1. Angels of Purgatory

Purgatory angels generally refer to angels who are polluted by sin, whose pure hearts are no longer pure, and who have been abandoned by God.

In "The Divine Comedy" and "Paradise Lost", the inheritance of history is recorded, and many ghosts from Greek and Roman mythology have also come to hell together, and the battles between gods and betrayers are simply a copy of the war in human history. The more famous ones here and what the author can enumerate, one is the book of Revelation and the Old Testament "Isaiah", which implies that Satan led 1/3 of the angels (133,300,668) to raise the banner of rebellion on the northern border of the heavenly realm, and finally all the rebels were shot down to hell (the canon is written in a cryptic way, and this story is also the structure of the script stated in "Paradise Lost", and the second is that "Genesis" and "The Book of Giants" say that the fall of angels is caused by the coveting of human women, Given birth to giants and condemned (Noah's flood), early commentators explained that 9/10 of the angels were so depraved; There are stories about the latter that may be less familiar to everyone. For this story is only from the book of Enoch, a pseudo-canon of the Bible, which speaks of angels who coveted earthly women, and is later included in the list of fallen angels. As mentioned earlier, there are also the famous angels Asbeel, Samyasa, the so-called watchers; "The open-eyed" and "sleepless", like the hundred-eyed giant in Greek mythology) is an angel who saw the beauty of a human woman created by God, and then intersected with it, giving birth to the evil and mad Nephilim. It is said that these guardian angels are the descendants of 200 angels sent by 200 gods to watch over the human world, and they are giants with a height of 1,350 meters. This story is different from the Old Testament account of the Flood in Genesis. Because of the wrath of God, he instructed Noah to build an ark and flee for his life. The Great Flood wiped out everything on earth and threw the guardian angels into prison. After the Fall, some were imprisoned in the cell on the fifth day. Some were banished to Hell, and only one-tenth were still ministered by God to hell (now earth). The fall of the guardian angels is also believed to be out of good intentions and overstepping the line by wanting to impart all knowledge and skills to humans. It is said that the papal documents published by the Holy See officially defined these caretaker angels as angels of the tenth order.

(1) Guarding angels

thewatchers。 New Testament Genesis 6:2 ("The sons of God saw that human women were attractive. They put their wives whatever they choose"). This serves as a reference to the appearance of fallen angels.

According to the Book of Enoch. Two hundred rebellious angels (i.e., the guardian angels) left heaven and came to earth to be united to mortal women and have children.

(2) The banished angels

Revelation 12:34 of the New Testament mentions that the dragon's tail dragged a third of the stars in heaven and fell to the earth. In the 79th, the dragon and his angel are defeated in the battle against Michael in the heavenly war. They were cast out of heaven and degraded to earth. Therefore, among Christians. Also known as the Banished Angel.

(3) The Eight Fallen Angels

1. Fallen Angel - Azazel

(1) Historical background

The leader of the fallen caretaker angels, the leader of the rebellious angels in Paradise Lost. He is also one of the great demon kings listed in the "Satanic level". The Hebrew word for God is the strongest. Mighty like a god, he completely removed movement and wilderness, and became azael, asiel, hazazel, azel. Its name comes from the demonization of the scapegoat in the Old Testament of the Bible.

The Jews celebrate the 10th of September every year as the Day of Atonement, and the ritual requires blood sacrifice of two goats, the head to the Lord and the other to Azazel to symbolize the redemption of original sin.

According to Jewish legend, he has the personality of a Seraphic Angel or Angel of Wisdom and is the commander of the crowd of watchman angels. He was one of the angels who gave birth to 200 angels in the time of Noah and the Seraphic Angel Sanyangsha and other human women, and was once defeated by the angel Raphael, the reason for which is recorded in the beginning of the eighth chapter of Enoch, the Apocryphal Book of the Old Testament, verses 1-2. After the Nephilim (the guardian angels and giants born of man) wreaked havoc across the land, Azazel, as the commander, was fully responsible.

He is said to have been buried by other archangels in a pit near Jerusalem, sentenced to eternal claustrophobia, and thrown into the lake of fire on the Last Judgment Day.

And in Muslim legend, Azazle, also known as Ibilis, because he refused to lead the guardian angels to serve mankind, said: How can the son of fire worship the son of the earth? Thus he was punished.

The monarch of hell, the tempter of mankind, the guardian of the goats. In hell, because of his primitive high status and power, he was appointed by Lucifer as his right and left hand. According to Jewish tradition, it has seven serpentine heads, fourteen faces, and twelve wings.

And ride on the serpent.

2. Fallen Angel - Ariel

(1) Historical background

The Hebrew word means "God's Courage - Lion of God", which was used by the Jews at that time as a representative noun for Jerusalem, which means "victory by God's protection", that is, it represents God's courage like a lion.

The origin of the angel is more confusing, except that in the Guardian Angel he is one of the seven chiefs and is the lord of the earth, and in Milton Paradise Lost, he is a rebel angel of the fallen angelic side. Jewish folklore has it that he was an angel who ruled over demons, or that he was also an angel of wisdom, and that, like the angel Raphael, he could do healing. Johndee, an occultist during Queen Elizabeth I, regarded Ariel and Uriel and Arnar as one of the archangels of equal status.

Angels of water (or atmosphere).

3, Fallen Angel - Ellsbeth (Asbeel)

Historical Context

His name means "God-forsaken man" in Hebrew, and in the Old Testament apocryphal book of Enoch, Ellsbeth is the mastermind who encouraged angels such as Azazel and Sanyangsa to come down to earth and have sex with human women.

4. Fallen Angel - Samyasa

Historical Context:

Also known as samlazas, shemhazai, uzza, ouza, the king of the heavenly realm in Egypt in Jewish legends, the word means rebel, originally a member of the Seraph, when the Hebrews fled Egypt, they advocated pursuing the Hebrews, and colluded with the dishonorable Rahab and was condemned by God. In the eighth chapter of the book of Enoch, the apocryphal book records that he was the head of the earthly guardian angels in Noah's time, and he also fell because of the memory of the woman in the world, and after staying in the world, he taught mankind medicine, herbs and some magic knowledge. But in the end, his heirs also died because of God's punishment that caused them to kill each other.

The statement of the above two stories seems to say that Samyasa and Uzza are different angels, and it may not be necessary that later generations insist on being one angel. (To be continued......)
