Accordingly, the aim of the sign is to mark and to make known something God wishes to communicate or dramatize to His natural creation. Semeion signs can be discerned in nature, the earth, the heavens, and the creatures. They can be observed in ministers and ministry activities. Semeion signs can be detected in human and earthly events such as the rise of a particular leader, the onset of crises or calamities, or in the tides and trends of society. The Bible is the best source for understanding semeion occurrences and their clues to the future. Christ gave us a list of signs that we could study to know the times of His second coming.

Seraphim appear originally in the form of the dragon before its mutation, due to Lucifer’s rebellion against the Almighty. They are a higher class of angelic being. Seraphim are more living creatures as distinguished from the angels and the cherubim, the class of supernatural creatures from which Lucifer was formed. Their description seems to be somewhat draconic with six wings. In nature and appearance, the seraphim are engulfed within and without with holy flames that purify and empower their service to the Most High. In addition, they appear androgynous and exhibit several personalities in relationships with one another at once. These serve as the first of God’s holy temple ministers and are generally confined to His sanctuary as part of His eternal priestly staff in heaven. Seraphim were considered to be fiery red in color. In contrast, cherubim are not noted for being fiery although they, too, are imbued with the glory of the Holy God. It is cherubim that adorn the ark and the other figures in ancient Israeli décor.
