The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

we saw there are of great size. We saw the
Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from
the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our
own eyes, and we looked the same to them."
This now brings us to a dilemma inasmuch
as the angels chose their place for or against God
prior to the creation of man. St Thomas Aquinas
points out that angelic knowledge is firsthand,
immediate, and perfect, and that being so, a
decision made is eternally irrevocable. We have
also noted that angels do not have corporal bodies
but can appear in human form. To see this
example we need to reference the Book of Tobit
where we find the archangel, Raphael.
Raphael is one of the seven spirits before
the Throne of God (Tobit 12:14). He seems to be
the angel who protects the family. In this account,
you will see how he saves Raguel’s daughter
Sarah from the wicked demon Asmodeus (Persian
[Farsi] "the destroyer") who has killed seven
husbands before they could consummate the
marriage and how he heals Tobit of his blindness
and helps Tobit's son Tobias to marry Sarah. Then
in the ending chapters 12: 19, he reveals a truth
about his angelic nature saying, “All these days I
merely appeared to you and did not eat, or drink, but
you were seeing a vision.”
Raphael then makes it clear that he cannot
take on solid form but only an apparent one that
seems real to us. In addition, Hebrews 13:2
