Enoch Sees a Mysterious Angel

Which angel is the most enigmatic that Enoch saw? Learn about the lesser-known archangel Phanuel, the angel of repentance, the guardian of God's face, and the heavenly barrier separating the Creator from sin, in this stirring and enlightening short. In the Book of Enoch, chapter 40, Phanuel separates the righteous from the wicked in front of the Lord of Spirits by fighting with purity rather than a sword. Enoch met powerful angels including Gabriel the messenger, Raphael the healer, and Michael the warrior as he rose to the sky. Phanuel, however, stood distinct. He sees into the soul, beyond outward manifestations. In the final judgment, only those with pure hearts will be able to pass before him and join God's presence.
