Hello all. I’ve been ill lately, and I’m just getting over it. Been lots of prayer and what-not.

Anyway, that really has nothing to do with the post. :\

My question is, when I read the Bible before (don’t remember exactly, so forgive me if I’m wrong), The Angel of Death was written about in many circumstances as being God’s Angel of Death, to take those from life into the next world. (Heaven, Hell etc…)

I was wondering then, why Death becomes “the last enemy to be destroyed” in Revelations.

My only thoughts were that the Angel of Death had a falling, or that the Angel of Death is in fact, not Death, but one who is there when Death takes a life, and assists the soul into Heaven.

Is there any concrete word in our Catholic/Biblical history to solve my question? Or is this more up to us to interpret?
 
Check out what the *Original Catholic Encyclopedia *says. It is available on this site right at the top. If there is nothing in the encyclopedia then I guess the Church hasn’t a view on the matter.
