Review
ANGELS ARE GENERALLY REPRESENTED AS MALESby "MJ": Student of the Bible, Witness of Jehovah.
Twitter: @Sacredsecret, Date: May 14, 2023
Angels are generally represented as males, and when materializing it was always in the male form...
Individual names imply individuality. The fact that two of their names, Michael and Gabriel, are given, establishes the point sufficiently. (Da 12:1; Lu 1:26)
The lack of more names was a safeguard against giving undue honor and worship to these creatures. Angels were dispatched by God as agents to act in his name, not in their own name.
Hence, when Jacob asked an angel for his name, he refused to give it. (Ge 32:29)
The angel that approached Joshua, when asked to identify himself, replied only that he was "prince of the army of Jehovah." (Jos 5:14)
When Samson's parents asked an angel for his name, he withheld it, saying: "Just why should you ask about my name, when it is a wonderful one?" (Jg 13:17, 18)
The apostle John attempted to worship angels and was twice rebuked: "Be careful! Do not do that! . . . Worship God." --Re 19:10; 22:8, 9.

From the Author
In a recent interview, I was asked who my favorite character in Book 3 is. Emily is my favorite character, because of the complexity involved in writing her character. Barely 18 years old, she is the one who has to carry the ultimate responsibility for the fate of the world on her shoulders.If you will allow me to speak frankly, I compare her with Jesus Christ. He was in his 30's when he went voluntarily to his crucifixion on the cross to pay for the sins of the world. Jesus was prepared for what he was doing. In contrast, Emily is only 18, and to again be frank, she's no saint. Far from it.
So, as a writer, how do I make her a credible character? What is it about her that makes you care whether or not she succeeds or fails?
And if I make her so brave, and so courageous, do I not run the risk of losing her femininity in the process?
And she has a secret, that's so secret, even she doesn't know it. It's been kept hidden from her all her life.
Because of these challenges, Emily is my favorite character in the book.
Dear reader, I hope you will enjoy the time you spend with this unique character as you read this story.
