THRONES are the third-ranking order of angels.

They were also known as Wheels and the Many-eyed Ones.

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

They were described in Ezekiel 1:13-19 as having four wings and four faces.

They sparkled like the color of burnished brass.

They had the hands of a man under their wings.

Their wings were joined one to the other and they did not turn when they traveled -they all went straight forward.

They had four faces. They had the face of a man as well as three other faces on their helmets – that of a lion, an ox, and an eagle.

They moved on wheels in the middle of wheels, blue-green in color. Above their heads, the likeness of the firmament, which was the color of crystal, and under this were their wings, two on each side of their bodies.

The noise of their wings was like the noise of great waters.
