#158 The Bible’s Angels Are Way More Hardcore Than You Were Taught

In this episode
Have you seen those viral “biblically accurate angel” images online? They’re haunting—but are they accurate? Joel Settecase dives into Isaiah 6 and Ezekiel 1 to reveal what the Bible actually says about cherubim and seraphim, the heavenly throne guardians who serve, worship, and protect the presence of God.

What you’ll learn

What seraphim really are and why their name means “burning ones.”
How cherubim function as divine throne guardians and attendants.
Why these beings appear with wings, eyes, and even serpent imagery.
What Isaiah’s and Ezekiel’s visions reveal about the holiness of God.
How understanding the spiritual realm shapes your worldview today.

Why it matters
Pop culture has trivialized angels into cute mascots and sentimental symbols—but Scripture describes terrifying, majestic beings created to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. Understanding their purpose gives us a deeper grasp of God’s majesty and holiness—and a renewed call to worship Him with reverence.

Scripture & theology highlights

Isaiah 6:1–7 – Isaiah’s vision of the Lord and the burning seraphim.
Ezekiel 1 & 10 – Cherubim and the wheels within wheels under God’s throne.
Hebrews 1 – Angels serve the Son and worship Jesus Christ as Lord.

Takeaway
The seraphim burn with divine purpose, the cherubim guard God’s holiness, and both point us to the One they serve—the Lord Jesus Christ. If these mighty beings bow before Him, how much more should we, who have been redeemed by His blood, worship Him in spirit and truth.
