Until, in a divine dream, the archangel commands that his namesake actually save a life— Michael’s only hope for saving his own. I am Mark Anthony DiBello, the writer of The Archangel. This is how the book: The Archangel came into existence. It is based on three true stories...not one, not two, but three true stories. One day, in the 1970s, God spoke to me. It was through His archangel Michael that the Creator of the Universe said: “You are to write an action-adventure version of the Bible...” The Archangel is inspired from the true story of the Bible. Michael is God’s messenger; and life’s savior has been The Archangel. Hebrews 12:7 “You have made him a little lower than the angels. You have crowned him with glory and honor, and have set him over the works of Your hands.” “...Him?” Life has a higher THE ARCHANGEL – CHAPTER OUTLINE Savior: God Himself.

MICHAEL THURSDAY, EVENING - APRIL 13, 2000 The Archangel’s main divisions (chapters) are eleven days in the life of Michael Roman. MICHAEL is the initial subdivision. By listing the day, date, and relative time, the book reads like a journal; and the incidences in Roman’s life serve as a “blueprint for life.” Michael Angelo Roman is the main character.

  • Divine Principle & Angels (V1.6)
    Divine Principle & Angels Introduction v 1.6 Recense of an Angel Artist Benny Andersson Introduction • This is an attempt to collect what the Bible and Divine Principle and True Father has spoken about Angels. • Included is some folklore from the Unif. movement. You decide what’s true. Background • The word angel in English is a blend of Old English engel (with a hard g) and Old French angele. Both derive from Late Latin angelus "messenger of God", which in turn was borrowed from Late Greek ἄγγελος ángelos. According to R. S. P. Beekes, ángelos itself may be "an Oriental loan, like ἄγγαρος ['Persian mounted courier']." • Angels, in a variety of religions, are regarded as spirits. They are often depicted as messengers of God in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles and the Quran. • Daniel is the first biblical figure to refer to individual angels by name, mentioning Gabriel (God's primary messenger) in Daniel 9:21 and Michael (the holy fighter) in Daniel 10:13. These angels are part of Daniel's apocalyptic visions and are an important part of all apocalyptic literature Orthodox icon from Saint Catherine's Monastery, representing the archangels Michael and Gabriel. Along with Rafael counted as archangels of Jews, Christians and Muslims. • The conception of angels is best understood in contrast to demons and is often thought to be "influenced by the ancient Persian religious tradition of Zoroastrianism, which viewed the world as a battleground between forces of good and forces of evil, between light and darkness." One of these "sons of God" is "the satan", • a figure depicted in (among other places) the Book of Job.

    A N G E L S (amemJam¿) 1. Brief description 2. Nine orders of Angels 3. Archangels and Other Angels 1. Brief description of angels * Angels are spiritual beings created by God to serve Him, though created higher than man. Some, the good angels, have remained obedient to Him and carry out His will. Lucifer, whose ambitions were a distortion of God's plan, is known to us as the fallen angel, with the use of many names, among which are Satan, Belial, Beelzebub and the Devil. * The word "angelos" in Greek means messenger. Angels are purely spiritual beings that do God's will (Psalms 103:20, Matthew 26:53). * Angels were created before the world and man (Job 38:6,7) * Angels appear in the Bible from the beginning to the end, from the Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation. * The Bible is our best source of knowledge about angels - for example, Psalms 91:11, Matthew 18:10 and Acts 12:15 indicate humans have guardian angels. The theological study of angels is known as angelology. * 34 books of Bible refer to angels, Christ taught their existence (Matt.8:10; 24:31; 26:53 etc.). * An angel can be in only one place at one time (Dan.9:21-23; 10:10-14), b. Although they are spirit beings, they can appear in the form of men (in dreams – Matt.1:20; in natural sight with human functions – Gen. 18:1-8; 22: 19:1; seen by some and not others – 2 Kings 6:15-17). * Angels cannot reproduce (Mark 12:25), 3.

  • Catholic Teaching About Angels and Spiritual Beings
    Adult Catechism Class May 4, 2015 Part 1: Scripture Readings: Revelation 4:8: And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and inside. Day and night without ceasing they sing, “Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to come.” Revelation 5:11-12: Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders; they numbered myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, singing with full voice, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!” Luke 20:35-36: But those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. Indeed they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection. Part 2: What is an Angel? An angel is a pure spirit created by God. The Old Testament theology included the belief in angels: the name applied to certain spiritual beings or intelligences of heavenly residence, employed by God as the ministers of His will. The English word "angel" comes from the Greek angelos, which means 'messenger'. In the Old Testament, with two exceptions, the Hebrew word for "angel" is malak, also meaning 'messenger'. Although the word "angel" in the Bible, meaning a messenger, nearly always applies to heavenly beings, it can occasionally apply to human messengers.

  • Archangel Spiel
    Jay French Presents...The Archangel Series © Camael The Judgement of God Also Chamuel, Kemuel, Shemuel, Seraphiel, Camiel, Camiul, Khamael, Camniel, Can- cel and Jahoel, he is a lesson in duality, being an angel of both Divine Love and Divine Justice. He is reputed to be the angel who holds the monster Leviathan in check. Camael presides over war, joy, happiness, contentment, and justice. He is Chief of the Order of Powers, one of the holy Sefiroth, an angel of the Presence, and ruler of the 3rd Heaven. He is depicted as wearing an iron helmet, green armor plates and a red tunic. According to my research (which although it was vast, is not foolproof), here are the translations of what I believe to be the Hebrew words on the seal: ΧΑΜΑΕΛ CAMAEL Means: “He Who Sees God” ΜΙΛΧΗΑΜΑΗ MILCHAMAH War The Signature of Archangel Camael name of the ΑΤΗΑΝΑΤΟΣ ATHANATOS A name of God Tuesday 3rd Heaven ΣΑΒΑΟΤΗ SABAOTH “Armies of the Lord” Machon About The Series Based on a combination of Christian, Judaic & Islamic legends & history, I was inspired to render these mysterious creatures in their more mysterious and dramatic light. All too often angels are depicted as “cute” or “docile”, and I wanted a view of the warriors, the secret-keepers, the guides and messengers. Of course, this does fall under my basic love of archetypes, but my methodology reflected my thoughts to some degree, in that I wanted to capture the timeless conundrum of the angel concept. The particular class of Archangels seemed the best route for this thought, as most people are familiar with the big names, Michael and Gabriel.

  • Weaving a Story
    Weaving1 a Story Chapter 1: Weaving A Story What makes something Evangelion? It may seem like a strange question, but it is one that GMs should think about at least once before running a game of AdEva. Neon Genesis Evangelion doesn’t need to answer for itself, but any attempt to replicate the feel of the source material requires the GM to understand what they are trying to imitate. Creating their own cast of characters, Angels, and plotlines, it is inevitable that the campaign will deviate from what was shown in the show. This is to be expected, and even encouraged! Customizing your game to your group and your story can be central to a good AdEva campaign. With that in mind, it is important for the GM to understand the formula that makes a game like that of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The Evangelions themselves are an ingredient to that dish, but not the only one. In some ways, they are not even the most important one. At its heart, any game that seeks to emulate the style, if not the setting, of Evangelion will find itself dependent on the following concepts. Mythos: An obfuscating terminology based on a common theme, such as mythology. Second Impact: The world having already suffered a majority calamity. Stakes: The fate of the world being at stake for most, if not all, battles. Machina Diabolis: The machines used to save the world being dangerous and secretive. AT Fields: The existence of the Absolute Territory Field. Conspiracy: A sinister plot of global proportion operating in the shadows.
