What does Uriel (the angel) do?

Question

So I have no idea about angelology- I've only just started having dreams about angels (see my questions on Y!A) and I don't know any names except for Gabriel.
I am somewhat agnostic, but I am very spiritual as opposed to religious. The reason for this is that I dont want to be wrong in a religion- say, for example, being a Muslim and finding out that Lord Brahman is the creator or something and being damned to hell for the rest of eternity.
I have, however, had paranormal experiences and the dreams/nightmares I have been having have made me interested in angels. Not any specific angels, just guardians and angels in general.
So, last night, I asked for communication because I was feeling a little lost, and that night I dont remember having a dream.
This morning I slept in (because I am ill) and my dream was as follows:
I was reading a poem and correcting to it. I woke up in my dream to find that I had slept until 2:45 in the afternoon. I went into the kitchen to get a drink, when the poem I was making corrections in was on the table.
I looked at it closer then it hit me: the first letter of every sentence on the left spelt out 'URIEL'. I was so surprised I woke up in real life!

Not sure if I've heard the name before, but what does Uriel do? What do you think this dream could mean?

Answer 1

The Archangel Uriel is one of the seven Archangels that stand at the throne of the God Creator and one of the four major Archangels that serve humanity. Uriel rules the mental plane, our thoughts and ideas, creativity, insights, judgment, magic, alchemy, astrology, universal consciousness, divine order, the distribution of power, the cosmic universal flow and the Earth's environment.

Answer 2

St. Uriel the Archangel guards the gate of the Garden of Eden as it's stated within 2 Esdras (4 Esdras), his name means "Fire of God". The thing is that St. Uriel the Archangel had his wings cut off by Pope St. Zachary and he was removed from the list of Saints. Now Pope St. Zachary was the last Byzantine Popes in the Catholic Church and he had good reason doing what he had done. The thing is during his time there were cults of angel worshipers and the main one happend to be that of St. Uriel the Archangel. Well if you knew anything about 2 Esdras (4 Esdras) it was originally not included within the Christian Duterocanonical Books (Greek Books) it was latter added by St. Jerome in the Vulgate when the Western Church recieved it from the Eastern Church. So Pope St. Zachary removed 2 Esdras (4 Esdras) from the Bible and along with this Book St. Uriel the Archangel was removed from the list of Saints. Pope St. Zachary believed that attaching names to angels results in the worshop of them. That is why the names given to the Seven Archangels by Pope St. Gregory the Great were removed and only St. Michael the Archangel, St. Gabriel the Archangel, and St. Raphael the Archangel were kept because they are actually mentioned by name within Scripture the remaining four Archangels names are unknown. One of the Eastern Orthodox Church Patriarchs gave names to the Seven Archangels and there are Eastern Catholics that are in communion with the Church of Rome that know the Seven Archangels by these names given in the Eastern Church. And as for the Oriental Orthodox Church well the Book of Enoch was considered as Apocrypha amongst the other major Churches so the names of the Archangels given within the Book of Enoch are not recognized by the Catholic Church or Eastern Orthodox Church.

And yes even today there is an unofficial veneration of St. Uriel the Archangel even within the Catholic Church despite the decree made by Pope St. Zachary.



Look for yourself you will find the three angels St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael in the list but no St. Uriel.

