Seraphim Identical with Cherubim

In Isa. vi. 2, these cherubic symbols are styled seraphim. "I saw the Adonai," saith he, "sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. SERAPHS stood near to it. ... And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, YAHWEH TZ’VAOTH (He who shall be hosts): the whole earth (shall be) full of his glory." There is no obscurity about the etymology of seraph. It signifies burning, fiery, deadly. The fiery serpents sent among the people (Num. xxi. 6) are styled by Moses seraphim. By the saints, the seraphim and cherubim of Messiah’s throne, the whole earth is to be filled with his glory. Being incarnations of Spirit, they will be more than a match for all the powers of the world. They will cast down their thrones, overthrow Babylon, waste the land of Assyria, reap the harvest of the earth, tread the winepress of wrath, and as a stream of devouring fire destroy the body of Daniel’s fourth polity with their burning flame.
