The Bible mentions the Thrones angelic rank (as well as the principalities and dominions) in Colossians 1:16:

They are angels who have direct access to God’s throne in heaven, that is the thrones angels, the cherubim, and seraphim, exude light so bright that it’s compared to fire or gemstones that reflect the light of God’s glory in his dwelling place. The lower Choir of Angels need the Thrones to access God.

Dominions are Angels of Leadership. Members of the dominion angelic choir regulate the other angels and supervise how they perform their God-given duties.
Dominions also often act as channels of mercy for Godโs love to flow from him to others in the universe.

Virtues work to encourage human beings to strengthen their faith in God, such as by inspiring people and helping them grow in holiness. They often visit Earth to perform miracles that God has empowered them to perform in response to peopleโs prayers. Virtues also watch over the natural world God has created on Earth.

Members of the powers choir engage in spiritual warfare against demons. The Powers confront and fight against any evil forces opposed to Godโs providential plan. Again, reference is made to these choirs in Colossians 1:16:

They also help human beings overcome the temptation to sin by giving them the courage they need to choose good over evil.

The principality angels encourage people to pray and practice spiritual disciplines that will help them grow closer to God. They work to educate people in the arts and sciences, communicating inspiring ideas in response to peopleโs prayers. Principalities also oversee the various nations on Earth and help deliver wisdom to national leaders as they face decisions about how best to govern people.
