absolutely deserves to go to heaven when she dies, though she does not know she will die by the end of the story. Julian’s mother believes she has done everything right in her life, and though she is a very earnest and selfless woman, she is hardly an angel. The passage also alludes to Julian’s mother being a child, or a ten year old, which may have been the age when she knew Caroline, her “darky” nurse. At the end of the story, she calls out for Caroline, probably because Caroline was the one who

the set. At the top of the stairs, an angel stands at a podium with the Book of Life. The Book of Life is what holds the names of individuals who have confessed their sins and declared the Lord their personal savior.

The man did not move so they moved him themselves placing him in their chicken coop. Word traveled quickly about this strange creature being on their property and people began coming from everywhere to check him out for themselves. The local priest decided the man could not be an angel because he didn’t have that angelic appearance

the war that will occur in heaven. The passage says,“Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down―that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.” The passage begins by stating that there will be a war in heaven, one between Michael and

The angel Gabriel then reveals to Mary his true purpose in his visit to her. “Don’t be frightened, Mary, for God has decided to bless you! You will become pregnant and have a son, and you are to name him Jesus” (Luke 1:30-31). Gabriel then tells Mary that she will bear the Son of God and he will reign over Israel forever. Gabriel’s final words are, “For nothing is impossible with God” (Luke 1: 37). Despite the awesome, unexpected, unbelievable spectacle before her, Mary was able to accept that

The role of the angel’s in Wings of Desire is to see. They move silently through the city of Berlin; watching and listening to the actions taking place around them.

Gabriel Gabriel is an angel who serves as a messenger for God to certain people. He is one of the three archangels. Gabriel is mentioned in both the Old and the New Testaments of the Bible. First, in the Old Testament, Gabriel appears to the prophet Daniel to explain his visions. Gabriel is described as, "one who looked like man," as he interprets Daniel's visions.

story of the Annunciation is one that focuses on the centuries-long Islamic perspective of judgement and expectation of others, especially women. Set during a period of time where the sacred nature of a woman's purity was highly valued, the angel Gabriel's message to the Virgin Mary was not one entirely void of danger and aprehension. An unwed mother would undoubtedly be persecuted by her peers and this is the danger that Mary faced with the deliverance of the news. Donatello's

his dramatic play, Angels of America, Kushner uses angels and religion to help develop the characters afflicted by it as well carry them through the entire play and reach some sort of enlightenment. Spirituality is a big thing within Angels in America, and Angels are one of them. “Harper: When you look at the ozone layer, from outside, from a spaceship, it looks like a pale blue halo [...].
