Angels and Women (1924)

254 ANGELS AND WOMEN
significant that angels are always referred to in the
Bible as masculine; and there are many incidents related
in the Scriptures where they assumed human form
as men. Abraham entertained angels, "sons of God,"
unawares (Genesis 18); and Jacob wrestled with one
until break of day. (Genesis 32:24-30) See THE
HARP OF GOD, page 30; and STUDIES IN THE
SCRIPTURES, Vol. I, page 183.
NOTE 5. (See page 21)
The expression "Star-spirits" is drawn from the
passage Job 38:7: "The morning stars sang together,
22:16) Lucifer is also referred to as a "son of the
morning"; and there are yet others, for Lucifer, in
his ambition, said: "I will exalt my throne above the
stars [bright shining ones] of God." (Isaiah 14:13)
The victory of Israel over Jabin and Sisera in the
days of Deborah is ascribed to the fact that "the stars
in their courses fought against Sisera," which is understood
to mean that the holy angels were on the side
of the Israelites, directing the battle.--Judges 5:20.
NOTE 6. (See page 22)
"The sons of God came in unto the daughters of
men, and they hare children to them; the same became
mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
(Genesis 6:4) In this passage reference is made
the offspring of the illicit union between the "sons of
God" (the fallen angels designated in this novel as
Devas) and the "daughters of men." Throughout this
story these children are called Darvands.
