From Wikipedia:
The word angel in English is a fusion of the Old English word engel (with a hard g) and the Old French angele. Both derive from the Latin angelus which in turn is the romanization of the ancient Greek ἄγγελος (angelos), “messenger”.[1] The earliest form of the word is the Mycenaean a-ke-ro attested in Linear B syllabic script.
God’s messengers… Heavenly beings… Guardians… Spiritual guides. However you view them, people have been fascinated by angels from time immemorial. Their history and categories are far too involved to go into here but you can really get lost in all the fascinating folklore, not to mention the beautiful art that’s been born of angelic inspiration. Here are some of the more famous angels and their tasks:
- Malachim (translation: messengers), general word for angel
- Michael (translation: who is like God), performs God’s kindness
- Gabriel (translation: the strength of God), performs acts of justice and power
- Raphael (translation: God Heals), God’s healing force
- Uriel (translation: God is my light), leads us to destiny
- Seraphim (translation: the burning ones), protects the gates to the Garden of Eden
- Malach HaMavet (translation: the angel of death)
- HaSatan (translation: the prosecutor), brings people’s sins before them in the heavenly court
- Chayot HaKodesh (translation: the holy beasts)
- Ophanim (translation: arbits) Astrological Influence
- HaMerkavah (translation: the chariot), transports God’s glory
Then, of course, there are the fallen angels, of whom Lucifer is the most famous.