I do not believe in religion which is ritual. I believe God is capable of speaking for Himself. He says what He means and means what He says. I attend church because the Bible instructs us to not forsake the assembly. We need fellowship with like-minded believers to grow as Christians. There are books out there which are writings that can shed light on Scripture and others which distort truth with lies. All Gnostic literature was written against by the apostles and the early church fathers who also wrote copiously against Gnosticism. There are no secrets ever that have been kept from us. Jesus said to the Temple High Priest that He did nothing in a corner, a Hebrew idiom meaning that there was nothing hidden from them. This was one of the lies the serpent told Eve, that God was holding something back from them. God gave them everything that was good. He did not give them evil because God is so pure there is nothing evil in Him. The only thing Adam and Eve got for their efforts was purest evil. The book of Enoch was added to by Gnostics. Enoch I is basically Enoch's writing but all other additions are not of Enoch.Enoch even prophesied that his writings would become corrupted in the future. He wrote his book for the final generation. Surprisingly enough a couple intact copies of Enoch has been found in the past century and none of them contained the extra books of Enoch. What Gnostics add is stuff supposedly hidden from us like secret Gospels even though the early church fathers insist there are only the four Gospels and no more. They include such nonsense such as we all have some kind of God spark within us which we can develop and become like God. Lucifer, a created cherubim angel, decided he too could become as God and even more and it was this proud sinful thinking which blasted this created being out of the realm of heaven where the only non-created being exists. He became Ha Satan which means the satan and is his title not his name. His name is Lucifer. Some Catholic prayers are to Lucifer and this worries me! My dad and Grandma are Catholic.The Bible is real specific that Jesus is the only intercessor possible between us and God. Enoch lists archangels of which one is Uriel. I know who some of them are.1: Michael is the angel who watches over Israel. Since Israel became a nation in 1948 when they have gone to war stories of miracles abound and are easily found on YouTube and in writings in books and the internet. 2 is Uriel who I am studying. He is supposed to be the angel of death but of the sources I am not sure about yet. There is one angel who destroyed 185.000 enemy soldiers as they slept defending Israel against insurmountable odds as they faced a battle being very few in number the next day. The angel who did this is not named in Scripture, but it may be Uriel. 3 is Raphiel whose name means one of God who heals Raphi:healer; el: means of God.or pertaining to God. There is one angel who would stir up the waters of the Gihon Spring which fed every pool in the city of Jerusalem. During the Feast of Tabernacles when the processional of priests would draw water from one of the pools after it was stirred each day; there was healing to be found for the first person who entered into the water. Raphiel may very well have been the water stirring angel of God. It only makes sense but the Scriptures do not tell us for sure which angel stirred the waters. We do know one man waited by the pool each and every day of the 7 days of the Feast of Tabernacles for the stirring for thirty years but was always beaten to it. Jesus healed him by telling him to pick up his mat and walk. 4 Gabriel who we know well from Scripture is the one who stands in the very presence of God. He told Zacharias that His aged infertile wife would bear him a son who would announce the coming Messiah. Six months later Gabriel told a pure virgin that she would bear the Son of God who would redeem mankind forever of their (repented) sins. She said may it be unto her as he has said, therefore we know she gave her permission for the Holy Spirit to enter one of her unfertilized ovum and for life to begin. No sex was involved at all. God is capable. Four hundred years later Gabriel supposedly told a man who was hallucinating in a cave that God has no Son. Angels are the B'nai Elohim or sons of God. There are fallen ones who made a pact to sin and marry women in Genesis 6 which Enoch goes into great detail about. Jude also mentions them in the New Testament.Their offspring were giants and monsters who turned to cannibalizing humans (during a time when all men were vegan- meat consumption only occurred after the flood). Gabriel and Uriel and Michael and Raphael saw what the fallen angels were doing to humans by corrupting them to stop worshiping God and to channel spirits and seek out sinful behaviors. Enoch tells us that when the hideous offspring of angels and men died they had no souls. Their bodies died and rotted away forever. Ezekiel tells us they are not subject to the resurrection. Their spirits, because both men and angels have eternal spirits, continue to exits and are evil. This is where demons come from. They crave blood and bodies even today. This is where demon possession comes from. Jesus would cast them out of the humans they were possessing. The Bible from cover to cover is all about Jesus first and second comings. He's not a baby in a manger anymore and neither is He a broken man on a cross. He's the soon coming King Messiah over Israel, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. God placed the blood moons in the heavens on Passover to make us mindful of His redemption plan for us to be released from the curses placed during the fall of man. Jesus paid the only blood price for sin that is sinless and valid. The blood moons on the first night of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) is during the very hours water and blood were shed when a pure virgin bore us a redeemer. She did nothing to save us from our sins except to agree to be the pure vessel in which God would send us His offer of the gift of being restored back to Him. He doesn't change and sin will never exist in His Holy Presence. It's us who has to make the decision whether to obtain life and blessing or death and cursing. God is beckoning us to choose life and blessing over death and cursing. Just as Adam and Eve were not puppets and could have chosen life, we too are given a choice. If He desired puppet we would have been created that wa from the beginning. God wants us to love Him back. He's made the first move. We do not pay for anyone else sins but our own Jesus paid for everyone's sins with the only sinless blood possible, if we accept Him and the gift He was born and came into the world to give us.Romans 10.9&10 tells us how to receive the gift of eternal life and blessing over death and cursing.Speak it out loud to God that you believe in His Son and the free gift of salvation because of His sinless blood shed in your place; that you believe He resurrected Him on the 3rd day. If you do this sincerely you can know that you are saved.There is only one name under heaven by which men can be saved, and that is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
