Angel Azrael Stories

There is no direct reference to Azrael in the Bible. However, soon experts claim that a judge and scribe named Ezra appears in the second book of Esdras. He has the distinction of having entered Heaven without Death’s taint. Critics debate if Azrael and another angel, Salathiel, are the same being.

An Albanian teenager named Thano recounts how his father encountered Azrael. Doctors had diagnosed his grandmother with liver cancer, and she needed an artificial implement to keep it functioning.

Thano went to bed while his mom watched TV. His father drank a glass of milk and turned in as well.

A loud knock woke his father in the wee hours of the morning. He heard someone turning the doorknob of the door to his room. The door suddenly opened, and Angel Azrael stood before him with black, feathered wings. He was tall, thin, and muscular. In his hands was a giant scythe.

Thano’s father asked what the angel wanted but received no answer. He finally got the point of his visit and asked if his mother was going to die. The angel gave him a sad nod and left the room.

Thano’s father asked a priest about it the next day. The terrified priest told him the angel’s name. Thanos ’ grandma died after an unsuccessful surgery a few days later.

In all, few people want to consider the prospect of death, But Azrael helps us through the crisis with comfort and assurance.
