The intense love of the Seraphim protects the whole cosmos. It spills over and guards the entire world as it pours down through the lower Eight Choirs of Angels. The Cherubim are the second highest Choir of Angels in all creation. The illumination they possess is beyond the human mind to comprehend. The higher the Choir of Angels, the greater is their wisdom and knowledge of Divine Truth. Such illumination operates like a beam of light. The source is God. Those angels closest to God are able to absorb and possess the greatest intensity of Divine Light. They, in turn, beam their light to those lesser Choirs of Angels below them in capacity and receptivity. Only the unfathomable Seraphim contain more capacity to love, more wisdom and knowledge " power and might " humility and graciousness " than the glorious Cherubim. Is it any wonder that those who encounter an angel of the highest Choirs are temporarily blinded? The Thrones are the lowest-ranking angels within the highest group of the Nine Choirs. As Angels of Pure Goodness their primary characteristic is pure humility. It is their glorious humility that allows God to dispense His Magnificent Favors to creation through the Thrones. They are named Thrones because the very power of God that emanates to all that is created in the heavens and the cosmos and the earth "rests" upon the Thrones. All the lower Choirs of Angels are dependent upon the Thrones to access God. The Thrones are so filled with humility that God, who presides over them, carries out His Divine Justice through them. God has so ordered His Creation that the wicked are punished by the very actions they perform. The Thrones, angels of God's justice, see Truth clearly. They mete out God's Will. Every cosmic entity, from the smallest submicroscopic speck to the greatest celestial body, depends for its very existence on the power of God. God is Truth.
