Maybe not. But one way or another, the formation is referred to as the Four Tiers of Kefka.

It seems to me that Kefka is just the evil incarnate, the destroyer not the creator. In the SNES version (which I played) Kefka seems to be a demonic figure, a fallen angel. I thought the Roman style dress was interesting too, kind of brings us back to the point made earlier about Caligula.

:begin rant: I think there is strong Hindu religious symbolism in FF6. I believe that Hinduism has three gods. Vishnu the protecter, Brahma the Creator, and Shiva the destroyer. Poltergeist is the protector, Doom the destroyer, and Goddess the creator. Kefka absorbs the powers of Creation, Destruction, and Protection to become a god greater than those supreme three. Since (i think) Hinduism has no supreme god, they switch to Christianity and depict Kefka as a Seraphim. It's really not fair to assume that only Christian symbolism could be in FF6, especially considering that it was made in an oriental nation and not a western nation. I am an Aethiest with a working knowledge of many religions and no bias for or against any particular one. I just thought it might add credibility to my statements to show that I have an impartial viewpoint.
