Angels and Demons: Spirit of Repentance and Hope

The heavens will not be filled with those who never made mistakes but with those who knows that they were doing wrong and try to fix that. Angel Orphiel is a spirit of repentance and hope. He is the fourth angel after Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel in the Book of Enoch written by the great-grandfather of Noah. Orphiel means - the face of God. Other versions are Phanuel, Peniel, Orfiel, etc. He is a member of the four Angels of Presence otherwise Archangels. He is believed to be an angel of exorcism as well as penance and self-punishment. Christian dogmatic tradition states that he will fight the Antichrist or the demon of lies during the Armageddon and win. Ironically, in religious art he is depicted with an accent on his eyes, which is supposed to characterize him watching over God’s kingdom, as well as watching people and their sins. That was a literal understanding what angels do for our ancestors. Nevertheless, the church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversation.

The world is full of men who want to be right, when actually the secret of a man's strength and his ability to admit fault when he went on the wrong way. Repentance is a remedial work to fix our minds and hearts, which get bent by sin. Nothing erases the past. There is repentance, there is atonement, and there is forgiveness. That is all, but isn't it enough? The Greek word for repentance literally means - to perceive afterwards. However, in the New Testament it is translated as - changing the way of life by altering of thought and attitude. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is enigma, today is a gift of hope, which is why we call it the present. They say a person needs just three things to be happy: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for. “If you're reading this... Congratulations, you're alive. If that's not something to smile about, then I don't know what is.” ? Chad Sugg. Men are born to sin… What does matter most, is not that we go wrong; it is that we can see and mend our mistakes.

40.2 I looked, and on the four sides of the Lord of Spirits, I saw four figures, different from those who were standing; and I learnt their names, because the Angel who went with me made known their names, and showed me all the secret things. 40.7 And the fourth voice I heard driving away the Satan and not allowing them to come in front of the Lord of Spirits to accuse those who dwell on the high ground.
