ANGELSHierarchy of Angels
Traditionally this has been held to relate to an order of ranks, an immutable structure of authority, but this is a very Earth bound and mundane view.
Angels do not see themselves as separate individuals in the way humans do and this Hierarchy is held to be more of a way of defining the functioning of the Angelic realms for human understanding.
This has been almost impossible to explain because discussion gets too esoteric. All is one and one are all. I've found that some physicists seem to understand what is meant quite well.
Some lists have a different order
A traditional hierarchy of angels is ranked from lowest to highest into the following nine orders, or choirs: Angels, Archangels, Principalities, Powers, Virtues, Dominions, Thrones, Cherubim, and Seraphim.
