Bible Question: how many types of angels are there? What are the names of these angels |
Bible Answer: There are "elect angels" (1 Timothy 5v21) and "fallen angels" (Jude 1v6). I take it that it is the elect angels which your query concerns. There is the Archangel Michael (Daniel 10v21, 12v1; Jude 1v9; Revelation 12v7). Another "angel" that is named in Scripture is Gabriel (see Daniel 8v16, 9v21; Luke 1v19,26). The "cherubim" appear to be a class of angel - first mentioned in Genesis 3v24, they seem to represent in some way Gods righteous character. They are mentioned on numerous occasions throughout the Scripture - "two cherubim of Gold" covered the "mercy-seat" in the tabernacle. The "seraphim" of Isaiah Ch6 are another class of angelic being it would appear. Possibly (and I say possibly because I dont know!) the "living creatures" of Revelation Ch 4 are another class of angel. Also in Colossians Ch 1v16 the Scripture states concerning the Lord Jesus "For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him." I take it (from the background and context of these verses)that the "invisible" things of which Paul writes are further described as "thrones...dominions...rulers...authorities" and these are all grades of angels. I take it that the use of the term "Angel of the Lord" in the Old Testament is a reference to a Christophany rather than an "angel" per se. I'm sure others will have more information to add. Hope this is helpful. Regards, David |
