Lucifer is also an ArchAngel.

[edit] Enochian = Abramic?

207.118.27.139 03:47, 27 June 2007 (UTC)If the first verified source of the Seven Archangels comes from the Ethiopian Book of Enoch, I would think describing this as an ancient Abramic tradition is stretching things. Most scholars agree that Enochian texts originate at the earliest around the time of Jesus' life. This would make it Christian or proto-Christian, but neither ancient nor Abramic.

The text does not say the tradition originated with Abraham. Nor, since there is also a Jewish tradition of seven archangels, (see archangel; this article is incomplete) is it "proto-Christian". Read Abrahamic religion to see what that term means. TCC (talk) (contribs) 06:41, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
