In the Testament of Judah, Judah states that he has received blessing from the Angel of the Presence. In
I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. "Holding" is interpreted as "holding back" the winds.
God's firstborn, the Archangels comprise of four angels of immeasurable power and influence. In order of age, they are Michael, Lucifer, Raphael and Gabriel. Michael is the eldest, and loyal to his father, blindly following him and doing his bidding.
(See Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel, angels often associated with four cardinal directions).
Michael the Archangel is God's most trusted angel and carries out heaven's commands. He is heaven's most powerful archangel. In the Old Testament, Daniel calls Michael “one of the chief princes” and calls him the guardian of the Israelites.
Therefore, the first creation by God was the supreme archangel followed by other archangels, who are identified with lower Intellects. From these Intellects again, emanated lower angels or "moving spheres", from which in turn, emanated other Intellects until it reaches the Intellect, which reigns over the souls.
Michael, Hebrew Mikhaʾel, Arabic Mīkāl or Mīkhāʾīl, also called St. Michael the Archangel, in the Bible and in the Qurʾān (as Mīkāl), one of the archangels. He is repeatedly depicted as the “great captain,” the leader of the heavenly hosts, and the warrior helping the children of Israel.
Cherubim are described in the Bible as having four faces: a face of an ox, a lion, an eagle and a man. Christopher shows through historical evidence how these faces depict different aspects of a king's power, majesty, and intelligence.
The three Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael are the only angels named in Sacred Scripture and all three have important roles in the history of salvation.
For centuries, Angels have been depicted as masculine or androgynous beings. With the rise of Divine Feminine energy on Earth, the feminine aspects of these Angelic beings are now being revealed. The female Archangels, the Archeiai, are here to help you harness your Angelic power and create your own Heaven on Earth.
He is regarded as the archangel of the North, and of the element of Earth. According to the teaching of the modern Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Uriel is the archangel of North and of Earth, and is thus associated with the vegetation of the Earth.
Soon after Alastair's death, it was revealed that Uriel had been trying to break the seals the entire time. He tells Castiel that he was responsible for the deaths of some angels that were once in their garrison, as he wanted their help to free Lucifer, but denied him, which forced his hand.
And then we see the four faces: a man, a lion, an ox and an eagle. The man symbolises the prophet; the lion, kingship; the ox, priesthood and the eagle, fatherhood. The face he listed first, at that point in history, was a man. We also see the four faces spoken of in Revelation.
The four most often depicted in art are: Gabriel, the messenger of God who brought the announcement of Christ's birth to the Virgin Mary; Michael, the dispenser of justice; Raphael, the healer and protector of travellers; and Uriel, the angel of prophecy and wisdom.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is reported to have said that every man has ten guardian angels. Ali ben-Ka'b/Ka'b bin 'Ujrah, and Ibn 'Abbas read these as angels.
The Archangel Michael is especially considered to be the Guardian of the Orthodox Faith and a fighter against heresies. Gabriel in Hebrews means "God is my strength" or "Might of God".
Azrael (/ˈæzriəl/; Hebrew: עֲזַרְאֵל, romanized: ʿǍzarʾēl, 'God has helped'; Arabic: عزرائيل, romanized: ʿAzrāʾīl or ʿIzrāʾīl) is the angel of death in some Abrahamic religions, namely Islam and Christian popular culture.
Azrael is of cosmic size: with his 4,000 wings and a body formed by as many eyes and tongues as there are living human beings, he stands with one foot in the fourth (or seventh) heaven, the other on the razor-sharp bridge that divides paradise and hell.
The Israelite cherubim are described as fulfilling a variety of functions – most often, they are described as bolstering the throne of Yahweh. Ezekiel's vision of the cherubim also emulate this, as the conjoined wingspan of the four cherubim is described as forming the boundary of the divine chariot.
In Christian angelology the seraphim are the highest-ranking celestial beings in the hierarchy of angels. In art the four-winged cherubim are painted blue (symbolizing the sky) and the six-winged seraphim red (symbolizing fire).
Tom Ellis portrays Michael in the fifth season of the live-action Fox/Netflix series Lucifer, as the brother of Lucifer Morningstar.
My hope is that once you read Mary 153, Mother of the Angels, your eyes and mind will see and comprehend what your eyes may have once missed.
Angels are sons of God. Believers are spiritual sons of God and will be bodily resurrected to become sons of God. Christ is the only Son of God. “Son of God” was a standard term used throughout the ancient world by leaders like Alexander the Great to establish authority over regions.
