Celestial Central- the Angelic Organization Chart
Monica King
February 04, 2006
For those of you who, like I do, mourn the apparent complete lack of honor, nobility, chivalric deeds & other characteristics of the vision the legendary King Arthur depicted; in the many tales in England concerning his struggle to bring forth a civilized government with the ideal society expressed as using might FOR the right, in stark contrast to might IS the right in our own government today, both in America, Great Britain, & other first world nations, take heart. Help IS on the way!
In Heaven, royalty reigns. A royal order, of which we all can play a key & vitally significant part. In the Celestial Order of Angelic reign, which is an ETERNAL reign, GOD is King. But not an earthly king, who subjugates his servants & even as in many instances of history has plotted against his own family members, killed his own wives, or plotted murder against a brother, son, mother, father, or other relative. He does not NEED to. He already "has the whole world in His hands".
His Mom likewise is a Queen of peace, having herself suffered right alongside her Son, the nearly unbearable pain of watching her Firstborn being scourged nearly to death, then hung on a cross for simply proclaiming an eternal truth. (See the Passion of Christ to bring this completely home to your awareness & understanding.)
The King & Queen of the Angels are two human beings, a mother & a son. They hold this title because of their worthiness. Both humanity & celestiality come together in each personage. They INTEGRATE the Heavenly & earthly reign by SUPPLANTING all that is NOT of their holy order upon the earth. This is their awesome job description. They do this by using the original power of creation; the Word. CO-equally. Of course not at first. Mom was the first matured royal heiress of her reign simply because the angelic government does not SUPERCEDE the natural order, or render it null & void, not at all! They instead are here to bring Heavenly government to reign perpetually upon the earth as Promise Keepers. Keeping promises, & their Word is the essence of their power, glory & function. They are more powerful, stronger, & far more able than any earthly ruler to do this; in all realms; intellectually, emotionally, physically: & of course, this is because they come from the Source. They together with the whole of Creation ARE the Source of All That Is.
If you research their roles carefully, asking for the Spirit's guidance on the internet, you will find them, or their archetypes in all creation myths, legends & stories in every culture around the globe, because they are, of course, Global Guardians.
So, King & Queen we will come back to. As in any royal court however, they need, & have a Chief Warrior Prince, the head of all military operations. The strong arm of the Heavenly reign; the champion, the Knight of the First Order, & this knight is the Archangel Michael.
As the Babe enters the earthly realm for the second time, which is written of in the 12th Chapter of the Book of Revelation, there is a period of infancy, childhood, & a raising up AGAIN of the boy who would be King, this time for all time, & AT THE SAME TIME a dragon, the adversarial force that appears. Knowing that his time is short, the second birth of the infant King of the Angels is a significant usher; a benchmark in time that signals the "time of the end" commencing.
As it does, there is, in the final Play, destined to be a marriage of the young lad to his own chosen beautiful bride before the "great & terrible day of the Lord" when the final fiercest battles of the Angels for the souls of all living takes place.
SO, at the center of the Celestial order is a awesome foursome; The King, the Queen, the Prince & the Bride. A very stable number, the number four. Like the cells in a square battery, they are at the core of the Angelic organization chart.
UNLIKE the organizational charts of many for profit American & British businesses today, & even, sadly, some nonprofits however, their order is NOT truly a heirarchy. They SHARE their leadership. Careful reading of scriptures demonstrates the differences. Each one is unique in his or her own right, with talents, gifts, & abilities that COMPLEMENT one another, & function, smoothly & optimally as a whole BODY.
So the organization of the angelic realm is organized "as a body" as Christ taught during his earthly ministry over 2,000 years ago.
To stretch the metaphor further, let us recall that eyes do not compete to be a liver, kidneys do not ask to be knees & so forth. Each part of the whole KNOWS it/they are VITAL to the whole & goes about being the finest at what each DOES.
Further, as this is a Heavenly & ETERNAL reign, the King & Queen know ALOT about Heaven, being at the head. So does the Prince & the Bride. They soar through it as the free spirit each of the four is, to perform the responsibilities & also to enjoy the realm they have charge over.
Sound like a fairy tale? Perhaps. But not really. Truth it turns out, is far more fantastic than we knew! If you doubt this as an intelligent, rational being I refer you to the masterful series The Elegant Universe on Nova which you can watch at home on your computer for FREE. Our own physicists, supposedly some of the most intelligent bunch on the planet, have quantum-leaped their way to "string theory" which postulates that our whole cosmos is actually made up of stuff which acts like strings, & moving all the time, as in vibrational frequencies, allows for not just one version of reality, the one we commonly in waking life walk around in, or a four dimensional awareness; that of our three dimensional selves walking in time, being the fourth dimension, but according to their most recent finding we may be walking in & through not just one parallel universe but 11!
It IS a most momentous time upon the earth RIGHT now, & we are ALL party to this time of times!
SO, back to providing a "mental pic" of the Celestial Order.
Imagine if you will for a moment a huge light ship, shaped as a large pyramid in space, hovering somewhere near enough to earth for the inhabitants to visit & commute back & forth from.
This Light Ship has the ability to contain a vast number of the Angelic Order. The Ship itself is shaped like one of the great pyramids, but is lighter, & allows for great light to both enter into its crystalline sides, & to emit the great light combined & concentrated by the Light Beings, the Celestial Angels who are using it as Celestial Central.
At its CENTER is a place where four seats in a square formation are; these seats are for the inner four mentioned above.
