Turiel: A Chronology Of A Fallen Angel​

The angelic realm in Judeo-Christian tradition is a richly detailed universe, with a range of characters that have been developed over thousands of years. This article aims to explore the story and significance of Turiel, one of the more obscure figures sometimes mentioned in religious texts. Turiel is generally classified among the 'fallen angels' — these are angels that, for various reasons, turned against God and were subsequently cast out of Heaven. Understanding their narratives contributes to our overall perception of biblical and supernatural mythology.​

Turiel in Scriptures

There is no explicitly clear reference to Turiel in the canonical scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in the Bible. Rather, this angel is mentioned in specific non-canonical texts, apocryphal books, and in some Jewish mysticism literature. One of the most significant texts in which Turiel appears is the Book of Enoch, which, while not included in most versions of the Bible, is present in some Ethiopian Orthodox Christian canons.

The Role and Fall of Turiel

In these texts, Turiel is often depicted as one of the Watchers — a group of fallen angels who, fascinated by earthly life, descended to Earth to cohabit with humans and teach them forbidden knowledge. The line between fallen angels and demons is not clearly defined, and Turiel is sometimes referred to as a demon due to his status as a fallen one.

According to the Book of Enoch, Turiel, along with 200 other angels, reportedly disobeyed God by intermarrying with women, producing giant beings known as Nephilim. This intermingling of angels and humans led to an era of corruption and wickedness on the Earth. As punishment for their actions, the fallen angels, including Turiel, were cast into Tartarus, an underworld region in ancient cosmology.

Another general role ascribed to Turiel in different sources is that of a guardian or a watcher of Hell, reinforcing his association with the sinful and the fallen.

Turiel's Historical Significance

The story of Turiel, while obscure, carries significant implications. It reflects the struggles between divine and profane in the religious consciousness of societies in ancient times. Turiel's story and his resulting punishment represent the destructive aftermath of transgressing divine laws.

Apostate angels like Turiel played a significant role in shaping theological teachings about morality and humanity's relationship with the divine. Turiel's disobedience serves as a warning about the dangers of going against divine commandments. His position as a guardian of Hell further emphasizes the consequences of sin and rebellion against God.

Conclusion

Turiel as a character provides a fascinating aspect of biblical lore despite not being part of the canonical Bible. As a figure who stands at the intersection between the divine and the profane, Turiel's story is a testament to the complexity that characterizes much of the angelic tradition in Judeo-Christian thought. Exploring such obscurities can enhance our understanding of the richness and diversity inherent in biblical narratives and their related traditions.

(32a) Jomjael a fallen angel

What is the meaning of Jomjael?

Before we delve into Yomiel's story, it's important to mention that his presence in biblical literature is not found in mainstream Christian scriptures such as the Old Testament, New Testament or Apocrypha. Yomiel is often classified as a pseudoepigraphal figure, often found in other texts of Jewish and Christian Apocrypha.

Traditionally, Yomiel is most frequently mentioned in various occult texts where he is identified as a fallen angel. Angels, in Christian theology, are divine beings created by God to serve Him. However, some angels, led by Lucifer (also known as Satan), rebelled against God and were cast out of Heaven. These became known as 'fallen angels'. Yomiel is one of these rebellious entities.

The Story of Yomiel

There's not a lot of information about Yomiel in canonical Christian texts. As a pseudoepigraphal figure, references to him are scarce and often conflicting. Some texts depict Yomiel as a once loyal angel who fell due to pride, lust, or anger. In the Occult tradition, similar to other fallen angels, Yomiel is often depicted as a powerful and knowledgeable being, associated with specific areas of expertise such as astral projection and dreams manipulation.

It should be noted that unlike figures like Lucifer/Satan, Yomiel is not a universally recognized entity throughout Christianity. His representation becomes more prevalent in occultic derivations, esoteric studies and non-mainstream interpretations of Abrahamic religions.

Historical and Biblical Significance of Yomiel

Despite the lack of consistent information about Yomiel, the character of a fallen angel has valuable symbolic and theological significance in Christianity and other monotheistic religions. Fallen angels symbolize the potential for free-will beings to choose a path of disobedience, pride or rebellion against God’s divine order.

