The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

            Rophe;  God  who  heals,  and  that  is  his  ministry  to
            Tobit and his family.
                    He also declares that he is one of the seven
            spirits  (Seraphim)  before  the  throne.  The  Holy
            Spirit reveals the mind of God the Father and we
            see  that  in  Gabriel's  ministry  as  God's  Messenger
            Sent Forth; Angel of Proclamation. The same is so for
            Michael, who is, Like unto God. In his original state,
            Lucifer,  the  shining  one  -  angel  of  light  reflecting
            the  Son  as  Word,  Light,  Life,  and  Truth.  Now,
            after his fall, he battles the Son with murder, lies,
            and  darkness  -  the  exact  opposite.  Losing  his
            ministerial title, he now became Devil and Satan.
                    The  "seven  spirits  of  God"  are  in
            Revelation  1:4;  3:1;  4:5;  and  5:6.  Revelation  1:4
            mentions  that  the  seven  spirits  are  before  God's
            Throne. Revelation 3:1 indicates that Jesus Christ
            "holds"  the  seven  spirits  of  God.  Revelation  4:5
            links the seven spirits of God with seven burning
            lamps that are before God's Throne. Revelation 5:6
            identifies the seven spirits with the "seven eyes" of
            the Lamb and states that they are "sent out to all the
            earth."
                    Another  view  is  that  the  seven  spirits  of
            God  refer  to  seven  angelic  beings,  possibly  the
            seraphim or the cherubim. This would fit with the
            numerous  others  angelic  beings  described  in  the
            book of Revelation (Revelation 4:6-9; 5:6-14; 19:4-5).
                    All the angels in the heavenly choirs were
            created  with  a  free  will  to  choose  or  reject  their
                                                   67 | P a g e
