An Exorcist Reveals Why Some Humans Will Rank Above Angels in Heaven

Would a human being ever have interaction with a seraphim? >> Their interaction with us is fairly limited. Archangels and angels, those angels are the ones that we will actually have interaction with more than likely. >> God’s special forces. >> Can angels advance in rank? >> No. >> How high you are in heaven in that hierarchy is directly proportionate to how holy you are.

 Human beings can actually take the place of fallen angels up through that rank by becoming holy, very holy, and then they can get a position that would be higher in the ranks. >> Can we talk about the hierarchy? >> Sure. >> What is the hierarchy? >> So, the angels were created in a hierarchic structure, and there is [clears throat] nine choirs broken into what they call ranks.

 So, there’s three ranks. So, it’s kind of like almost like a military in that sense. The very top rank is made of the the seraphim, which is the very top. And each angel is its own species. And as an exorcist dealing with fallen angels, their personalities are so distinct, much more distinct than human personalities.

 And so, you do get a sense of that they’re each specifically different. Um part of that has to do with that if with human beings and also with other animals, a species is different because of the fact that you you there’s something about them called the specific difference that makes this species different from another one. That’s called the specific difference.

With human beings, we don’t have a difference you and I don’t we’re not specifically different. We’re both and what in fact in human beings the specific difference is rationality. You and I are both rational, so we know we have we’re of the same species. What makes us different is what we call accidental quality.

 So, the fact that you’re you know, a bit taller than I am, a bit build bigger build, etc. You have different facial structure, etc. Your race is a little bit different than mine, etc. So, there’s those different qualities make us different as human beings. Angels don’t have that. They don’t have So, it’s matter specifically bodies.

It’s It’s the fact that I have this body and you have that body, which makes us different as human beings. Even though by different I mean in the sense of you’re one human being and I’m one human being, but we’re both of the same species. Okay. Because angels don’t have bodies, as a result of that their specific difference is in their nature, which we can talk about that cuz that itself is fascinating from if we can get to that in relationship to their fall because that may have played a key role in their fall of of some of them. But,

that basically means that every single angel is specifically different. They’re They’re as different as say a grasshopper is from a cow. That’s how different they are. And their their difference So, they’re each is is different. So, those differences are then grouped into nine separate kind of categories, and that’s the choir.

And the what makes one angel different from another is how intelligent they are. So, the very top angel is far more intelligent, and so he can understand things much more universally, much more broadly, and also to much greater depth than the than one that’s all the way at the bottom.

 Even though the lowest angel is far more intelligent than us, nevertheless, there’s this hierarchy and it’s based on intelligence. An important point of that also means that their will is proportionate to how intelligent they are. So, they have a stronger will based upon how intelligent they are. This is why in hell there’s still a hierarchy based upon how strong of a will that they actually have.

 So, Satan has the strongest will because he was from the cherubim, which is the second. So, the top rank is the seraphim. And St. Thomas Aquinas says that their primary function and role was to simply love God. Their whole reason for being was to love him. What exactly do I mean What does that look like? What What is that If you if you were a seraphim, what what is What means What is your daily? >> Yeah, so your whole your whole cuz because he creates each angel with its own natural law, its own natural set of inclinations. So, just as So, for

example, when a human being gets married, we have a natural inclination that when they get married, there’s a joy that they have in the marriage, right? From in being married, if it’s a good marriage, of course. Or we have a natural inclination to eat, so when we eat, we we feel satisfied, etc.

 So, they get a fulfillment in just fulfilling the role or their tasks for which they were created, which is their their nature. So, for them, for the seraphim, it literally means just sitting around and contemplating God for all eternity. Just contemplate and then loving him at the various facets of his goodness. Because God is infinite and even the angelic and and the angelic intellects are limited, it means that for all eternity, they can be looking at a variety of different facets in God and deriving joy and love and loving God for seeing that goodness in him for all

eternity and it’s never exhausted. And that’s what it is for us when we get to heaven, once we get to see God face-to-face. For all eternity, we’ll be learning something new about him and the delight that we’ll get out of that will bring. So, for them, when they see those good things in God, they’re naturally inclined to love him from that perspective.

>> Would a human being ever have interaction with a seraphim? >> Yes, they can at times. Not necessarily in this life. St. Thomas says that their their interaction with us is is fairly limited and has to do with the scope. So, the top rank deals with God. So, the seraphim, their job is to love God.

 The cherubim, their perfections that God gave them was to know God, to know the various aspects of God. That’s why if you look at the patterns of the psychology of Satan, formerly Lucifer, part of Lucifer, too, which we can talk about. His psychological patterns of that of a cherubim, which is what St. Thomas talks about.

