Genesis 3:24
And He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubim, and a flaming sword, which turned every way, to guard the way of the Tree of Life.
ANGELS AND THEIR ORDER IN HEAVEN
Yesterday, we discussed the order of Seraphim, who are described, so well, in Isaiah 6:2. This Order of Angels are called the "Burning ones" and they worship and adore GOD day and night. They have a voice, and with that voice they cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD".
The next Order of Angels are the Cherubim. These Angels "guard" the very Throne of GOD. They are not cute little, plump, cupid angels, like you see in the stores. These are the Angels who flank and defend the Holiness of GOD from the onslaught of the enemy. They have a sword, which turns every way and guards the way to the Tree of Life. These are the two angels who are atop the Ark of the Covenant, with two wings touching each other as they bow before the presence of GOD. They guard the Mercy Seat and the entrance to the Holy of Holies.
The army Angels are the Archangels. These angels have authority over the army of angels in Heaven, who relate and reveal GOD to humankind. There are three archangels mentioned in the Canon of Scripture: Gabriel, Michael, and Lucifer ( who rebelled against GOD and was thrown out of heaven). There is one mentioned in the Deuterocanononical books: Raphael, the angel of healing.
ALL THE ANGELIC HOST IS COMMANDED BY JESUS AND WORSHIP THE LORD GOD IN HIGH PRAISE.
