Word of the Day - 11/11/2008

Alated

Alated means having wings; winged.

In a vision, the prophet Isaiah saw the Lord sitting on a throne with alated seraphim standing above the deity.

Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. (Isaiah 6:2, NASB)

Note: This painting, "The Prophet" by contemporary German artist Ulrich Leive, depicts Isaiah 6.
