The Question of Angels

The Question of Angels:

“The ancient Israelite's believed the Ark could summon angels”. Unlike
the christen concept of angels Hebrews believed they were monstrous
creatures that delivered the wrath of God.

It was an Angel that killed the Egyptian first born, when the
Pharaoh wouldn't release the captive Israelite's, and another that
released the torrents of Noah's flood.

It is said that when God sent an Angel to destroy Sodom and
Gomorrah, the devastation was so dreadful that all that was left
was a hole in the ground where nothing would grow or live. All that
was left was a pungent chemical odor.

It is said that Lucifer was supposed to have possessed the “stones
of fire” before he displeased God, but wasn't he an angel before he
was the Devil?

The story of Lucifer fall from grace is not told in the Old
Testament but is told in the Tanak. The Essences relied heavily on
the Tanak and believed they were the followers of the archangels
Michael and Gabriel, they referred to themselves as the “sons of
light.” Light being an allusion to angels.

When Lucifer was banished from heaven he was replaced by Michael
and Gabriel who became the “kings of heaven”.They were the two angels represented on the Ark. The word cherubim in Greek means messenger. Angels were messengers from
God.

Angels do Gods nasty work: the Hebrews called angels lights because
they believed that shooting stars were angels coming to earth to do
Gods bidding. The constellation of the Big Dipper, and the stars
Betenash and Mizar represent the Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
The Bible portrays Lucifer as the original possessor of the stones of
fire, Michael and Gabriel were Lucifer's replacement, the Essene were
alluding to possessing the stones themselves.

If the Essenes possessed the stones then they must have possessed
the Ark because the Ark and the stones were inseparable. It is
thought that Lucifer was the Chief Angel who commanded other
angels from Mount Sinai, and the stones were sewn into Lucifer
garments to protect him from the Arc.

It is thought that the stones of fire could control the divine fire
that came from the Ark of the Covenant. After Moses Exodus from
Egypt God led Moses to Mount Sinai where he gave him the stones
of fire to protect him from the power of the Ark and instructed
Moses on how to build the Ark.

When the Essene were slaughtered by the Romans, in 68AD. They
had been ready for such an event, they had already hid the Dead Sea
Scrolls in a cave in a ravine only assessable by rappelling down from
above, it was hidden from sight and secure.

Some believe the Ark and its stones are also someplace close by,
but the Judean wilderness was extensive and vastly catacomb with
ravines and caves, many undiscovered to this day.

In the book of the prophet Jeremiah, which is thought to be the
original words of the prophet written down by the scribe Baruch
( 3:16) reads: “ the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord: neither shall
it come to mind: neither shall they remember it: neither shall they
visit it.”
