The Angel Jophiel One of the cherubim, Jophiel is accredited
with being the angel to
drive Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden after they eat the
forbidden
fruit. If this is the case, Jophiel receives also the honor of
being
the first angel to be mentioned in the Bible. In such a role, he
is
last left guarding the Tree of Life with a flaming sword to
prevent the
return of man
Also called Iophiel and Zophiel, his name means "Beauty of God".
Archangel of the Third Ray, Jophiel is the Angel of Paradise and
the
Patron Angel of Artists. Archangel of Illumination, he teaches
the
outer consciousness the Power of Light within oneself, stirs the
feelings, through Radiation of Illumination, into aspiration for
spiritual things. He helps in absorbing information, studying
for and
passing tests, dissolution of ignorance, pride, and
narrow-mindedness,
and exposure of wrongdoing in governments and corporations.
Jophiel
helps in fighting pollution, cleaning up our planet and brings
to
mankind the gift of Beauty. Jophiel is said in Jewish lore to be
a
special friend to the angel Metatron, and is one of the chiefs
of the
choir of Cherubim. He is a ruling prince of the Order of Thrones
and
the first World Teacher for our world.
Christine, Jophiel's divine complement, acts as the shrine for
wisdom.
As the feminine complement of wisdom, she represents constancy,
that
which is steadfast and changeless. Often someone who is so lost
in
thought cannot focus long enough to translate all his or her
great
ideas into material creation. This person needs the balance of
constancy. Many intellectuals need the energies of Christine to
make
them practical.
Like all feminine complements to the archangels, Christine is
the
energy of Mater, which in Latin translates into mother. The
feminine
complement is like mother earth, the receptive garden into which
a seed
elemental life, all the creatures and plants on earth. All
living
beings are a combination of matter and spirit. Likewise each
archangel
needs a grounded complement to translate their power to the
human
realm. Gleaned from A Book of Angels by Sophy Burnham The
