Principal Named Angels
Within the Merkavah, a hierarchy of Angels is found, positioned in relation
to the Throne. The Merkavah is made up of 4 Major Angels with 4 subordinate
Angels. The wearer of the Merkavah is the Large Angel, with 4 names related
to the 4 directions.
As stated in the Koran, "8 Angels carry the Throne." These 8
make up the 4 upright creatures, 8 entry and exit points. The 4 Entry
points are major Angels, the 4 exits are subordinate angels.
The Large Angel is 500 measurements greater than these, and governs the placing of the 12 entrances to the Holy City precinct.
