Functions of the Angels
The angels can be divided into three group of three, a trinity of trinities. The lowest group, comprised of Angels, Archangels and Principalities, are charged with communicating God’s will to humanity, with Principalities governing princes and nations; Archangels caring for sacred things and functioning as messengers between God, the angelic hierarchy, and humanity; and Angels acting as personal guardians.
The middle order, composed of Dominions, Virtues, and Powers, regulates divine governance. They are not interested in human affairs.
The highest order, consisting of Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones, is entirely focused upon God, eternally contemplating and praising him.
Other Names
The Angelic or Empyrean realm is sometimes referred to by a variety of other names such as the Supercelestial, Divine, Religious, Pythagorean or Intellectual realm. Human intellect is seen as superior to all other functions within humans, thus the association.
