"bear-god" |
Dubbiel - guardian angel of
Persia and one of the special accusers of israel. It is rumored that
Dubbiel once officiated in Heaven for 21 days as a proxy for Gabriel when
the latter (over whom Dubbiel scored a victory) was in temporary disgrace. [Rf.
Talmud Yoma 79a.] In the light of the legend that all 70 or 72
tutelary angels of nations (except Michael, protector of Israel) became
corrupted through national bias, Dubbiel must be regarded corrupt and an
evil angel, a demon. (a)
