Tradition places seraphim in the highest rank in Christian angelology and in the fifth rank of ten in the Jewish angelic hierarchy.
Names of angels, such as Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, signify a particular angelic function rather than an individual being. While living in one's body an individual has conjunction with heaven through the angels, and with each person, there are at least two evil spirits and two angels.
The number of these Seraphim also lines up with Jewish tradition. In Jewish history, they have names: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Jeremiel, Raguel, Zerachiel and Remiel. We also know that Lucifer was once included among them, but lost his rank and position when he sinned and was thrown down to earth.
When the Archangel Lucifer Morningstar began his revolt in Heaven, he was hopelessly outnumbered. He was eventually defeated by his brother the Archangel Michael who used the Demiurgos (God's power) to destroy his angelic forces.

Most religious scholars and historians agree with Pope Francis that the historical Jesus principally spoke a Galilean dialect of Aramaic. Through trade, invasions and conquest, the Aramaic language had spread far afield by the 7th century B.C., and would become the lingua franca in much of the Middle East.
We often refer to Jesus as Jesus Christ, and some people assume that Christ is Jesus's last name. But Christ is actually a title, not a last name. So if Christ isn't a last name, what was Jesus's last name? The answer is Jesus didn't have a formal last name or surname like we do today.

Cherubim and the Four Faces
Cherubim are described in the Bible as having four faces: a face of an ox, a lion, an eagle and a man.
