OPHANNIM - 4 CARRIERS OF GOD'S GLORY
The Ophannim [plural for Ophan] can be called Angels but are not classifies as Angels; but are a class of celestial beings who along with the Cherubim and Seraphim never sleep but guard the throne of God. [Enoch 17:7, Rev 4:1-9]
They are also part of the Governmental Council of Heaven, [Psalms 82:1] along with the 24 Elders, the Cherubim, Seraphim and Elohim.
They are (4) four in number and are also called “Galgallim”, [singular: galgal] – which is translated as "spheres", "wheels", "whirlwinds"; and refers to the fiery flaming eye-covered wheels seen in (Ezekiel 1) and (Daniel 7:9).
They were positioned next to the Cherubim, beneath the throne of God, and move together with the Cherubim, and sometimes they carry the Cherubim because the spirit of the Cherubim is in them. Both Cherubim and Ophannim are carriers of the throne of God.
This is the description of the Ophannim -Eze 1:16, “The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was the color of beryl, and the four of them had one likeness. And their appearance and their workmanship were like a wheel in the middle of a wheel”.
In the book of 2nd Enoch, it says, Ophannel is one great prince, revered, high, fearful, ancient and strong. He has sixteen faces, four faces on each side, and hundred wings on each side.
The late Second Book of Enoch 20:1, 21:1 also referred to them as the "many-eyed ones".
