Seraphim



Seraphim
Author: Mark V. Markov

Four celestial creatures
Called Seraphim
The burning ones
What an amazing
Four creatures

Created by our Creator,
Holy Trinity.
Created by the Triune God,
Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

They always worship God
Mentioning Holy three times.
Saying Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty

Holy is Heavenly Father
Holy is God's only Begotten Son
Our Lord Jesus Christ
Holy is the Holy Spirit
The Spirit of God,
The Triune God Elohim,
Creator of all life.

The word of God says
They are four, the Seraphim.
One of them has a head and face of a lion
One of them has a head and face of an eagle
One of them has a head and a face of a man
And the other one has the head and face of an ox

Their bodies are full of eyes
They each have six wings
With two wings they cover their face
With two wings they cover their feet
And with other two wings they fly

Never ceasing in worshiping
The Triune God
Saying Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who is, who was,
And who is to come.
Elohim reigns forever.

The beautiful fact about seraphim is that they look very different
from regular angels, yet they are always in the presence of God
praising and worshiping. They consist of fire, that is why they are called the burning ones.
Anyone on this earth can relate and appreciate Holy Trinity Elohim
the Creator of heaven and earth and all life.
No matter how different we all look,no matter what ethnic background, race, or color, still we all can relate to God.He does not discriminate.
Because God's skin tone is fire also. As God the Father's body consists of fire.


Ezekiel 1:26-27

26 And above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in
appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a
likeness with a human appearance.

27 And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were
gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around
And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of
fire, and there was brightness around him.


Isaiah's Vision of the Lord

Isaiah 6:1-7  (ESV)

1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up;
and the train of his robe filled the temple.
 
2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face and with two he covered his feet,
and with two he flew.
 
3 And one called to another and said:

"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!"

4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

5 And I said: "Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!"

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.

7 And he touched my mouth and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for."



Revelation 1:12-16 ESV

12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,
 
13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest.

14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire,

15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.

16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.



John's Vision of the Throne in Heaven

Revelation 4:1-11 (ESV)

The Throne in Heaven

1 After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice,
which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this."

2 At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne.

3 And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow
that had the appearance of an emerald.

4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments,
with golden crowns on their heads.

5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning
seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God,

6 and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal.
And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:

7 the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man,
and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight.

8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within,
and day and night they never cease to say,

"Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
   who was and is and is to come!"

9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever,

10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever.
They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

11 "Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
 to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
 and by your will they existed and were created."
