Abdiel - The name of Abdiel is first mentioned in the Bible (1st Chronicles), where Abdiel is mortal and a resident of Gilead. However, thereafter in history and literature, Abdiel (meaning "servant of God") is an angel.


During the War in Heaven, Abdiel was the only angel under Satan's command who refused to rebel against God. Blasphemously making himself a mountain throne in heaven, Satan first had to talk his subordinates into following his scheme for a rebellion. Speaking to an assembly of the angels under him, Satan blasted his followers for obeying God, calling their loyal service a nasty "prostration" and saying that they were really meant to rule, not to be servile underlings. Abdiel, however, heckled Satan, saying that the idea of a created being rebelling against his Maker was crazy - like a puppet turning against the puppet-maker who held its strings. Abdiel argued that Satan had to be weaker than God since God created him. Satan shot back that, no, he was not a created being - which was another lie from the Father of Lies. Abdiel just says no - flying away, leaving his more impressionable colleagues behind to be manipulated and tricked in to going along with Satan's cosmic error. The complete tale is told in Puritan John Milton's 12 volume epic poem Paradise Lost.

Azazel - was one of the chieftains of the two hundred fallen angels who, according to the Book of Enoch, came to earth to mate with mortal women (Gen. 6:2-4). Azazel, it is said, taught men how t fashion weapons and introduced women to such thins as cosmetics (thus encouraging vanity). He is mentioned by name in the book of Leviticus (16L8-10), where he appears to have been some sort of a desert creature to whom the ancient Israelites dedicated their scapegoats containing the sins of the nation.


In ancient folklore, Azazel is one of 200 lustful angels who descended to earth to have sex with attractive mortal women - thus falling from grace. Azazel compounded this offence against God by teaching forbidden knowledge. Helping him here was the angel Gadreel, who taught humans how to make weapons, as well as other fallen angels teaching similar forbidden subjects like the vanity of cosmetics and how to write. (See Semjaza) Azazel started out as the name of a vague Old Testament desert creature.

Each year, on the Day of Atonement, the Hebrew high priest sent this creature a scapegoat. But before dispatching the goat into the desert, the high priest symbolically loaded down the animal with all of Israel's sins for that year - thus purifying the Jewish people. Eventually, Azazel became a fallen angel in the eyes of Hebrew mystics.

Azbuga(h) - One of the 8 great throne angels of judgment who clothes with the garment of righteousness those deemed worthy among the new arrivals in heaven.

Azer - Angel of the element fire.

Azrael - The Angel of Death who is "forever writing in a large book and forever erasing what he writes: what he writes is the birth of man, what he erases is the name of the man at death."


The Islamic angel of death with four faces, who is covered with a million veils as he flies on four wings. If you could look under the veils, you would see a body completely covered with innumerable eyes - one eye for each living person. Every time one of Azrael's eyes blinks, a mortal is dying somewhere in the world.

Azrael keeps a roster listing of names of all human beings, but he does not know when individual deaths will happen. When the time for a particular person's death has come, Allah lets a leaf drop from the tree below His Throne - on which is written the name of the person to die. Azrael then reads the name and separates the soul from the person's body after 40 days. Sometimes a mortal resists the separation, thought. To help things along, Azrael will sometimes fly back to Allah to get an enticing apple from Paradise to show the reluctant mortal.

According to one Islamic legend, Azrael go his job as the angel of death by helping Allah create Adam. According to this story, Allah had originally sent off the angels Djibril (Gabriel), Mikal (Michael) and Israfel - not Azrael - to earth on a mission to facilitate the creation. The trio was supposed to gather up different types of clay for Allah to use in making Adam.

However, the earth refused the soil, warning the angelic trio that the new creature would rebel against his Maker and bring misfortune to earth. Therefore, the trio came back to heaven without the variously colored soils. An unhappy Allah then turned to the hard-nosed Azrael to get the soil. Azrael wouldn't take and earthly no for an answer. In the end, Allah rewarded the determined Azrael for his successful mission by putting him in charge of the sometimes tough job of splitting off dying people's spirits from their bodies.
