Angel of the face

From The Bible Holy Scripture Book Jubilees Chapter1v3

“And he said to the angel of the face, write for Moses from the beginning of creation until my sanctuary shall have been established in their midst for all eternity, and the Lord will have appeared to the eyes of all and all,

will know that I am the God of Israel and the father of all of the children of Jacob, and (Jesus) king on mount Zion, from eternity to eternity and Zion and Jerusalem will be holy.”

From this scripture we get the name of these special angels whose job is to write the oracles of God for man, they are mediators between God and man, thus they preserve the Holiness of God.

I came across pictures of these angels in Anglican churches; they were depicted in stained glass windows.

At first I thought that they were painted to fill in the spaces in the design of these windows.

But on further examination I saw that they were specifically put in to represent the angel of the face, which is written in scripture.
Next time you enter a Church of England church take a good look around.