 And the reason being is because for him everything revolves around knowledge of beauty ultimately, which is what he was created for. But then and seeing and contemplating that beauty in God. And then the next one is the throne. So the thrones, their job is to take that knowledge about God and what his will is and then propagate that knowledge down through the middle rank.

And so the middle rank is actually their job is administrative. So as an exorcist, even when you get demons that have fallen that are from that middle rank, you rarely see them because their job their that middle rank is really about governance of the those below them and making sure everything is done right.

 So it’s basically middle management type of thing. And God created three different choirs for that. So you have the thrones, principalities, powers, and dominations which are in the middle. And then below that then is the lowest choir of rank and their jobs are the foot soldiers. So the top the middle rank, the top rank contemplates God, the thrones tell them this is what God’s will is, that governance process, the commands and stuff are propagated down through the middle ranks, and then you have the lowest rank that actually executes them. And so

those that lower ranks which also includes archangels and angels, that lower ranks, their job is to actually execute. So that’s those angels are the ones that we will actually have interaction with more than likely. >> God’s special forces. >> Yes, exactly. >> Can angels advance in rank? No. >> Because what their their rank in the hierarchy is fixed.

Well, let me back up just a bit. How high you are in heaven in that hierarchy is directly proportionate to how holy you are. Human beings can actually take the place of fallen angels up through that rank by becoming holy, very holy, and then they can get a position that would be higher in the ranks in in relationship to that.

So, for example, it is the uh tradition of the Catholic Church to believe that Our Lady underneath Christ, that underneath Christ the first one is Our Lady. Then underneath them are the apostles. And then uh also and then St. Joseph, St. um John the Baptist. There’s going to be debate on who’s on the top of that.

 Then the apostles and then the seraphim. So, they’re even above the apostles are even above the seraphim. >> I talk a lot about training, nutrition, and mindset. But, if your sleep is off, you’re leaving a lot on the table. Recovery doesn’t happen while you’re grinding. It happens when you’re asleep. That’s when your body rebuilds, resets, and actually absorbs the work you put in.

 And one of the biggest factors in sleep quality is temperature. If you’re too hot, you end up tossing and turning and not getting deep sleep. That’s why I started using ChiliSleep 2.0 by Sleep Me. ChiliSleep 2.0 is a water-based mattress topper that lets you control your sleep temperature from 55° to 115°, and it works with the mattress you already have.

 I love how simple and effective it is. Plus, the new version has a redesigned dock. It’s quieter, the tank is bigger, and the topper unzips, so it’s easy to wash. And the nightstand remote is huge. Each side of the bed gets its own thermostat. So, if one person runs hot and the other runs cold, you can each set your own temperature.

It even detects when you get into bed and automatically starts your sleep schedule. For me, falling asleep and staying asleep is the whole game. ChiliSleep helps make the room, the bed, and the temperature work for recovery instead of against it. Visit www.sleep.me/srs to get up to $255 off your ChiliPad 2.0 with code SRS.

>> Oh, wow. >> And then other under saints because become holy take the place of different locations. I’ve actually have a I have a case I’m working on right now that part of the reason this woman’s case is dragging out is cuz she has to reach a level of holiness, which she’s getting there.

 She has to reach a level of holiness to take the place of one of the possessors. said had fallen. So, um we can human beings can actually take that. Okay, so what does that mean? Human beings because in this life we can perform actions that merit and therefore increase and raise our place in heaven, we can actually get a higher place in heaven than some of the angels.

But the angels, their holiness is directly proportional to their nature. It’s fixed. They can’t merit anything. And so, that’s why they have one choice and then if they make that choice, their rank in heaven becomes fixed based upon that amount of holiness that they have. So, a human can can become an angel or they can they can they don’t become an angel.

>> top. >> Yeah, they don’t become an angel. They they get into the ranks. They go up through the ranks or through the choirs in the sense of they become holier than an angel and therefore they get their amount of holiness that they have would exceed those angels that are below them and so they’re above them in the the structure in heaven, the authority structure in heaven.

I’ve heard, and I may have this wrong, is there is there will God pick 300 humans for the end times to bat to do his battle against evil? >> Um I’ve heard that theory, but I have not seen the evidence to back it up. >> Okay. >> So, it could be we’ll we’ll we’ll find out. There’s certain things we know about the end like John the that Saint Elijah and Saint Enoch are going to return, that type of thing. So.

>> Let’s talk about the fall. >> Okay. >> What happened?
