Seraphim

Seraphim are heavenly beings depicted in ancient Near Eastern and biblical visions as occupying the immediate space around divine thrones. They are described as having multiple wings and as proclaiming declarations of holiness, highlighting their role in maintaining sacred order. The name is linked to fire imagery, suggesting intensity, purity, and power rather than physical form. Seraphim do not act as messengers or warriors, and instead, they function as attendants whose presence reinforces the separation between the divine realm and ordinary space, marking holiness through continual ritual action.
