Ancient Angels brings together inscriptional, literary, and archaeological evidence for angels (angeloi) in Roman-era religions. The book examines Roman conceptions of angels, angel veneration, and how Christian authorities responded to this potentially heterodox aspect of Roman religion.

“Starting from the Old Testament these pages address the story of what is often not highlighted or, worse, deliberately forgotten or interpreted differently in order to conceal the potential disruptive effects.”—Mauro Biglino Did a distant race of ancient aliens once inhabit the lands of the Bible? Do the ancient writings of the Bible and other texts provide proof of their existence? Did the “prophets” have close encounters with ancient aliens? Were the “angels” physical beings sent to perform specific tasks by their alien masters? Ancient Aliens in the Bible answers these questions and more. Analyzing the historical and archaeological evidence, and using the work of former Vatican translator Mauro Biglino as his guide, Xaviant Haze provides ample proof that what our ancestors described in ancient biblical texts were real-life events and not visions. The UFO encounters in the Bible are described as concrete experiences by flesh-and-blood beings. The angels were assigned specific duties and struggled to carry them out; some even rebelled and took earthly wives, forbidden by their superiors. Ancient Aliens in the Bible reveals that: • Lamech’s wife gave birth to the son of an angel with glowing eyes. • Moses was led to the promised land by UFOs. • Noah’s great-grandfather, Enoch, got a heavenly tour of space. Your view of the Bible will never be the same.

Are Angels real, do they exist today? In this book you find answers you never dared to asked other believers. In his first book, Angels of the Lord, Apostle Dr. Gunter Rappl takes his readers on a fascinating journey into the understanding of the realm of the angels of YHWH Echad. Apostle Dr. Gunter Rappl covers fascinating topics detailing the origin, existence, and abode of angels, their names, ministry functions, duties, and the classification of angels, to name a few. As revealed by the Ruach HaKodesh, Apostle Dr. Gunter Rappl describes in this book for the first time four different groups of worship angels creating so called fire tunnels for ministering deliverance and healing to the saints. Also described in depth for the first time in a book is when and how angels of YHWH Echad bless saints and ordinary people (Gen. 48:16). The revelations described in the book are backed up by real life angelic encounters and diverse angelic visitations alone or together as ministry team in his Ekklesia Consuming Fire & GFC in Cologne, Germany. Bible-based prayers at different parts of the book invite the reader to actively engage with these heavenly messengers of YHWH Echad to release protection, healings or blessings from the trading floors of heaven unto the heirs of Elohim according to the promise.

If you think you know all about angels, think again! Although the modern Western world claims to have left angels behind as mythical creatures, they are back in popular culture. And much of what people are thinking, exploring, and believing about them finds its roots in ancient Jewish and Christian beliefs.

He asks questions about what angels have to do with religious ecstasy, surviving suffering, and politics, among other things--finding surprising and sometimes controversial answers. Informed by the latest scholarship yet accessible to all, this book provides a well-researched and thought-provoking introduction to angels.
