the other side. Maybe this makes no sense, but I just don’t think that it’s as cut and dry as it’s made out to be. God created us to be creatures of free will, and by doing this He knows that that makes us vary in every way. I find it hard to believe that He would disregard that, having made us to be this way and then after our life as we know it is finished, just herd us all into a place together where some may not be so happy.”

“I wouldn’t consider myself a particularly religious person, but I believe in heaven. I believe that heaven is either whatever you want it to be and it’s a place where you are finally home and can see others that have passed before you. I also believe that all questions you have ever had will be answered. I believe that it is endless; it would have to be to encompass all those that have decided to cross over. I think that it is another realm; different from earth and that when someone does pass away they can go towards the light and cross over I think that those who do not are spirits or ghosts, if you will, who have unfinished business here on earth. Maybe they were not ready to leave or some did not know they passed away or what happened to them. I think that if you have crossed over, then you can leave and come back, such as to visit an old friend or family member that is still here that misses you and needs you because they are going through a significant life event-a birth, wedding, etc. My interest in the paranormal relates to this because, I’ve lost friends and had two miscarriages and I’ve had experiences that I believe to be paranormal and I’m looking for proof that those whom I have lost are still there and not just gone forever. I think that there is a heaven and I think that sometimes they come back.”

“I don’t know where Heaven might be at but the Bible does mention a third Heaven. But I believe that it is going to be so peaceful and beautiful. I think that the colors will be so vivid that it will make the colors here on earth look like shadows. I think that we will have jobs there and will love doing them as they will all be centered on worshiping and honoring God and Jesus. All hate and pain will be gone forever. That is how I picture it. Only love will survive.”

“Yes I believe in Heaven and I believe that it is whatever you want it to be and you can change what you want it to be also. I also believe that you can “cross over” back and forth whenever you wish. Have you ever had a dream of a loved one that has passed, or smell a familiar scent or just plain get the feeling that a passed one is near. I was very close to my mom and I truly believe that she visits in my dreams and sometimes just get the feeling of her touch. I think that some of the ghosts or spirits here are visiting and some are bound to earth by something that happened while alive.”

“Because I was raised Christian (united Methodist) I believe in Heaven. I believe in Purgatory although I’m still not sure about that completely. As for hell....I don’t want to believe in that...then again maybe that is purgatory. Waiting kills me....”

“I don’t really believe in heaven. I want my energy recycled when i die... that is after I figure out a way to prove my own existence.”

Socrates, the classical Greek Philosopher said, “Moreover, you must not wonder that those who attain this height are unwilling to descent to human affairs; for their souls are always hastening into the upper world where they desire to dwell…”

The English scientist Michael Faraday (1791-1867) is considered to have been one of the greatest experimental physicists. When Faraday was questioned on his speculations of a life after death, he replied: “Speculations? I know nothing about speculations. I’m resting on certainties. I know that my Redeemer lives, and because He lives, I shall live also.”

Edgar Cayce said, “You grow to Heaven. You don’t go to heaven.”

David Brandt Berg said, “It certainly seems like a good idea to talk about Heaven, meditate about Heaven and read about Heaven, because, after all, that’s where we’re going to spend eternity. It’s an important place – our eternal home. So it’s only natural to want to know what it’s like and what we’re going to be like when we get there.”

And finally, C.L. Allen said, “If we really understood Heaven, we would be most unhappy and unsatisfied with life on Earth. We would rebel against our earthly limitations. If we saw Heaven, we could not bear this earth. That’s why Heaven is forever: we cannot bear to leave it after we get there.”

While I truly agree with C.L. Allen, the fact of the matter is that the human mind simply cannot comprehend what Heaven, or the Spirit Realm, looks like because we are limited by our own realities.

The truth is that the Spirit Realm existed even before the physical or visible realm. Everything is layered on top of each other. When you are on the Astral Planes, you are in the Spirit Realm and it in its most simplistic terms, opposite of the visible realm. The scientific mind cannot grasp the invisible realm because they think in terms of human logic. However, the thing to remember is that a spirit is no longer human. They have excelled above flesh and blood. That’s why the Creator says they cannot come to fully know or understand how it works. They are stuck in a rut of simplistic human minds. What they seek to find out scientifically does not exist on a chart or scale that they can ever come to understand. It is beyond their comprehension, because compared to the spirits and their home in the Spirit Realm, those that are science minded are on the scale of a monkey. For example, can they understand spirit manifestations? They think it’s a trick of the mind, so how can they ever understand the Spirit Realm if they can’t even comprehend a simple thing like spirit manifestations?

