Definition:
Seraphim (singular: Seraph) are a high order of celestial beings—often referred to as ministering angels—who serve throughout the universe in a vast array of spiritual, administrative, educational, and protective functions.
According to The Urantia Book and the teachings emphasized in the Correcting Time, Seraphim are dedicated to the spiritual progress of individual mortals, families, societies, and entire planets.
They are beings of profound wisdom, loyalty, and love, operating under the authority of Nebadon’s divine administration, particularly under the guidance of Michael of Nebadon (Christ Michael) and the Mother Spirit.
Their ministry is essential for human growth, morontia transition, and planetary advancement.
