(אוּרִיאֵל):
Anglicized form of Hebrew Uwriyel, meaning "flame

It is also the name
of one of the seven archangels whose names were removed from the Church's
list of recognized angels in 145 A.D. He was said to have been one of the angels
stationed at God's throne. He was considered the wisest of the archangels because
his light was not merely of the physical kind, but rather the ultra-spiritual
kind, making him highly intellectually illuminated. Some think Uriel was the angel who
warned Noah of the coming flood, and helped the prophet
Ezra interpret a
prediction concerning the coming Messiah. He is also said to be the angel of divine magic,
alchemy, writing, earthquakes, floods, and other kinds of cataclysms.
