However, to many people these helpful spirits seem to do much more than that as we rest on the brink of the millennium. There have been countless reports of Angels coming to the rescue when all seems lost. Attackers discouraged when seeing a strange figure walking beside a lone woman. Tired drivers finding their steering taken over by some strange force, and falls cushioned by a helping hand. Every religious text points to the fact that Angels are there to help us no matter what our beliefs or inclinations.
Angels follow a hierarchy similar to that of an army.
There are nine choirs each having a particular job. In the eighth choir reside the Archangels, the most familiar of these being Michael, Raphael, Uriel and Gabriel. He is the patron of the sick and ruler of the element of fire. Michael is the one who fights on behalf of newly dead souls against the demonic hordes. Raphael is a healer and is attached to knowledge gained through experience.