The Spirit Realm (Heaven) is a plane of existence, with other planes interwoven within the Spirit Realm’s fabric. Even if you go to one of the upper planes, you are still on the primary plane of the Spirit Realm itself. In the Spirit Realm, the spirits refer to other planes as “Planes of Existence” but they are all connected to and a part of the Spirit Realm’s plane of existence. Here’s an example. If you roped and pulled the moon against the earth, it would still be a different place than the earth, but now it would also be part of it, simply because the two are now connected to each other. But, when you stepped onto the moon, you would be in a different place than the earth. Both are a part of the physical plane we all live within.

As far as what it looks like, you have to remember that everything in the Spirit Realm is also here in the Physical Realm. What is there, is here because it was there before here existed. The thing to remember is this; there are many on this earth may feel in their minds that they are above us average people in a level of intelligence. For instance, one example would be the scientific community. To them, intellect is the prime thing to have and boast their claims of “We are smarter than all of you. We can figure everything out with a slide rule.” In my line of work within the paranormal community, there are people who believe that the existence of spirits will only be proven when we can produce results on demand. They want everything to be explainable, predictable and measurable when that’s not what it’s meant to be or ever will be.

I asked a non-believer once, what would constitute enough proof for him to believe that a Spirit Realm exists. His reply in part was, “Only when humans can understand the Spirit Realm well enough to be able to manifest it on the spot under controlled conditions will it make a believer out of me.” That’s why Christ said he will bring the mighty asunder but the meek will inherit the Kingdom. A child can see the truth because their minds are unimpaired by years of believing they are more intelligent than the Creator or equal in understanding His wisdom.

And what about Hell? Is there really a Hell? Due to symbolism in the Scriptures, people often take it literally to mean something aside from what is meant to drive home the point. In an example, I will show you why people believe in a burning Hell; then I will show you what the burning Hell they conceive really is.

“When the 1,000 years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle. Their number is like the sand of the sea. They came up over the surface of the earth and surrounded the encampment of the saints, the beloved city. Then fire came down from heaven and consumed them. The Devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet are, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” Revelation 20:7-10 (HCSB)

Hell is not fire and brimstone. Hell is an abyss. It is total and complete darkness, solitude and separation from God and all others. It’s solitary confinement in the Spirit Realm and there is no escaping it. Think about it. When you die you leave the container we are in while on the Physical Plane which is your physical body. When you leave that container you are then transformed into your Spiritual Body. Fire and brimstone are physical elements that cannot harm a spiritual body. So what would the point would there be in Hell being fire and brimstone if it cannot harm you? The above Scripture’s 10th verse is where the misconception arises. To fully understand the torment of forever, you have to understand what the “lake of fire” really symbolizes. That is given without symbolism. Now let’s look at Revelation 20:14-15 “Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And anyone not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.” (HCSB)

So, what is the Lake of Fire? “This is the second death, the lake of fire.” The “second death” is a death of annihilation from existence. You don’t get reanimation from that death. You have simply been completely destroyed, and are out of creation’s existence; that also means out of Yahweh’s memory, for He is the one with the power to reanimate. Because of eternal annihilation, they have lost the chance to live for eternity; but it does not mean they are in a place of actual torment. The torment is what Satan and his demons feel right now. They know they cannot be forgiven, because the fall from perfection is one you cannot climb back up to under Yahweh’s Sovereign Laws. Mankind is under secondary sin from the first human couple that were perfect. Adam and Eve cannot climb back up to perfection either, so they too are lost just like Satan and his angels that fell from perfection. That’s the reason the Ransom Sacrifice had to come through someone perfect that had not sinned. Neither Adam, nor Eve qualified to take the sin away they had committed; and Christ could not forgive their trespass against Yahweh’s Laws, because just like the fallen angels, they to had fallen from a position they could not ever go back to. That’s why we offspring of the first humans were redeemed through Christ; because he accepted the secondary sin that we are all born into, unto himself. It did not make him imperfect; instead, he bore that sin unto death on the Cross, for those that have faith in him and his Father.
