Correct!
ANGELS STUDY----THE CLASSES OF ANGELS
Now according to the Bible, not me but the Bible, there are THREE (3) classes of Angels.
1. Archangels.
The ONLY angel in the Scriptures that is designated as an "Arch Angel" is Michael in Jude 9.
"But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.”
Now we all have heard it sad and been told that Gaberial is also an archangel. Where do heresies like that come from. Well, in this instance, it comes from The book of Enoch/ Enoch was a work written between the Old and New Testament, references Gabriel as an archangel. Because of this, most believe that Gabriel is an archangel from this text. However, the Book of Enoch is OCCULTIC and has many references of Witchcraft in it. It is to be rejected by the Christian at all costs.
In Daniel 12:1 he is seen standing up for the nation of Israel during the Tribulation Period.
In Daniel 10:13 & 21 he is seen coming to help another angel.
In Revelation 12:7-8 he is seen fighting Satan. We can by those Scriptures understand that Michael is an angel of considerable power.
The other angel who is referred to many times in Scripture is Gaberial.Many people, because of the number of times he is seen is thought to be an arch angel, however he is never called one in Scripture.
2. CHERUBIM.
Exeliel 10:1-2 is a list of the faces of each CHERUBIM.......
1. The front is like a man
2. The right side is like a lion
3. The left side is like an Ox
4. The back is like an Eagle.
Does that sound familiar? It should........Revelation 4:6-8 says....
"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!”
But there is more to this than just that.
In all Four gospels Jeus is portrayed by a LION, an OX, a MAN and an EAGLE.
2 Kings 19:15.......
"And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said: “O Lord, the God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made the heavens and the earth."
3. SERAPHIM
Isaiah 6:1-2...
"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. 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. ;And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!”

ANGELS- CHAPTER SEVEN----THE CATAGORIES OF ANGELS!
Biblically speaking, there are TWO Catagories of angels.
1. FAITHFUL
2. UN-FAITHFUL.
1. Faithful angels worship and obey God.
1 Kings 22:19......
"Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with all the multitudes of heaven standing around him on his right and on his left."
Isaiah 6:3.............
"And one cried to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!"
Revelation 19:4........
"And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!”
2. UNFAITHFUL Angels are fallen angels and are in fact "Demons".
Like angels, they are created spirit-beings and are powerful. Demons are “angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling place” (Jude 1:6).
Demons follow Satan (the devil, Lucifer) – chief of the fallen angels. Satan is in no way equal to God – he is created, with limited power and under God’s authority.
(1 Chronicles 21:1, Acts 5:3, 1Thessalonians 3:5, Matthew 4:1-11, 2 Corinthians 11:3). Satan lured Adam and Eve into sin by questioning the goodness of God and the consequences of disobeying Him (Genesis 3:1-5). Satan entered into Judas before he betrayed Jesus (John 13:27). Satan is the crafty, cunning, great deceiver.
Satan and his demons can perform false signs and wonders
(2 Thess. 2:9, Deuteronomy 13:1-2, Matthew 24:24). This is why the Bible tells us to “test the spirits to see whether they are from God” (1 John 4:1).
Biblically speaking, there are TWO Catagories of angels.
1. FAITHFUL
2. UN-FAITHFUL.
1. Faithful angels worship and obey God.
1 Kings 22:19......
"Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with all the multitudes of heaven standing around him on his right and on his left."

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!"
Revelation 19:4........
