Curious that Dr Mackey should bring up the topic of the blessed angels in his encyclopedia
Abdiel
"Hebrew - the servant of God". The name of the angel mentioned by the Jewish Kabbalists, one of the seraphim, who when Satan tried to stir up a revolt among the angels, alone and boldly stood against his traitorous designs
"Among the faithless, faithful only he;
Among innumerable false, unmoved,
Unshaken, unseduced, unterrified,
His Loyality he kept, his love, his zeal"
Perhaps now I realise why Dr Mackey includes Abdiel, his name and nature is the property of those who are faithful?
