About Jophiel~
" Archangel Jophiel is the Angel of Wisdom and Illumination whose name means Beauty of God. This Great Archangel is not spoken about as perhaps some of the other better know Archangels, but nonetheless, he is an important messenger of the Divine. Archangel Jophiel’s
mission in part is to help focus one away from the personality, ego, or fear and move ever closer to the Christ Consciousness. Jophiel’s twin flame is Christine and as her name suggests, she is all one with the Consciousness of Christ. Christine acts as a counterpart to Jophiel; she represents steadfast constancy and is the feminine aspect of Wisdom. Jophiel and Christine bring enlightenment, wisdom, inspiration, clear seeing, and understanding. He appears dressed in a yellow cloak, carrying a bright blazing sword. They reside on the Second Ray with the color being Yellow, also called the Love-Wisdom Ray. The energy of this ray is most powerfully beamed down to earth on a Sunday." Doreen Virtue

The Zohar, the sacred text of the mystical branch of Judaism called Kabbalah, says that Jophiel is a great leader in heaven who directs 53 legions of angels, and also that she is one of two archangels (the other is Zadkiel) who helps archangel Michael battle evil in the spiritual realm. Jewish tradition says that Jophiel was the angel who guarded the Tree of Knowledge and cast Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden when they sinned in the Torah and the Bible, and now guards the Tree of Life with a flaming sword. Jewish tradition says that Jophiel supervises the Torah’s readings on Sabbath days. Jophiel is not listed as one of the seven archangels in the Book of Enoch but is listed as one in the Pseudo-Dionysius's De Coelestia Hierarchia from the 5th century. This early work was an influence on Thomas Aquinas as he wrote about angels. Jophiel appears in several other arcane texts, including the "Veritable Clavicles of Solomon," "Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum," early 17th-century grimoires, or textbooks of magic. Another mention is in the "Sixt and Seventh Books of Moses," another magical text from the 18th century purported to be lost books of the Bible that has spells and incantations. John Milton includes Zophiel in the poem, "Paradise Lost," in 1667 as "of cherubim the swiftest wing." The work examines the fall of man and expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
