Seraphs are extremely powerful Celestial beings. Zachariah is a Seraph, and possibly the only one in Supernatural. Angel Killing Blades can kill a Seraph.5.18 Point of No Return Zachariah was killed with an Angel Killing Blade. Angels. hold Seraphim in high regard.
A Seraph is a type of angel mentioned in both the Hebrew Bible and in the Christian ranks of angels Source. The description Zachariah gives of his true form is in keeping with the Hebrew Bible's description of the Seraph Angel:
"... I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and His train filled the Hekhal (sanctuary). Above Him stood the Seraphim; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew."
– , Isaiah (6: 1-3)
The Seraphim make their first Christian appearance in the Book of Revelation iv. 6-8, where they are forever in God's presence and praising Him constantly: "Day and night they never stop saying: 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.'"
The Seraphim and the Cherubim are, in Christian theology, two separate types of angels. The descriptions of the Seraphim, Cherubim and Ophanim are often similar, but still distinguishable.
