Third Hierarchy

Archai: ("Principalities" or “Rulers”) (lat. principatus, pl. principatūs) also translated as "Princedoms" and "Rulers", from the Greek archai, pl. of arche (see Greek root in Eph 3:10).

Archai are shown wearing a crown and carrying a scepter. Their duty also is said to be to carry out the orders given to them by the Dominions and bequeath blessings to the material world. Their task is to oversee groups of people. They are the educators and guardians of the realm of earth. Like beings related to the world of the germinal ideas, they are said to inspire living things to many things such as art or science. Michael moved up in ranking from Archangel to Archai in 1879.



Archangels:

The word "archangel" comes from the Greek ἀρχάγγελος (archangělǒs), meaning chief angel, a translation of the Hebrew רב־מלאך (rav-mal'ákh). It derives from the Greek archō, meaning to be first in rank or power; and angělǒs which means messenger or envoy. The word is only used twice in the New Testament: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and Jude 1:9. Only Archangels Gabriel and Michael are mentioned by name in the New Testament.

The name of the archangel Raphael appears only in the Book of Tobit (Tobias). Tobit is considered Deuterocanonical by Roman Catholics (both Eastern and Western Rites) and Eastern Orthodox Christians. The Book of Tobit is also read by Anglicans and Lutherans, but not by Reformed Christians or Baptists. Raphael said to Tobias that he was "one of the seven who stand before the Lord", and it is generally believed that Michael and Gabriel are two of the other six.

Archangel Gabriel guides the reincarnating human beings in “Life before Birth” to find the chosen parents (correct stream of hereditary) to incarnate.





Sistine Madonna, also called La Madonna di San Sisto, is an oil painting by the Italian artist Raphael (1483 – 1520). Commissioned in 1512 by Pope Julius II as an altarpiece for the church of San Sisto, Piacenza, it was one of the last Madonna’s painted by the artist. Relocated to Dresden in 1754, the well-known painting has been particularly influential in Germany. Notice that behind Maria and the curtains, there is a sky (heaven) full of baby faces, representing human souls searching reincarnation.



Raphael, self-portrait (1483 – 1520)

In the painting, the Madonna, holding the Christ Child and flanked by Saint Sixtus and Saint Barbara, stands on clouds before dozens of obscured cherubs, while two distinctive winged Cherubim rest on their elbows beneath her. The Cherubim vaguely to be seen in the blue heavens behind Maria are in fact a metaphor for all human individualities looking, with the help of Archangel Gabriel, to reincarnate again.
