| Here's a thought on Seraph:
In Isaiah 6:1-2 'In the year the king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above is 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.'
6:5-7 'Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undoone; because I am a aman of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts. Then flew on of the Seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.'
Plus I read somewhere that Seraphim is Hebrew for cleansing/burning. Perhaps that's why Seraph is glowing and 'burning' and he gave Neo, the One, a test (of fire perhaps?) to see if he truly is who he is. by fighting Seraph with hand to hand (touching?) he is cleansed and purified. hehe cool eh.
Plus you can see the Seraphims hovering the throne of the Lord as if guarding it. Well, they are guarding it. Hence Seraph's protecing 'which is most important'. |
