There is a reason most of the angels have names which end in - "el", just as Isra-el ends in "el", "walks with El"
Rapha-el, Uri-el., Micha-el. They are the messengers of "El", the chief god of the Babylonians.
In Deuteronomy the "most high god" "portions out" the nations to his sons. The inheritance of Yahweh, (NOT the "most high" god), is given Israel, for his share of the nations.
Elaine Pagels PhD (Princeton) is the recognized expert on the subject of the origins of angels and devils. "See The Origins of Satan".
There are YouTube" lectures on the subject.
I just looked that up. Deuteronomy 32:8-9 and the verses after clearly state that Yahweh (the Lord) was the god of Israel only, and was not the Most High.
?
No it's referring to God directly:
Quote:The Bible, 32:8:9
https://www.bible.com/bible/114/DEU.32.8-9.NKJV
When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, When He separated the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel. For the LORD’s portion is His people; Jacob is the place of His inheritance.
