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.
