Angels play an immense role in many religions throughout the world. Angels are not at all momentary, however. They appear to be permanent throughout our history. The Biblical and Korean angels appeared to be only of male dominance, yet the Persian and Babylonian angels are believed to have female angels equal of rank. All of the Swedenborg angels were believe to be once mortal and human in a form of resurrection.

"From Zoroaster and on, apocalyptic expectations flourished and made their way into Judaism and its heretical child, early Christianity, and then into Islam, which sprang forth from Jewish Christianity. Zoroaster is the ultimate ancestor of the Millennium, even as his angelology initially engendered the angels who came to throng in Judaism, Christianity and Islam."

-Omens of Millennium (Harold Bloom)
