According to the complex angelology of the Book of Henoch, Angels are created by God, spiritual beings, who exist in a heavenly dimension in order to reflect transcendental, holy and mighty image of the God. They are regarded as visible leaders who intercede for us in haeven. The angelology of the Book of Henoch seems to be a literary and theological procedure which purpose is to present a doctrine of God. Their function is to show the main God’s attributes, which can be found in the Bible.
