The Thrones.

The First Hierarchal Sphere

Heavenly Counsellors: (Old Testament)

The Third Order or Choir in the Hierarchy of Angels according to Dionysius the Areopagite.

 

Hierarchy Angels The Throns froma Russsian IconThe Thrones (Gr. thronos) are a class of celestial beings mentioned by Paul of Tarsus in Colossians 1:16 (New Testament) and related to the throne of God the Father.

They are living symbols of God's justice and authority. The Thrones are the closest of all Angels to spiritual perfection and emanate the light of God with mirror-like goodness.

Despite their greatness, the Thrones are intensely humble, an attribute that allows them to dispense justice with perfect objectivity and without fear of pride or ambition.

As they are living symbols of God's justice and authority, they are called Thrones and have as one of their symbols the throne.

These high celestial beings are mentioned again in Revelation 11:16. They were considered Angels of Justice as they were said to carry out God's decisions.

These Angels were often believed to be deployed like charioteers around the Throne of God.

They sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.

The Thrones (Gr. thronos) may possibly be equated with the Lords of Wisdom, a Hierarchy of Elohim astrologically associated to Virgo, presented in The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception. They inhabit, in Rosicrucian cosmology, the World of Divine Spirit, which is the home of The Father. According to this source, the Lords of Wisdom (here equated with the Thrones; thronos) and the higher Lords of the Flame (Thrones / Wheels: Ophanim) have worked together in a far past toward the development of mankind.
