Guardian Angel
‘Tis said we are blessed 
With a guardian angel in disguise. 
We do not always know them,
For they appear in any form or size. 
They do arrive when needed, 
In a strange mysterious way,
Not by chance as some may think, 
But on a special day. 
So if you are sad with no direction 
As to what course to pursue,
Just wait for your protection 
From an angel 
meant just for you.
by Mary M. Wadham

Angel Hierarchy
Angels are organized or ranked in terms of authority and glory and were formed to 
create order in the angelic world. There are nine choirs of angels that surround God’s throne.
SERAPHIMS:
Seraphims are the closest to God and considered to be the highest order of God’s 
angelic servants. They surround the throne of God and their essence is love.
CHERUBIM:
God is said to have stationed “East of Eden the Cherubim and the Ever Turning Sword 
to guard the way to the Tree of Life.” The Cherubim are known as God’s record 
keepers and they help to execute the Divine Plan. Their essence is knowledge.
THRONES:
According to the old Testament, during a windstorm, the prophet Ezekial had a vision 
of a glowing thunderhead coming from the north. Inside the storm were four human like
creatures each with four faces , wings and hooves. They were accompanied by four
shining wheels and the rims were covered with eyes. The fiery wheels were the Thrones 
and their role is to consider the disposition of God’s decisions.
DOMINIONS:
Dominions are heavens executives or the order givers. They regulate the duties 
of the other angels and they decide what needs to be done to accomplish God’s 
goals. This includes the day to day orders which help make the universe run smoothly.
VIRTUES:
Drawing on God’s force, the Virtues bestow blessings from on high, usually in the
form of miracles. Also known as the Brilliant or Shining Ones, they are associated
with heroes and those who struggle in the name of goodness and truth. The Virtues 
are also said to instill courage when it’s needed most.
POWERS:
The Powers are also known as Authorities. They were supposedly the first angels
created by God to act as a guard to the heavenly pathways looking out for diabolical
infiltration. Keeping this balance is difficult but the Powers keep the perfect equilibrium
in the universe.
PRINCIPALITIES:
Principalities were originally in charge of nations and great cities on Earth. They became
the protectors of religion and protectors of good spirits from attack by evil spirits.
ARCHANGELS:
Once considered the highest rank of angels, these magnificent seven are the best
known of all the angels. The most famous are Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel.
Archangels are Messengers that carry Divine Decrees. They are considered the 
most important intermediary beings between God and mortals.
ANGELS:
The last order and closest to mankind. The angels are God’s tribe of messengers, 
guardians and spirits who live in the hearts of man.
