Archangels and Lucifer

Archangels and Lucifer

Jegudiel, Selaphiel, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel : They are archangels.

Jegudiel as laudation of god from eastern orthodox culture,

Selaphiel from the second book of Esdras also from Eastern Orthodox tradition,

Michael from Bible is named as the field commander of the army of god (in the vision of Daniel, Michael has been described as the protector of Israel)

Gabriel from Gospel of Luke, also the messenger from god who in Islamic views was the mediul through whom god revealed the Quran to Mohammad. He is considered the chief of the four favored angels and the spirit of truth. Islam says that he is the creator of Holy Spirit.

Raphael from Book of Tobit, (It is God who heals). This angel is also the doctor of medicine thus echoing the healing function traditionally attributed to this angel
Uriel from Book of Enoch.

Islam named Archangels as Gabriel, Michael, Raphael and Azrael. But many have acknowledged several archangels and among them the fallen archangel Lucifer famously known as Satan was an archangel until he rebelled against God who then had Michael cast him down to Hell from heaven. Malakhi Elohim or angels of god or malakhi Adomai or angels of the lord, sons of God and the Holy ones are all considered Angelic Messengers.

Lucifer -the Morning Star tried to rise high over the clouds and begin himself on the mountain where the gods assembled, in the far north, but was cast down into the underworld.

When Allah commanded all of the angels to bow down before Adam (the first Human), Iblis, full of hubris and jealousy, refused to obey Allah's command (he could do so because, as a jinn, he had free will), seeing Adam as being inferior in creation due to his being created from clay as compared to him (created of fire).
"It is We Who created you and gave you shape; then we bade the angels prostrate to Adam, and they prostrate; not so Iblis (Lucifer); He refused to be of those who prostrate."
(Allah) said: "What prevented thee from prostrating when I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire, and him from clay."
Qur'an 7:11–12
It was after this that the title of "Shaitan" was given, which can be roughly translated as "Mischievous" or "Devil". Shaitan then claims that if the punishment for his act of disobedience is to be delayed until the Day of Judgment, that he will divert many of Adam's own descendants from the straight path during his period of respite.Allah accepts the claims of Iblis and guarantees recompense to Iblis and his followers in the form of Hellfire. To test mankind and jinn alike, Allah allowed Iblis to roam the earth to attempt to convert others away from his path. He was sent to earth along with Adam and Eve, after eventually luring them into eating the fruit from the forbidden tree.

Joseph Campbell illustrates an unorthodox Islamic reading of Lucifer's fall from Heaven, which champions Lucifer's eclipsing love for God:
One of the most amazing images of love that I know is in Persian – a mystical Persian representation as Satan as the most loyal lover of God. You will have heard the old legend of how, when God created the angels, he commanded them to pay worship to no one but himself; but then, creating man, he commanded them to bow in reverence to this most noble of his works, and Lucifer refused – because, we are told, of his pride. However, according to this Muslim reading of his case, it was rather because he loved and adored God so deeply and intensely that he could not bring himself to bow before anything else, and because he refused to bow down to something inferior to him (since he was made of fire, and man from clay). And it was for that that he was flung into Hell, condemned to exist there forever, apart from his love.

Rebirth

"Mad hoe blocking my flow but still I’m let you know why I’m ready to hollow

Light up a green herb and slow the time just to knock my mind

Knock some questions up, yeh I got some questions and stuff

Don’t know where to begin and don’t know where should It end

It’s like when its threshold unfolds and it’s out of hold

Yeh it’s just a feeling but it’s really deep

Deeper than the thoughts that made it, some unexplainable shit

I got love for hurt and some hurtful love

Ain’t nothing different about this awful world

Same morning hustle and tiring nights,

Every day on and on some rueful first blood fights

Same wishful thinking for pleasures that keep sinking

While kids be singing and old folks keep drinking

Sick phones keep ringing and why I be always thinking?

Is it a change that is needed or a need that has changed?

Past making future or resentment still caged?

Why there is no trust in the blood that is one?

Why everybody lives for freedom that dies under a gun?

Why we say that god is one when we diversify humanity

It ain’t religion but a reason that can conquer sanity

Dying every day and wishing for rebirth

Is still a dream at least in this world

Even though the sun’s got light in the dark but under the clouds it don’t mean a thing

You can change every day but being born again and doing it different is still a dream

You can read the end of the book or read it in a flash

It don’t make any sense, how you connect two ends is still a test

It’s already blending, how you begin and how you ending

The middle of your life is your job so wait for no angels cause he ain’t sending

You hopeless fuck, this is one dream so where you be lending?

Listen to this modulated rap beat out of my mouth to ya ears that I'm sending

One block a baby just born and the very next block a man just died

It’s a circle of life; a soul once gone has just been given another try"

Lie

I fell upon the very ground that once raised my pulse and made me a man I was before. Lie bruises deeper than flesh and bones as strong as iron crumble in seconds upon the very pillars of faith once entombed.

It is not life but death that decides its final purpose. It is not pain but wounds that define hurt. It is not love but hate that defines compassion and longing towards the same. It is not faith but trust that eludes wisdom towards its crumbling; it is faith and not trust that shatters belief.

It is obvious if the longing for something more than life is eluded by one moment of simple but yet so unobvious words: years of acumen crushes without admonition.

"As I sleep thru the dark times, only to desire rest but no sleep

Dreams yet again forcefully hollowing heart within deep

So death comes in times of prayers

As I lay my gaze upon your sight

I see thru your gaze thru the tears

And memories that were once the future

It is now the fate that cannot be changed

For once what was my crown

Now has departed to rule another kingdom

For what was once my destiny rewarded by gods

Is now my curse laid upon my worthless life

I still see that same face as love betrays my shadow

I still feel the touch as her warmth is my reason to live

I still stand beside my own people as they see what I do

Words once for me are just the rhymes of new roses

And this life as if wild and unchanged yet attached to the underworld

But then reasons, I see an image and I read Hades

I despise angels even thought they stand beside me

I despise life as thought another has to come after this

And I carry hope for the afterlife and my path to the old memories

As if I know what future holds"

The Touch

"And on came the winter and then came the spring

New breeze and flowers and then followed a dream

Soon followed the sun and then came my shade

Into my heart thru the river of fire, a flame came to invade

And then it rained and it rained hell

Clouds of grey horizons and many black nights to tell

But it rained thru the sun and it only rained blue

The world was a different place for both me and you

And then came the nightmare and then came the fall

What was once here was gone never to call

And then came a feeling, a touch made it forever

If it rained again, it will only rain for better"
