I did some quicky reading and came up with the following.....
The breakdown of the English word angel is thus:
fron Hebrew malakh) and Sanskrit : angras
a divine spirit or person.
Greek: anglos: a messenger.
Supposedly the meaning of term we use today is closer to the definition of
the greek Greek :Daimon
From The Dictionary of Angels: Including the Fallen Angels.

Hmmmm ... I'm curious if there's anyone on the list who's actually *read*
a translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls - I don't expect that anyone has,
but it could be interesting to see whether the Scrolls actually had
something like the seventeen trials or the "messengers" which you're
referring to.
Actually, I've read that the Dead Sea Scrolls are records of a jewish sect
group. They are records of their way of life. They've recorded for all
time how they lived, preserved for any who want to know.
I forget where I read this - probably on a web page, although it may've
been in Animerica somewhere - but the Evangelion designs were supposedly
based on a Japanese demon.
I've read the same thing, except it wasn't a Japanese demon. It was
sometime back in the early centuries, and the judochristians (?) wrote down
their beliefs about the barons of hell. They had four of them, and they
were all unique in one way. The first baron of hell had but one eye, the
second had one long horn, the third had four eyes and two mouths, and the
fourth had abnormally long arms.
Considering that Adam supposedly came to warn humanity against
continuing to study cloning and genetic engineering - "playing God" as it
were - what if you turn it around? If the Angels really *are* God's
warriors, and the Evangelions and their human pilots on the side of Satan,
wittingly or unwittingly?
Good fic idea.
No original comments of my own.
