That's a fascinating question, Ian.  But I haven't seen any replies yet, so let me reiterate it:  Why are angel names (almost?) all elohistic?  Could this be further evidence of the personal angels' -- as opposed to the more generic "cherubim and seraphim," which are clearly tied to the temple -- development in primarily outside the "Yahweh alone" party?
 
Cheers!
Loren

(Wandering further:)

Does anyone have any idea why all the angels seem to have Elohistic
theophoric names?


Cheers,


Ian
