Description
"The word 'angel' ... derived from the Greek 'angelos, ' it meant 'shadow side of God, ' 'messenger' or 'revealer of truth.' ... Angels were given free will by God - those who chose good were given a state of eternal grace, those who chose evil found themselves cast out of heaven into hell." (Page 5).
