Within the New Testament, demons are not described as fallen angels. ◦ The tradition of fallen angels comes from the Book of Enoch.

Intellectual Mysticism in the Visión Deleitable
religions Article “El entendimiento con el qual me conoscan”: Intellectual Mysticism in the Visión Deleitable Michelle M. Hamilton Center for Medieval Studies, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA; [email protected] Received: 6 October 2019; Accepted: 17 December 2019; Published: 20 December 2019 Abstract: Visión deleytable is a fictional tale based in the Aristotelian philosophical and Neoplatonic mystical beliefs of the Judeo-Arabic tradition of medieval Iberia. This fifteenth-century work of imaginative fiction, a “best-seller” among Iberian readers, tells of the ascent of the active intellect to the celestial spheres and an experience of God. In this narrative, knowledge of the Latin trivium and quadrivium are combined with that of the Arabo-Andalusi philosophic traditions. Particularly noteworthy is the author, De la Torre’s extensive use of Maimonides’ work, the Guide of the Perplexed, as a source for the wisdom revealed in the Visión deleytable. While Maimonides’ position on the mystic experience is debated by contemporary scholars, in the present study I explore how the concept of intellectual mysticism, applied to the Neoplatonic/Aristotelian model of the intellect’s conjunction with the divine as found in Maimonides’ work, also describes the goal toward which the protagonist (and reader) of the Visión deleytable strive. As such, the Visión deleytable reveals how this notion of human-divine union (most notably in the concept of the “prophet-angel”) from the Judeo-Andalusi tradition, transmitted in Arabic and Hebrew, was translated into Spanish and adopted into the Catholic and converso frameworks of the Visión deleytable in fifteenth-century Iberia. Keywords: spanish medieval literature; converso literature; Maimonides; early print works; alfonso de la torre; spanish intellectual history; manuscript studies; prophecy; andalusi philosophy; spanish allegory Alfonso de la Torre’s Visión deleitable (Visión), composed c.

Higher ranks may be asserted to have greater power or authority over lower ranks, and with different ranks having differences in appearance, such as varying numbers of wings or faces. Abrahamic faiths The Assumption of the Virgin by Francesco Botticini at the National Gallery The Jewish angelic hierarchy is established London, shows three hierarchies and nine orders of angels, each with different in the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, Rabbinic characteristics. literature, and traditional Jewish liturgy. They are categorized in different hierarchies proposed by various theologians. For example, Maimonides, in his Mishneh Torah or Yad ha-Chazakah: Yesodei ha-Torah, counts ten ranks of angels. The most influential Christian angelic hierarchy was that put forward by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite in the 4th or 5th century in his book De Coelesti Hierarchia (On the Celestial Hierarchy).

Worlds Before Adam an Excerpt from an Authoritative Torah View on UFO’S, Aliens & Extraterrestrial Life
KosherTorah.com Worlds before Adam An excerpt from An Authoritative Torah View on UFO’s, Aliens & Extraterrestrial Life by HaRav Ariel Bar Tzadok Copyright © 1995 by Ariel bar Tzadok. All rights reserved. Pre-Adamites Rabbi Yisrael Lifshitz, the author of the authoritative commentary to the Mishna, Tiferet Yisrael, addresses the topic of pre-adamic life in the introduction to the eleventh chapter of Tractate Sanhedrin. Drawing upon what was the scientific discoveries of his day, and the Darwinian conflict on creationism and evolution, Lifshitz points out that the Torah does acknowledge the existence of dinosaurs. These were the creations of the prior Shemita, he says. Not only this, but Rabbi Lifshitz goes further to say that Adam was not really the first human being, but that there were countless people before him, which he calls pre-Adamites. This controversial view of Rabbi Lifshitz has placed his commentary and other written works on the taboo list in certain Jewish circles which considered his revelations not in accordance with the spirit of Judaism. But nothing could be further from the truth. There are some Kabbalists such as Rabbi Yehuda Fatiyah who, in his Beit Lehem Yehuda (2,66A), wrote questioning certain aspects of the doctrine of the Shemita. Yet even Rabbi Fatiyah, in Minhat Yehuda (pg. 222), expounds on a section of the Zohar which speaks of the pre-Adamic parents of Adam. He even states that Adam’s parents copulated on the spiritual plane that his mother conceived and gave birth to Adam’s body which, as I referenced earlier, was completely astral.

Angels Abstract Jewish tradition considers angels to be messengers of God, but holds that they must not be substituted for God. Isaiah 63:9 speaks of the angel of God's divine countenance—an important designation in Jewish mysticism that has variously been taken to mean the archangel Metatron, the Shekhinah (or immanent divine presence), or the redeeming angel and was understood by some to be an extension of God and a manifestation of the Holy Spirit. The Talmud (Hagigah 13b) declares that each divine angelic legion is formed of a million members, but that the legions themselves are numberless.
