The Bible has some pretty freaky creatures in it, and that is certainly the case for Seraphim. Burning, 6-wings, human-snake hybrids should certainly sound scary, and that is the point of these creatures: to be intimidating and deadly. Listen along as Jodie and Matthew discuss seraphim and how they appear in the Bible - especially in Numbers 21 and Isaiah 6. How are they used, what is their role, and what do we do with such creepy creatures in the Bible?
