As penance for not closing Bible study with a prayer today, I researched the Heavenly Host because of something that came up (a pun, actually, but you had to be there). Boy, were they hard to track down. Must be getting ready for something. Anyway ....
The word seraphim does not mean "Angels without feet" (referencing the aforementioned pun) and it does not appear in the NIV Bible. Instead it uses the word seraphs (from the Hebrew form). Seraphim is found in the King James Version (and the New(er) King James Version) as follows:
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
They weren't revealed in Revelations, though. Or any other book, really, unless you want to get all Wesleyian and jump into the Book of Enoch.
The Catholic Encyclopedia has a nice article about the Seraphim. Including a statement that non-Catholic Christians don't exactly believe in actual Seraphims, just symbolic ones. Could they mean the one I put on the top of my Christmas tree? Could they mean my little angel, Lydia? Could they just be, well, mean? And if they aren't regular mean, does that make them deviant mean?
Okay, enough of the math humor ... Let's go for unintentional humor.
By looking at the adverts that came up on that site I'd say that Heaven must be briming with Seraphim because they are on sale and you can get free shipping (probably by UPS - Unction Penance System). Let's order some!! Collect a whole set!!
Have an angelic day!