Yomiel, like other fallen angels, serves as an embodiment of the dangers of straying from the path of righteousness. His negative depiction serves as a warning to believers about the potential consequences of disobedience to God. Moreover, the story of Yomiel's fall from grace underlines the narrative of divine justice that is a central aspect of Christian theology.

Furthermore, the conceptual existence of Yomiel demonstrates the complex nature of angelic beings in non-mainstream religious literature and illustrates the rich tapestry of mythical and metaphysical beings beyond humans and God in Abrahamic religions.

Conclusion

While Yomiel is not a mainstream Biblical character, his role as a fallen angel stories, linked with disobedience and divine retribution, has theological implications relevant to the broader understanding of Judeo-Christian belief systems. However, it is crucial to understand that the literal existence and interpretation of figures like Yomiel can vary greatly among different religious groups and scholars. As always, it is important to approach such topics with an open and inquisitive mind, discerning and respectful of a diversity of interpretations in religious studies.

This assessment of Yomiel should underscore the variety and complexity within Biblical and related texts; emphasizing the scope of interpretation that exists when we study ancient and sacred scriptures. These diverse perspectives contribute to a rich and layered understanding of our shared spiritual heritage.

(32e) Jomjael a fallen angel

Overview​

He was the 19th Watcher of the 20 leaders of the 200 fallen angels that are mentioned in an ancient work called the Book of Enoch. Michael Knibb translates the Ethiopic version of his name as "Day of God".

Yomiel is one of the seven angels completely connected with the seven heavens. He was ministering at the Throne of God of the moedim of the lord.

History​

Background​

Yomiel was one of the Watchers, angels tasked with observing humanity but never interfering. He was also particularly close with Daniel, one of the more esteemed Watchers next to Azazel and was even his mentor. Unfortunately, he descended to Earth alongside his cohorts due to being bound by oath that whosoever would commit an action that would break the law set forth by God all must follow suit.

Fall from Grace​

Yomiel taught humanity forbidden knowledge, in his case it was the changing of the seasons and how to interpret the signs. Despite it being harmless, this knowledge was not meant to be shared with humanity yet. For this, Yomiel, along with the others, had to bear the consequence as he was apprehended by the archangels and imprisoned in Sheol. But like Daniel, he received a lighter sentence as his actions did not produce serious consequences unlike the rest of the Watchers

(33) Sariel (God is my ruler) or Sahariel (God is my moon) a fallen angel

Apparently, Sariel must not be confused with the fallen watcher Sahariel (Hebrew & Aramaic: שַׂהֲרִיאֵל Śahărīʾēl; "God is my moon") who bears a similar name. In 1 Enoch (8:1), he is said to have taught humans the course of the moon (the Lunar calendar).

The fallen watcher Sahariel, according to the Book of Enoch, was one of the leaders of angels who lusted after the daughters of men. They descended to the summit of Mount Hermon, in the days of Jared, to acquire wives and lead men astray. Sariel specifically taught men about the course of the moon.[11] Knibbs' translation of the names of the Book of Enoch says it was Sariel who taught humans the "course of the moon" (the Lunar calendar).

(34)

- In the book of Enoch we are told that the fallen angels took wives:


7 And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each
chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile
themselves with them.

- But they also taught men different types of knowledge:


8 And they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and
made them acquainted with plants.

- They also had children with women who were giants and who brought violence on the earth:

9 And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three
thousand ells: Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could
no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured

10 And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to
devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation
against the lawless ones.

- These fallen angels also taught men how to make weapons and use different metals and make a lot of objects with them and many other things:

11 And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and
breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of
working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the
beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring
Tinctures.

- And it brought a lot of corruption on the earth:

12 And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they
were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways.

- And they kept teaching men a lot more:

13 Semjaza taught enchantments and root−cuttings, Armaros the resolving of
enchantments, Baraqijal taught astrology, Kokabel the constellations, Ezeqeel
the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of the earth, Shamsiel the signs of
the sun, and Sariel the course of the moon.
14 And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven.

