Angel Societal Structure
The ranking of the angelic choirs vary depending upon the religious views and theories. There appear to be some discrepancies between which angels belong to which choir. Below are a list of commonly seen member and positions that may be found listed differently depending on the religion or theories that they refer to.
The Hebrews believed that there existed seven heavens, guarded by various angelic beings. God, who has appointed different angels to represent each heaven, controls all the heavens.
1) Shamayim, ruled by Gabriel2) Raqua, which is co-ruled by Zachariel and Rapael
3) Shehaqim, ruled by Anahel. The third heaven is supposedly the location of the Garden of Eden and the tree of Life.
4) Machonon, ruled by Michael.
5) Mathey is ruled by Sandalphon
6) Zubul has three rulers, Zachiel, Zebul, and Sabath
7) The seventh heaven is Araboth, which is ruled by Cassiel
Angels exist in many different cultures, with many different ranking orders. One such ranking that is well known in the Catholic religion is called the Nine Choirs of Angels. Each group of angels has a specific role in society and the Catholic religion. Angles also exist in other religions such as Buddhism, Judiasm, and Islam, Mormon, however this rank of angels are the most widely known.
Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones are closest to God, while the Principalities, Archangels, and Angels reside closest to humans.Seraphim- Known as the highest order of angels "burning ones".

What is an Angel?
The word angel is thought to be derived from the Greek word "Angelos" which means "messenger". In Christian, Muslim, Jewish and other theologies an angel can be one who acts as a messenger, attendant or agent of God.
Throughout the bible it is generally seen that the will of God is usually imparted or carried out by angels.
Angels are spirits without bodies, who possess superior intelligence, gigantic strength, and surpassing holiness.
Angels are composed of ethereal matter, thus allowing them to take on whichever physical form best suits their immediate needs.
They enjoy an intimate relationship to God as His special adopted children, contemplating, loving, and praising Him in heaven. Some of them are frequently sent as messengers to men from on high.
Angels are the essence of love and joy and stem from the Heart of God/Goddess.
- Now, you will ask why God/Goddess? Is God a female or male?
- He is neither and both at the same time. What is referred to us as God is just the Supreme Source of the hole Existence, a Spirit of such a magnitude, so unconceivable, that has no sex and could be both at the same time if it chooses to. So the reference to God/Goddess was just to emphasize that however you choose to call upon him/her/it it's of no importance
Angels are countless in their number, and flock around the Universe in their millions. Angels are dedicated to serve the needs of all free will entities so that you may experience the same level of unconditional love as they do. Each Angel carries out its assigned task without any hint of hesitation as they take great joy and pleasure in offering their Loving Wisdom and Guidance. Everyone has Angels around them constantly, without exception, and they are eager and excited at the opportunity to communicate with you.
Angels was created with one purpose, the purpose to love and to serve all without condition. In doing so, Angels hold a focus of pure love throughout the Universe and are therefore able to set up a resonance for the vibration of pure love wherever it is needed. You on the other hand, are a free will entity. That means that you have chosen to develop your ability to exist with unconditional love by gaining much experience through many lifetimes and many varied forms of existence. The Angels have been created to counter balance any energies or actions that move in the opposite direction to love so that you will eventually remember your true essence.
Angels are everywhere and you can ask for Angels to assist you with anything you wish. There is no limit! In fact, if no Angel is available for a particular task, an Angel is created as an answer to your wish or prayer, just for you! Yes, the You and the Divine create Angels on request. Angels are God/Goddess making a personal visit, but in a scaled down form. However, the love that they have is just as immeasurable. Remember - Angels are bound by the laws of Free Will. Therefore, they can not assist us in our lives unless we ask them too. So, don’t forget to ask!
- Here is it again God/Goddess and the same question arises.
- Angels appear to us with many forms and shapes. Many times the qualities of an Angel are so delicate that they choose female forms or even masculine bodies with female face characteristics. An Angel will appear to us with the form that is best for us.
Everyone has at least one Guardian Angel, and sometimes two or three. A Guardian Angel is a being that is dedicated to serve and to help you throughout your lifetime. However, the relationship is somewhat deeper than that. Your Guardian Angel was created out of the same essence that makes up your soul. It could be said to be a higher, or essence aspect of yourself. Your Guardian Angel isn't essentially separate from you, it has absolute and unequivocal dedication to you and travels with you on every journey that you as a free will entity choose to make. Your Guardian Angel makes an agreement with your soul to assist it in completing any task it has decided to undertake. This is the reason why Angels have been known to make miraculous rescues from accidents. If a soul has decided to remain focused on the Earth Plane for a given length of time, an Angel will assist in getting someone out of trouble who's 'time is not up'. Angels and their miracles are God's way of remaining anonymous.
An Angel, is complete, unified and centered within the Heart of the Divine at all times. An Angel does not question or contemplate itself, it simply is. In being itself, it is a bundle of God's ever present love and grace. An Angel has been created to serve, love, hold and support those to who it is assigned, and those who ask for Angelic support. Angels are to be found in every corner of the Universe, and in their millions! If you could see Angels with the naked eye, you would be amazed at just how populated the Earth really is. Have you ever felt a breath of cool air brush along your cheek when alone somewhere? That might very well have been an Angel moving aside as you walked into an Angel conference, quite unaware!
So, if you have a Guardian Angel, why do guides make contact with humans? Your Guardian Angel is that part of your eternal being that is holding a vision and focus of you as a unified child of God-Goddess. Your guide, on the other hand, is here to assist you in making easier choices that will help you to grow through experiences with joy and with more ease. Not all guides are permanent, once you have learned all that you can with one guide, another will often take over and take you further. Your Guardian Angel has love and protection to impart, and as such, his or her purpose is to provide you with a reflection of your true nature so that you may never totally forget the essence of the Divine. You could say, your Guardian Angels holds the 'blueprint' of what you truly are in focus so that you may awaken to that ultimate truth. The ultimate being that you are, one that is pure love, that you are God!
There are Angels for just about every function you can think of, and many more! There is no limit to how many Angels you can have in your life and there is no limit to what you may ask for! You can ask Angels to assist you with any project, problem or issue you may have. You may call upon Angels whenever you wish to and for whatever purpose provided that the purpose is not intended to hurt or injure anyone or the Earth itself. Ask the Angels to fill your home with love, ask them to watch over your children at school, ask them to travel with you on long journeys, ask them to sponsor you when you are trying to stop smoking or are trying to lose weight and get healthier. Ask an Angel to take care of your computer or to assist you in resolving an argument with a friend or relative. There is no limit to what you may ask an Angel to do for you. By simply getting used to blessing all that you experience and through asking Angels to be present everywhere on your life, you will begin to embody Angelic qualities in your life. You will be more open to the love and abundance of the Universe. You will begin to experience more joy, health and laughter as you sense the wings of Angels as they fly around every aspect of your life.
Angels was created with one purpose, the purpose to love and to serve all without condition.
We should not forget to entertain strangers, lest we entertain angels unaware.
- - - - Bible - Hebrews 13:2
When our mortal eyes close on this world for the last time, our angels open our spiritual eyes and escort us personally before the face of God.