Yet immediately around it are many other seats & places to sit in a spiralling outward circle, much as as the spiral you often see repeated in nature, both in seashells such as the conch, & reflected also in the heavens as stars & planets are born in a whirlwind. As above, so below. The elegant patterns of nature are repeated again & again.
The first inner circle of angelic ministers are made up of three offices of angels; the core four Thrones, cherabim, & seraphim, angels who are closely related to & working with & PLAYING with too, as all angels play & play music in the inner circle. They know & are known by each other very well. Some may have been with the King in his first journey, others may have found there way there in subsequent ones to & from the earthly life.
What is Biblically correct here is that the ONLY one we know the name of for sure is Michael, as he plays such a significant leading role in the "end time" Play.
As the inner circle spirals outward, there is a second circle containing angels holding the offices known as Powers, Principalities, & Virtues. Since the great celestial government at the Central Core is concerned with Universal governance, it is no surprise that there are many offices to fill concerning an ordely guardianship over ALL of the earth's surface & the heavens surrounding her. Powers, Principalities, & Virtues are concerned with these guardianship roles
In a third outward spiral exists the other three offices of the Angelic order; Dominations, Archangels & Angels.
So, all in all there exist nine orders or offices of angels.
This simplifies the picture somewhat.
Because Angels are Beings of Light & work with Light, they are extremely fast moving & it would be difficult to actually get them all to sit still at once! Which is why I use these word imageries simply to help the reader "get" that, although there is a highly organized order in the realm of the King & Queen of Love, it is far from static at all. The whole order could be imaged in your imagination as easily as a "cloud" as well. Again, surf the web. There are fabulous photos & videos to show you what heaven & earthly kinds of orderly arrangements exist. My point here is that because reality, & all of humanity's collective consciousness is hurtling forward in an unprecedented fashion, some of the old static concepts will need to be swept away to fully access the new order. The housekeeping each reader does within the privacy & confines of one's mind & heart.
But that, in essence is how the Angelic Order looks as a thumbnail sketch. Throw into the Great Council Room or spacship the 24 elders from the earth & you begin to get some imagery going on in your movie screen mind.
HOW do you know if you have encountered an angel?
Beliefnet has a whole section about them & places to chat about such encounters. Along with this resource I would add several key sensory experiences that might clue you in.
First off, only two angels in most Bible versions are mentioned by name; Gabriel, who is associated with being an announcer of pregnancies & birth, along with being the comforter to Christ during his agonizing night at Gethsemane, when his disciples fell asleep having drunk too much wine. And of course, Michael.
Gabriel is mentioned in the Bible as also appearing "as a man", so this is not new for him. But he is capable also of speaking to holy men & prophets, at least as in one instance with Zacharias, to "speak IN him", what Catholics might call "interior locution".
A faithful believer is capable too of discerning between the voice OF God & the voice of His messenger.
In fact, in these days the ability to discern the spirits is more vital than ever, because of the battle with the one third of the fallen ones.
So, while this may have, & may well land some in a psych ward, the ability to receive angelic help comes sometimes in the ability to listen with the inward ear of the Spirit. And then to be able to properly weigh the message against the tried & true teachings of the sacred stories contained in the texts of the culture.
The difference between a prophet & a mad man can sometimes be difficult to discern. But in psych wards, the golden rule is whether or not the internal voice or voices is telling you to do something to harm yourself or someone else. If it is, THAT voice is not a message bearer from the realms of light.
While a Light bearer MAY tell you an instruction which does not make sense at that moment, the message is FOR your health, not against it. I have read many, many testimonials of folks encountering angels as guardians & rescuers, & the message may be simply "don't get on that plane", or "pull over" when a fatality is being avoided on the road or while traveling.
The message will eventually make sense! You will see that it was given you for your BENEFIT not your HARM.
Other indications an angel is near by is in changes in the light near or in the immediate vicinity of you or someone near to you. A higher vibrational frequency can sometimes be seen in what almost looks like a flutter in the air; little firefly like, rapidly moving nuggets of light may indicate nature spirits, as angels can take on very tiny forms as well as appear as huge pillars of clouds. They can shapeshift at will using the elemental forces of light, fire, water, wind.
Finally, last but certainly not least, angels, being Air beings as well, can communicate to you through snatches of music suddenly playing in your head, a tune you just start humming for no reason at all, or one that suddenly catches your attention from a passing car radio. And SCENT. Since scent is the most ancient sense we possess, angels often use scent to stimulate old memories or catch your attention in that way. A waft of a rose scent may mean the Queen of Peace has visited you. Or any floral scent for that matter. A sudden whiff of fresh-baked bread, or some baking your grandma did when you were a child.
Angels LOVE to use lovely memories to remind you of your innocence. Both waking sensory & in your dream world as well.
Angels are organized in choirs. They love to sing & bring harmony. Because that is a primary function of their shared governance. Song & music will often cut through much intellectual hubris in a person who has lost touch with his or her inner childlike nature, & music moves the soul of a child of God to be REminded again, that life is not ALL about grown-up responsibilities every waking second of the day! Perhaps that is why we are often reminded in midwinter that we can pause, eat chocolate & send cute heartshaped cards to each other with chubby infant-looking cherubs & cupids to heat up romance.
But lest you think chubby cute little angels is the limit of their power, think again!
Let me tell you all about Michael. Because Michael is the Prince Warrior Archangel over all the rest of the King & Queen's court. And let me tell you, he is no shrinking violet!
Enough for now. Michael deserves his own article altogether.
