__NOTOC__ :''This page concerns the class of angels in the Christian tradition; for other meanings see Throne (disambiguation).'' The Thrones (, pl. θρόνοι; (ラテン語:thronus), pl. ''throni'') are a class of celestial beings mentioned by Paul the Apostle in . According to the New Testament, these high celestial beings are among those Orders at the Christ's service.〔(Colossians 1:14-20 )〕〔(1 Peter 3:21-22 )〕 They are the carriers of the Throne of God, hence the name. According to Matthew Bunson, the corresponding order of angels in Judaism is called the ''abalim'' or ''"arelim''/''erelim'',〔Bunson, Matthew. ''Angels A to Z''. New York:Crown Trade Paperbacks, 1996. ISBN 0-517-88537-9.〕 but this opinion is far from unrivaled. The Hebrew word ''erelim'' is usually not translated "Thrones", but rather "valiant ones", "heroes", "warriors". The function ascribed to ''erelim'' in and in Jewish folklore〔Louis Ginzberg: Legends of the Jews 5:23, n. 64; 5:417, n. 117〕 is not consonant with the lore surrounding the Thrones. The Ophanim (Wheels or Galgallin) is a class of celestial beings, from , that are also equated with the "Thrones" occasionally. They are said to be great wheels covered in eyes. ==Western Wisdom Teachings== Dionysius the Areopagite includes the Thrones as the third highest of 9 levels of angels. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「thrones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