The Bronze age (1)

- Time has come to answer one simple question about Sumerian technology:

- Did they invent it or did they receive it from heaven (from fallen angels)?

- If they receive it from heaven, it means that our human society is based on lies!

- It means that human beings are stupid and refuse to see reality!

- It means everything is based on falsification!

- It means human society is fake and can’t be trusted!

- It means human society is an illusion!

The Bronze age (2)

The Bronze Age is an anthropological archaeological term defining a phase in the development of material culture among ancient societies in Asia, the Near East and Europe. An ancient civilisation is deemed to be part of the Bronze Age if it either produced bronze by smelting its own copper and alloying it with tin, arsenic, or other metals, or traded other items for bronze from producing areas elsewhere. The Bronze Age is the middle principal period of the three-age system, following the Stone Age and preceding the Iron Age. Conceived as a global era, the Bronze Age follows the Neolithic ("New Stone") period, with a transition period between the two known as the Chalcolithic ("Copper-Stone") Age. These technical developments took place at different times in different places, and therefore each region's history is framed by a different chronological system.

- Asia, the Near East and Europe!

- Producing bronze by smelting its own copper and alloying it with tin, arsenic, or other metals!

- Copper, tin and arsenic or other metals!

- Or trading other items for bronze from producing areas elsewhere!

- The Bronze age preceded the Iron age!

- Each region's history is framed by a different chronological system!

- It will be particularly interesting to analyze the different chronological systems!

The Bronze age (3)

Bronze Age cultures were the first to develop writing. According to archaeological evidence, cultures in Mesopotamia, which used cuneiform script, and Egypt, which used hieroglyphs, developed the earliest practical writing systems. In the archaeology of the Americas, a five-period system is conventionally used instead, which does not include a Bronze Age, though some cultures there did smelt copper and bronze. There was no metalworking on the Australian continent prior to the establishment of European settlements in 1788.

- There is a connection between the “invention” of bronze and the “invention” of writing!

- Mesopotamia and Egypt are neighbours!

 

[JLG]

The Bronze age (4)

In many areas bronze continued to be rare and expensive, mainly because of difficulties in obtaining enough tin, which occurs in relatively few places, unlike the very common copper. Some societies appear to have gone through much of the Bronze Age using bronze only for weapons or elite art, such as Chinese ritual bronzes, with ordinary farmers largely still using stone tools. However, this is hard to assess as the rarity of bronze meant it was keenly recycled.

Metal use​

Bronze Age civilisations gained a technological advantage due to bronze's harder and more durable properties than other metals available at the time. While terrestrial iron is naturally abundant, the higher temperature required for smelting, 1,250 °C (2,280 °F), in addition to the greater difficulty of working with it, placed it out of reach of common use until the end of the 2nd millennium BC. Tin's lower melting point of 232 °C (450 °F) and copper's moderate melting point of 1,085 °C (1,985 °F) placed both these metals within the capabilities of Neolithic pottery kilns, which date to 6000 BC and were able to produce temperatures of at least 900 °C (1,650 °F).

- The temperature for smelting iron is 1,250 °C (2,280 °F)!

The Bronze age (6)

- Bronze was independently discovered in the Maykop culture of the North Caucasus as early as the mid-4th millennium BC, which makes them the producers of the oldest-known bronze.

The Bronze Age is characterised by the widespread use of bronze, though the introduction and development of bronze technology were not universally synchronous. Bronze was independently discovered in the Maykop culture of the North Caucasus as early as the mid-4th millennium BC, which makes them the producers of the oldest-known bronze. However, the Maykop culture only had arsenical bronze. Other regions developed bronze and its associated technology at different periods. Tin bronze technology requires systematic techniques: tin must be mined (mainly as the tin ore cassiterite) and smelted separately, then added to hot copper to make bronze alloy. The Bronze Age was a time of extensive use of metals and the development of trade networks.

The Bronze age (7)

A 2013 report suggests that the earliest tin-alloy bronze was a foil dated to the mid-5th millennium BC from a Vinča culture site in Pločnik, Serbia, although this culture is not conventionally considered part of the Bronze Age; however, the dating of the foil has been disputed.
