Raphael means God has Healed. Raphael is above all the Angel of Healing as his name denotes, but also is the chief ruling Prince of the 2nd Heaven, Chief of the Order of Virtues, Guardian of the Tree of Life in Eden and by his own admission One of the Seven Holy Angels who attend the throne of God. This he reveals to Tobias in the Book of Tobit. He is declared to be One of the Four Presences set over all the diseases and wounds of the children of men (Enoch 1) and in the Zohar is charged to heal the Earth. Raphael is one of the six Angels of Repentance, Angel of Prayer, Love, Joy and Light. He is said to have the six wings of a Seraphim but at the same time belongs to the Cherubim, the Dominions and the Powers.

Gabriel means God is my strength. Gabriel is the Angel of annunciation, resurrection, mercy, vengeance, death and revelation. Gabriel is the ruler of heaven and ruler of the Cherubim. Gabriel is said to sit on the left hand side of God. Mohammed claimed it was Gabriel who dictated to him the Koran. In Jewish legend it was Gabriel who dealt death and destruction to Sodom and Gommorah. Gabriel appeared to Daniel to tell him of the coming of a Messiah: a message which later he repeats to Mary in the annunciation. Earlier he had announced to Zacharias the coming of John the Baptist.
His name means fire of God. He presides over Tartarus or Hell. Being both a Seraphin and a Cherubim, he is identified as one of the Angels who helped bury Adam and Abel in Paradise: as the dark Angel who wrestled with Jacob at Peniel: as the destroyer of the Host of Sennacherib and as the messenger sent by God to warn Noah of the deluge. Often identified as the Cherub who stands at the gate of Eden with a fiery sword or as in Enoch I where he is the Angel who watches over thunder and terror. In the apocalypse, Uriel appears as the Angel of Repentance who is graphically depicted as being about as pitiless as any demon you would not want to meet in hell. Here he is shown holding his fiery sword of justice in one hand and the keys to the gates of Hades in the other hand.
