Angels are winged spirits who are servants of God. They live with God and often act as messengers for humanity, bringing wisdom, prophecies and warnings to a few people, only a select few. Angels are generally benevolent, they are warriors, or doers of God's will. They can also punish both sinners and evil creatures that can harm a person. Although angels originated in theology, they became powerful literary and occult figures. Various books, films, television shows, songs, poems depict or refer to angels. And many new religious movements often embrace angels in their beliefs. Many philosophers and theologians think about angels and try to understand their influence on the human psyche and their influence on society as a whole. Angels are classified in a hierarchy. Each is assigned a specific goal and task, both in Heaven and on Earth.
Hierarchy of Angels:
Seraphim are angels of the highest rank, especially close to the throne of God and glorifying Him. They are direct contemplators of God, they have six wings. These are the spirits of love, light and warmth.
Cherubim are guardian angels guarding the entrance to the Garden of Eden. When God drove Adam and Eve out of Eden, he placed cherubim at the entrance. These are the spirits of harmony, wisdom and science.
Thrones - symbolize God's justice and power. These are spirits of will.
Dominions - rule the peoples on earth and regulate the work and responsibilities of the angels who are below them in the hierarchy.
Forces - are responsible for the movement of celestial bodies such as stars, planets, the sun and are those who maintain order in space. They rule nature and have control over the seasons. They are also responsible for miracles, and bestow courage, grace, and dignity. Forces are carriers of the image of the Almighty God, and they tend to impart Divine power to inferior beings.
The authorities are warrior angels who protect space and people from evil, and are also the keepers of history. Their job is to keep the other angels in line.

The beginnings are the inhabitants of the higher regions of the spiritual world, invisible to us. They head the third rung of the heavenly hierarchy, where they stand with the archangels and angels. Spirits of personality and time.
Archangels are the main angels of high rank and reputation. As generals in God's army, archangels are responsible for religion and the care of holy relics. Michael is the main archangel, Gabriel is the messenger of divine revelations and the ruler of the spirits that help people, Raphael is the ruler of human thought and his healer, Uriel is the ruler of the heavenly bodies, the guardian of Paradise, Raguel is the archangel of justice and lawfulness, Jeremiel is watching the resurrection of the dead, Sariel is the ruler over the souls of the sons of men, and also looks after the sinners. Lucifer also stood at this hierarchical level and belonged to the archangels (but was expelled from Paradise and became known as the Devil, or Satan, and the abyss in which he and his followers lived became known as Hell).
Angels are ordinary angels, and guardian angels also belong to them. They are essentially a working class of angels and are therefore considered inferior in rank. These angels act as messengers of the higher classes, transmitting messages, orders and directions either directly from the seraphim or from any other angelic authority. Many bring messages directly from God. They were created by God, first of all, to create the material world, over which they have significant power. Angels, just like people, have a mind, and their mind is more perfect than human.
Guardian angels are the closest to our sinful world, they are assigned to watch over people's thoughts and deeds, to protect the righteous and instruct sinners. These angels, God gives to a person at baptism, according to one theory and at birth, according to another theory. In childhood, the child is protected not only by his guardian angel, but also by his mother's guardian angel. The guardian angel follows a person not only throughout his life, helping and protecting him from misfortunes, but also accompanies the soul into the afterlife, after death. You can turn to a guardian angel in a difficult life period, ask him for help and patronage. Guardian angels in prayer ask for protection from unpleasant surprises on a long journey, from bad people, from illness and misfortune. These divine beings endowed with great power and illumined with great love,do not promise their "wards" golden mountains, but they can give something that is incomparably dearer than any treasures of the world - true love, sincere friendship, health, happiness, harmony with the world and oneself. They do not perform punitive functions, their tasks are only to help and point a person to the righteous path leading to the acquisition of God's mercy and grace. The strength of the guardian angel and his ability to help his ward depend on the faith of the person and his lifestyle. In many religions, there are prayers to the guardian angel that must be said in order to ask him for help, or to thank him for his support. It is believed that if you sincerely believe in the guardian and do not forget to constantly thank him for all the good things that have happened, then he will be able to help his ward more. A guardian angel can turn away from a person and leave him,as they are frightened off by anger, hatred, foul language, evil deeds, aggression. They are not ready to be near those who intoxicate themselves with alcohol or drugs, they do not like the smell of tobacco smoke, it hurts to hear screams and curses. These are beings of a very fine organization, and if they see that no one needs their help here, then they leave the person. And from this very time, a person is left to himself and demons begin to surround him, lower creatures that feed on negative emotions and parasitize on a person, sucking out strength, health and his vital energy. However, sincerely repenting, changing yourself, your way of life, clearing your thoughts and soul, you can return your Guardian Angel and again be under his protection. How many guardian angels a person has depends on his purpose on earth. Each person on earth has his own task that he must fulfill, and guardian angels are his helpers on this path. Therefore, the more important the purpose of this or that person for the whole world as a whole, the more keepers are given to him. And all people, depending on the path destined for them, may have from one to several dozen guardian angels.
