Are The Seraphim Evil Spirits?
Mike,
This is fascinating learning. Seraphims are serpents! When we read verses like this:
1Sa 16:1 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.Are principalities, powers, spiritual wickedness, fowls, evil spirits, serpents and Satan all these beings called Seraphim?
In Christ,

Hi M____,
Thank you for your question. You ask:
Are principalities, powers, spiritual wickedness, fowls, evil spirits, serpents and Satan, are all these beings called Seraphim?
No, the seraphim are not principalities, powers, spiritual wickedness, fowls, evil spirits, serpents and Satan. But seraphims, at one time were all these things. Just as there are ‘beasts’ around the throne of God which are no longer ‘ wild beasts,’ so also the seraphim are no longer harmful serpents, and yet just as the beasts remind us that we are of the ground, so too, the seraphims remind us all that we were all, at one time “of our father the devil.”
Joh 8:31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;
Joh 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed: yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
Joh 8:45 But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.
You and I were “those Jews which believed on Him and yet want to kill Him.” It is the same to this very day. Those who claim Christ’s name, despise His doctrine of love, and tell you to kill your enemy even as they claim to be the ministers of the gospel of Jesus.
That is where we have all been in our appointed time.
Remember “there is one event to all… all things come alike to all,” and “all thing are ours.” It is all simply a matter of God’s timing.
Ecc 9:2 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as [ is] the good, so [ is] the sinner; [ and] he that sweareth, as [ he] that feareth an oath.
1Co 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
1Co 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
1Co 3:23 And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
All that Adam is, is in us all, and it must all be burned out. That is the “one event to the righteous and to the wicked.”
That is why anyone who tells you that you will be raptured away from God’s wrath upon your unrighteousness and ungodliness (Rom 1:18), has either forgotten or has never known the principle of “the sum of thy word is Truth.”
Psa 119:160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever.
It does not say ‘some of thy word is truth,’ it does say “the sum of thy word is Truth,” and that means that mankind will “live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Mat 4:4).
I hope this helps your understanding.
Your brother in Christ.
Mike
