Additional Information

Social Structure

All of the heavenly orders are also called by the common name “angels”. Although they have different names according to their situation and grace given by God (as seraphim, cherubim, thrones and the rest of the orders), yet all, in general, are called angels because the word “angel” is not a denomination of essence, but of service.

Order of Angel	Number of Wings	Description	Subgroups
Angels	2	The Angels are the lowest of all the orders in the heavenly hierarchy and the closest to man. They announce the lesser mysteries and intentions of God and teach people to live virtuously and righteously before God.
Archangels	2	The Archangels are called the great heralds of good news, announcing the great and most glorious. Their service consists in revealing prophecies, knowledge, and understanding of God’s will which they receive from the higher orders of angels and announce to the lower order, ie. the angels, and through them, to men.
Principalities	2	The Principalities are named thus because they have command over the lower angels, directing them to the fulfillment of divine orders. The management of the universe of men.
Powers	4	The Powers are so called because they have power over the devil, in order to restrain the power of the demons, to repulse the temptations brought upon people by them, and to prevent the demons from harming anyone to the degree that they would wish.
Virtues	4	The Virtues, filled with divine strength, quickly fulfill the will of the Lord. They both work very great miracles and send down the grace of miracle-working to God’s saints
Dominions	4	The Dominions are so named because, being themselves free, they dominate over the rest of the angels which follow behind them. Having abandoned servile fear, they voluntarily and with joy serve God unceasingly. Also they send down power for prudent governing and wise management to authorities on the earth set up by God.
Thrones	4	The Thrones are known for their wonderful minds. They contemplate God's will on a regular basis, and with their strong intellect, they work to understand that knowledge and figure out how to apply it in practical ways. In the process, they acquire even greater wisdom. They are the chariots of God's wisdom.
Cherubim	4	The Cherubim are known for their work helping people deal with sin that separates them from God so they can draw closer to God. They urge people to confess what they've done wrong, accept God's forgiveness, learn spiritual lessons from their mistakes, and change their choices so their lives can move forward in a healthier direction.
