WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT ANGELS?

DO ALL ANGELS FLY?

Revelation 8:13 - "And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Revelation 14:6 - "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people."

IS THERE MORE THAN ONE ARCHANGEL?

1 Thessalonians 4:16 - "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of THE archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first."

Jude 1:9 "Yet Michael THE archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

SERAPHIMS:  SIX-WINGED ANGELS

Isaiah 6:1-3 - "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.  Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.  And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory."

Revelation 4:8 - "And the four beasts (four created beings - the seraphims) 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."

CHERUBIMS:  FOUR-WINGED ANGELS

Ezekiel 1:5-6, 11 - "Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures (four created beings - cherubims). And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.  And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.  Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
Ezekiel 10:20-21 - "This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.  Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings."


The Bible should be our only source of information on the angelic beings.
