Angels

Angels are spirit beings that operate in a spiritual body. Angels are referred to only in a male gender. However, Satan�s angels sometimes masquerade as females. Humans do not become angels after death. Angels are a unique species created by God. Angels are not to be worshipped by anyone. Do not talk to nor communicate with angels. Angels do not marry and do not have the ability to breed (See
Nephilim page).

There are three classifications of God�s angels.

"So He drove out the man; and placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life". Gen. 3:24
Cherubim are warriors and guardians. The leader of the cherubim group is believed to be Michael, the most powerful of the 3 known Biblically mentioned archangels: Michael, Gabriel, and Lucifer. The archangels do not make up a specific group it is instead a position of rank. Think of them as four star generals.

"Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew" . Isaiah 6:2
The seraphim are worshipping, musical, singing angels.
The leader of the seraphim was once Lucifer. There is no knowledge as to which angel heads this group after Lucifer�s rebellion.

Messenger and  ministering angels make up the third group. The generic term used to describe this group is simply �angels.� The head of this group is believed to be Gabriel. Gabriel visited various Biblical saints.
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? (Heb 1:14)

There is also another creature that I personally consider angelic. They are the 4 beasts.
And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, [were] four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast [was] like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast [was] like a flying eagle. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,  Revelation 4:6-9
The four creatures are not animals but intelligent creatures. They may be cherubims likened to how Ezekiel mentioned the cherubims in Ezekiel chapter 1. I however believe there is a distinction.

Lucifer or Satan�s angels are also referred to as demons. Demons are not disembodied spirits of a Pre-Adamite race. It is scripturally accurate to use the terms �evil sprit,� �fallen angel,� and �demon� interchangeably. Using Gnostic texts, people begin constructing a differential view. There are Gnostic texts that mention the names of fallen angels that even attempt to distinguish between angels and demons. These non-scriptural Gnostic texts should be totally avoided and or burned if they are in your possession. Many occult and pagan groups frequently quote from these Gnostic texts in an attempt to promote their beliefs. These same texts mention names of various other angels which fuel the beliefs of both occultists and pagans.

Readers, please beware of Spiritism. When you start deviding God�s word and using it along with false scriptures then you are getting into dangerous territory. Let�s keep it Biblical. Okay?
