"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." - Isaiah 6:3
The prophet Isaiah tells us that the seraphim are six-winged angels who surround God as He sits upon His exalted throne and who worship God continually. The seraphim call out to each other in God’s presence, “holy, holy, holy!” The word “seraphim” is the plural form of the Hebrew root word “seraph,” which means, “to burn.” These attendant angels burn with love for God.
The seraphim use a three-fold repetition of God’s holiness. In ancient Judaism, the number three signified completeness and stability.
Yesterday, today and tomorrow. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Raised on the third day.
This hand-carved six-winged necklace pendant folds over itself three times, echoing God's supreme holiness and glory as these heavenly beings do. Also reminiscent of the wings covering the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Holy of Holies, this modern tri-fold depiction of wings whispers the truth that we are the Now-Tabernacle, the tent of meeting: we now find communion with God in the innermost part of our being. We are home of the Holy Spirit in whom he dwells (John 14:17).
