Iron and Myth 16: Hierarchy of the Spirit Realm

What’s the difference between angels, cherubim, and seraphim? Who are the Watchers, and can a messenger angel, a malak, be promoted to the rank of Watcher?We’re joined for our monthly Iron and Myth roundtable by Brian Godawa, award-winning screenwriter and best-selling author; Pastor Doug Van Dorn, author of Giants: Sons of the Gods and The Angel of the LORD; and Director of the Institute of Biblical Anthropology Dr. Judd Burton, author of Interview With the Giant: Ethnohistorical Notes on the Nephilim. We discuss rank in the spirit realm based on terms used in the Old Testament—malakim (angels), cherubim, seraphim, and Watchers—and try to make some sense of the unseen realm.
