The Pharisees disparage Jesus by saying he casts out demons by the authority of “the ruler of demons” (Mt 9:34; Mk 3:22, Lk 11:15). The concept of fallen angels derives mostly from works dated to the Second Temple period between 530 BC and 70 AD: in the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees and the Qumran Book of Giants; and perhaps in Genesis 6:1–4. [7] A reference to heavenly beings called " Watchers" originates in Daniel 4, in which there are three mentions, twice in the singular (v. 13, 23), once in the plural (v. 17), of "watchers, holy ones". The Ancient Greek word for watchers is ἐγρήγοροι ( egrḗgoroi, plural of egrḗgoros), literally translated as "wakeful". [8] Some scholars consider it most likely that the Jewish tradition of fallen angels predates, even in written form, the composition of Gen 6:1–4. [9] [10] [a] In the Book of Enoch, these Watchers "fell" after they became "enamored" with human women. The Second Book of Enoch ( Slavonic Enoch) refers to the same beings of the (First) Book of Enoch, now called Grigori in the Greek transcription. [12] Compared to the other Books of Enoch, fallen angels play a less significant role in 3 Enoch. 3 Enoch mentions only three fallen angels called Azazel, Azza and Uzza. Similar to The first Book of Enoch, they taught sorcery on earth, causing corruption. [13] Unlike the first Book of Enoch, there is no mention of the reason for their fall and, according to 3 Enoch 4.6, they also later appear in heaven objecting to the presence of Enoch. Annette Yoshiko Reed Fallen Angels and the History of Judaism and Christianity: The Reception of Enochic Literature Cambridge University Press 2005 ISBN 978-0-521-85378-1 p. 6 The singular form of seraphim is “seraph.” (Hebrew uses “-im” similarly to how we add “-s” to words to make them plural.) The Bible mentions seraphim only twice, both in Isaiah’s grand vision of the Lord in the temple in Isaiah chapter 6. We can only discern a few things about the seraphim from this passage: I don’t know why there would be one prince and multiple kings. It’s possible that princes outrank kings in the celestial hierarchy—or maybe this Prince of Persia was a prize fighter on the battlefield and the kings of Persia were the strategic brain trust. We could speculate on this all day. 7. Rulers, powers, etc.

I wrote The Beginner’s Guide to the Bible to give people a non-preachy, jargon-free overview of what the Bible is, what it’s for, and what it’s all about. You’ll walk away from it with enough knowledge to have a thoughtful conversation about the Bible with a pastor, an atheist, or anyone else. What about Guardian angels? Amira El-Zein Islam, Arabs, and Intelligent World of the Jinn Syracuse University Press 2009 ISBN 978-0-8156-5070-6 p. 45 Unlike most other Churches, the Ethiopian Church accepts 1 Enoch and the Book of Jubilees as canonical. [88] As a result, the Church believes that human sin does not originate in Adam's transgression alone, but also from Satan and other fallen angels. Together with demons, they continue to cause sin and corruption on earth. [89] Neutral angels [ edit ] So here Gabriel is clearly talking about earthly kings. And we know Cyrus was also raised up to do God´s will. So surely they are being strengthened and guided somehow by the good angels, probably Gabriel. Peter Marshall, Alexandra Walsham Angels in the Early Modern World Cambridge University Press 2006 ISBN 978-0-521-84332-4 p. 76Arch-” means “chief,” and the book of Daniel calls Michael a “chief prince” (Dan 10:13; 12:1). So it’s possible that archangels are a rank up from the next kind of angelic being: princes. 5. Princes

I do believe the kings mentioned in Dan. 10:13 are just human kings, and in this case the kings of Medo-Persia. It does not fit the context that suddenly these kings are also fallen angels. Gabriel keeps talking about princes, and chief princes, several times, why suddenly kings? Because part of the responsibility assigned to these good angels is to support and protect the kings; Gabriel was strengthening and protecting Darius the king as seen in Dan. 11:1 Nuriel: which means "Fire of the Lord" and responsible for the hailstorms. Sometimes it manifests in the form of an eagle and is considered protective of pregnant women. In Christian folklore tales about encounters between men and spirits, the spirits were often explained as fallen angels. They would have been cast out of heaven, damned to roam the world as demons, but were not so evil that they were sentenced to hell, like Lucifer and his devils. Yet they were still not as good to remain in heaven. [90] Therefore, they would live between heaven and hell among humans in liminal spaces.Also, Gabriel mentions that Michael was one of the chief princes, one of the archangels, so there are several archangels. Now if no one had the courage to stand with Gabriel to fight the prince of Persia except Michael, it would be more logical to think that Gabriel is also an archangel. Because if no other archangel fights the prince of Persia, how could Gabriel be just a “regular angel” and have the courage to fight.
