Higher Angels

**Higher Angels** are the upper class of angels, not only more powerful than the Lower and Middle Angels, but are the strongest, fastest, and most powerful angels under God's command. The Higher Angels were granted corporal bodies when they were created, which are superior to human bodies (immortal, more resistant to damage and have wings). The higher Angels have three specific classes: Archangels, Seraphim, and Cherubim.

## Appearances/Characteristics

When Higher Angels are disembodied, their spiritual form is similar to that of a Lower and Middle Angel a floating head made up of light, except instead of white, they are golden with a greenish hue. When they were created, Higher Angels were given bodies that are almost identical to the bodies given to humans. They are able to unfurl large feathery wings at will, allowing them to fly, fight, and protect themselves. One sphere of Higher Angels, the Cherubim, are known to have light-brownish-orange irises as well

## Higher Angel Spheres

### Archangels

The eldest, highest, and most powerful class of God's angels in Heaven and Heaven's original leaders and controllers in God's absence, Archangels are the chief angels of high rank and reputation. As generals in God's army, Archangels are responsible for religion and looking after holy relics. Archangels largely serve as the generals of Heaven, and are immensely powerful and very fierce celestials, with the lower angel orders reporting to them. They are far more powerful than any other angelic rank, being imbued with near unimaginable and immeasurable power and authority. Furthermore, they are some of the strongest beings in all of Creation. The five Archangels siblings that comprise the first order of angels were born in this specific order: Joshua, Lucifer, Raphael, Gabriel, and Sabrael. Archangels have a human form, magnificent feathered wings, and wear armor when necessary. They use their wings for flight, to communicate with other angels, as forceful weapons, and as impenetrable shields. When their wings are retracted, Archangels appear indistinguishable from humans. Archangels are highly skilled warriors endowed with incredible strength far superior to that of both humans and their angel brethren. They have heightened senses and heal quickly, but are not indestructible. They can be killed, but only with Archangel Blades. There are at only four archangels alive now; Joshua is still in Heaven as the Commander of the Heavenly Host, Lucifer is currently walking on Earth, Raphael is Joshua's second-in-command, and Gabriel walks on Earth.

### Cherubim

The Cherubim are a whole other type of angelic being, who rank higher than the Thrones, Dominions, the Virtues, the Powers, the Principalities, the Grigori, the Rit-Zien, the Guardian Angels, and regular Angels. The lowest members of the higher-tier class of angels, Cherubim rank above lower angels but below the Seraphs and Archangels, and are more powerful than lower angels but still much less than archangels or Seraphs. The Cherubim are a warrior class of angel. When they incarnate, they usually take on the role of guardians and enforcers. When God cast Adam and Eve out of Eden, he placed cherubim at the entrances to block their return. Zachariah, for example, is Camael's direct superior. Other confirmed Cherubs include Gadreel and Emmanuel. The Cherubim are immensely powerful celestials who can overpower and smite high tier demons. They are also strong enough to smite almost any monster and have been shown to possess incredible powers, such as Holy White Light and advanced Biokinesis. Cherubim function as liaisons between archangels and regular angels and, like the archangels, but their powers are not imbued within them, and if they fall from or become cut off from Heaven, they loose their powers.
