Angels are ranked by wings, going from 2<4<6<8<10<12. Demons are ranked in several ways, from wings similar to the angel ranking to pillars and their strength. Devil's are usually ranked by wings or by horns, each horn being a sin (the devil one I'm not sure about, but roll with it).
In Nomine had the most details Angel-Demon hierarchy and stuffs I ever read. Or let's use the most familiar Angel-Demon Hierarchy we knew: The Hebrew Kaballah ones Maimonides, in his Mishneh Torah or Yad ha-Chazakah: Yesodei ha-Torah, counted ten ranks of angels in the Jewish angelic hierarchy, beginning from the highest according to Sephira - The Tree of Life 1 Chayot Ha Kodesh, Its Chief Archangel: Metatron, Its Sephira: Keter 2 Ophanim, Raziel Chokmah 3 Erelim, Tzaphkiel Binah 4 Hashmallim, Tzadkiel Chesed 5 Seraphim, Khamael Gevurah 6 Malakim, Raphael Tipheret 7 Elohim, Haniel Netzach 8 Bene Elohim, Michael Hod 9 Cherubim, Gabriel Yesod 10 Ishim, Sandalphon Malkuth It's counterpart is Qlipoth - The Tree of Death 1. Reverse Sephira: Thaumiel. It's leader: Satan and Moloch 2. Chaigidel - Beelzebub and Adam Belial 3. Sathariel - Lucifuge 4. Gamchicoth - Astaroth 5. Golachab - Asmodeus 6. Thagirion - Belphegor 7. Harab Serapel - Baal and Tubal-Cain 8. Samael - Adrammelech 9. Gamaliel - Lilith 10. Nehemoth - Naamah
The 9 Ranks of Angels Why Bible Accurate Angels Are So Creepy Ever wondered why Bible accurate angels look so creepy? Instead of those beautiful, angelic, humanoids the bible depicts bizarre animal/human hybrids, fiery winged beasts and wheels made of eyes. It isn't certain, but most believe that they are descendants of mythical beasts across the Ancient Near East. @KargothTheDark What I find fascinating is that demons are usually filled with human characteristics, but most angels are so abstract and alien to us. Very interesting when you consider that demons often represent vices/sins while angels represents virtues. The allegories provide pretty deep insights into our psychology. @KargothTheDark @exoticsamba492 this is not based on movies or paintinga. I base my comments on The Testament of Solomon, Enoch and Ezikiel. The testament of Solomon gives a great description of demons (among other "historical", psychological and theological insights). I belive Enoch and Solomon are canon in Ethiopian orthodoxy, but not in vestern Protestantism and Catholicism. Their crime according to the Bible(and Milton) was following Lucifer and were "cast down". My interpretation is that the closer angels and demons come to humans - the more they appear like us. This is loosely based on the watchers/nephelim, demons and so on. And according to the Bible(I believe it is in exodus around Noah's ark) it is written that angels(and by extension: demons) can mate with humans and produce offspring. It's easy to sin. As it is usually based on the short term. But virtue is hard as it is long term. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. This is simply my interpretation of the texts I've read. Why Aren't Angels Scary Anymore? | Fate & Fabled As beings that mediate between heaven and earth, angels have been the focus of both fascination and fear for centuries. For many of us today, the enduring image of an angel is a winged, benevolent baby or adult sporting a halo. But in the past, they’ve been described as fireballs, forms without substance, or massive beings that collect blood or trumpet the end of time. Where did these archetypes come from and why has that of the winged cherub endured? @lorigoshert6667 A correction and clarification about the Islamic tradition: 1. Iblis is not an angel. He is a jinn, which is a different type of being. 2. Jibril and Gabriel are the same angel - Jibril is simply the Arabic version of Gabriel. @michaelstuart341 Two things: 1:35 the three angels visited Abraham after he was already in the land promised to him by God. They came to tell him that his wife Sarah was to conceive and give birth to a son in a year's time and to give warning of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. 1:58 Cherubim are not small, little babies; they are (as described in Ezekiel chapter 1 verse 5a - 11) "In appearance their form was human, but each of them had four faces and four wings. Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four of them had faces and wings, and the wings of one touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved. Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. Such were their faces. They each had two wings spreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body." Cherubim are also (most likely) the four living creatures depicted in Revelation 4 circling the throne of God, as they have a near-identical description and role (guarding His throne and praising His name).

In this video, our focus is Christian Demonology, one of the few living occult sciences with nearly 2000 years of continuous study and development. And yes, you’re going to learn some weird things. @toxicclan1515 Fun fact: Belphegor was kicked out of heaven by God because he literally laid and watched while the battle of good and evil was happening and also one of the hardest demons to exorcise out because of how lazy it is; the only to not get possessed by it anymore, is for it to get bored and move on, which can take a very long time @ObsessiveMuffin 13:25 I feel something should be added here - Succubus means "to lie under" while Incubus means "to lie above", which could indicate they dont have to strictly be female/male. It could be about the role they assume with their victim.
