SERAPHIM
In Isaiah 6,
Isaiah saw God seated on His throne in the temple.
Flying above Him were astonishing beings called
seraphim The word "seraphim" literally means "burning
ones." These angels stay so close to God that
they burn with a holy brilliance.
According to Isaiah, the seraphim have six wings. Two wings cover their faces in reverence. Even the angels protect themselves from the brilliance of God's glory! Two wings cover the seraphim feet in humility. In the Eastern mind, covered feet denote deep humility. And the last two wings propel them back and forth above the Lord. It says that four wings are for worship and two wings are for work. It seems like today we reverse the order of priority. Perhaps the seraphim are pictured as examples of the importance of worship.
The seraphim also have human features such as feet, hands and voices. One seraphim carried a burning coal from the altar in his hand. The voices of the seraphim were so loud they shook the door posts. They called back and forth, announcing the Lord's holy character, and one of them pronounced cleansing and forgiveness to Isaiah. Although they are not called seraphim, the angels in Revelation 4 seem to fit this same description. They have six wings and cry "Holy, holy. holy" to the Lord.
