Is it true that all angels are not the same?

[peldom10]

My studied point to that not all angels are equal, there are three separate orders.

1. Cherubim, or archangel are the highest and most powerful. They surround God’s throne, have six wigs, four faces, and are quite large. (Rev. 4:7, Ezekiel 1:10) They have a man’s face, a lion’s face, a bull’s face, and an eagle’s face. They are covered with eyes. The bible speaks of Michael the warrior for God, Gabriel the redeemer of God, and the two who fell: the angel called Lucifer who was the angel of light and Abaddon called the ‘Angel of Death. Ezekiel 28:13-19.

Raphael Healer of God and Uriel Light of God are spoken of in extra-biblical writings. All the names end in “el” a Hebrew word meaning God.

One third of the original six rebelled, as one third of all angels rebelled.

2, Seraphim or Burning Ones are the middle order. They are the messengers of God racing back and forth between heaven and earth doing His will. In Revelation 8:7 they are spoken of as fire raining down on the earth. Ancient Hebrew telling of Jacob seeing angels going back and forth to heaven suggests it was Seraphim he saw.

3. Teraphim. KJV Danie 4:17 they are spoken of as watchers. In that passage in the NIV translation they are called messengers. They are our guardian angels.

Paul tells us that we may see them as they are able to take on human form, for we are advised to be kind to strangers, they may be angels.

Scripture gives the images heathen magicians use for magic a word translated as teraphim. When Rachel took the household idols, (Gen. 31:34) the original Hebrew suggests the spirits behind them were fallen Teraphim.

I tend to agree with your point but with different basis.
The Bible calls angels by different references;

A mighty Angel...........

A mighty angel: Rev. 5:2-4 | OnceDelivered.net
oncedelivered.net/2011/03/28/a-mighty-angel-rev-52-4
In this passage in Revelation, we are told of a “mighty” or “strong” angel. All angels are strong. They are more powerful than people but not omnipotent. They are more intelligent than people but not omniscient. And they are swifter than people but not omnipresent. But occasionally the Bible describes an angel in a certain way.

Only one is referred in scriptures as Archangel. Such reference is from the Greek word.... Archangelos...which means ...A Chief Angel.
Another is referred to as ...Fallen Angel.
Another is referred to as Lucifer.
Another as Beelzebul.
Another as Apollyon/Abaddon.
Another is referred as An Angel.
Another as...Angel of the Lord. (since all angels are in heaven it is reasonable to conclude that all are of the Lord. So, why refer to one as ..of the Lord..... unless it has special meaning. It is fair to conclude that it is a named Angel for a reason.
Another as ...Guardian Angel.
Another is referred as God's Messenger.
Etc.

That would tend to support a variant capacity assigned by God to His Angels.

 

[ewq1938]

Only one is referred in scriptures as Archangel.

More than one is mentioned but using Hebrew terms:

Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Michael is the archangel most know of.


Daniel 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Here we see Michael spoken of again but a different term for Archangel is used, "chief Prince" and we see that Michael is but one of them. We do not know how many others there are but he is only one of them as opposed to the only one. In the Hebrew the word "prince" is a leader of some kind. This is a reference to the archangels which is the high or leader angels over other angels, the ones with authority over the lower angels.


Daniel 10:21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.


Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
