Angel-kind

The angel concept stories are broadly found in many parts of the world and hence is wide spread. It usually involves beings that are perceived of a different realm and different level of operating than commonly found with humans. Usually, they are depicted in literature as being not the same or apart from humans, despite attempts to humanize and personalize them by attributing some of their activities as being parallel to humankind. The following is to provide a cognizance.

Some literature says known angel-kind probably preceded known civilization and hence would not in toto share the same timeline as humans.  Many sources also attribute capabilities of angel-kind beyond the humans'.

Keeping some of the above in mind, one might surmise the angel-kind would not share in attitudes and sentiment of humans.  For instance, from the readings of the Holy Bible, among many, it is held angels abided their duration as part of the "Host" before the earth was formed. The "Host" being a rather unlimited abode or mode. Such an environment would likely mold a different  temperament and focus than human sentiments would fancy. 

Perhaps being of certain powers and strengths, in the western Holy Bible, for example, an angel is said to persuade  Adam and Eve depart from the Garden with a sword. A kind of weaponry occurs in a number of stories with angels. Angels are said to free Hebrews from Babylon.  In a popular hymn, "The first Noel", it is recited that angels "frightened" shepherds to herald the coming of the King of Israel. These excerpts among many could illustrate them also as being formidable. Much mention is centered around the Ark of the Covenant which alludes to varying angel influence.

It might well be a clue to angels' temperament that in the literatures one might not find in the conversation any passage where an angel says "please" or "thank you", contra human conventions of comportment. Or it may be they are accorded a higher status in lieu of their ostensive appearance or nature.

Another telling  background in reference to angels would be the sense of time, although not uniform.  Most major attributions conclude that they would abide in a time mode that would virtually be eternal to humans and likely angels would have a different sense of passing time than humans.

 Likely their sense of purpose and priorities would be of a perplexing logic compared to the agendas of humans. This could allude to the fact that the angel-kind have access to supranatural powers or physics and may wield them not in presumed accordance of humans. They would tend to act in accordance of their own attributes, and it would be a foolish mistake to believe they base their activities otherwise, or in any supplication or assuagement. In the Book of Matthew chapter 9= it is said: I don't bring peace, I bring a sword...For I am come to set a man against his father a daughter against her mother and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

In other works and cultures such as in asia, angel-kind being timeless, are depicted as even having say in creation and the elements. Plus in some literature, they continue to have their own peculiar influence on the cosmos. In many cultures the angel-kind would share the load with other equally powerful beings that may seem to have an opposite spin or polarity in the whole relation of existence. In some literature the characteristics are interchangable or inclusively shared.

Even in very old literature as well as eastern sources, angel-kind may not even hold any kind of human appearance or form.
