I believe I point that out already, not sure how you miss that one.
They are not decoration, they represent the Lord's way. The Lord always have angels around him to do his bidding. Let's take a look at Genesis 3: 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. The tree of life is the Lord and these are real cherubims, the Lord put there to block them. Let's take a look in Isaiah 37:16 O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
Now let's take a look in the future. Let's go in Matthew 25: 31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: So how absolute is all his angels. There's thousand of thousand upon thousands of angels coming with the Lord, so when you read about pictures angels drawing all over, its programming your mind what will be in the future, but in the third heaven where the Lord is right now, its like that. This is another example of the Lord's prayer in Matthew 5: 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in hea
The one who falls in Isaiah 14 can only be a mortal man, a mortal king.
18 All the kings of the nations lie in state,
each in his own tomb.
19 But you are cast out of your tomb
like a rejected branch;
you are covered with the slain,
with those pierced by the sword,
those who descend to the stones of the pit.
Like a corpse trampled underfoot,
20 you will not join them in burial,
for you have destroyed your land
and killed your people.
Let the offspring of the wicked
never be mentioned again.
Isaiah 14:18-20 NIV
This passage is talking about Belshazzar, the last king of Babylon. It could not possibly refer to an angel or a former angel. Isaiah says of this person "you are cast out of your tomb" and "you will not join them in burial." The "offspring of the wicked" is also mentioned. This person has offspring and has a tomb prepared but after being "pierced by the sword" is never placed in his ornate tomb. Instead, his corpse is left exposed. This is not a spiritual being, it is not Satan.
