It's a *job description*, just like you are a woman who takes on the role/function of an *entrepreneur*. These are spiritual beings, the “host of heaven” who surround God. A "divine council" is revealed in Psalm 82 and Job 1: 6.

Angels and demons actually occupy a low rank among divine beings. The higher-ranked ones don't leave the heavenly realms (unless ordered by God). Some are the "guardians of the throne" of God and his presence (i.e. - cherubim).
