Do+people+still+claim+to+see+angels?

In the story "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" an angel like human appears and is claimed as a very weak angel.Most of the time in the story he stays motionless and is shown to be old.Villagers would pay money to see him as he was a sideshow and they would throw stuff at him to make him react but his reactions were small and not very satisfying to the villagers.In the end as the main characters that found him were convinced that he was sure to die soon.Shorty after he begins to regain his strength he starts to sing sailor songs,then one day he just spread his wings and flew away.Was he a fallen angel?Was he sent to earth for a specific reason?...

Christianity ;In Christianity, fallen angels have existed since the first century A.D.and have continued to impact Christianity.One of the major articulations of fallen angels in the Christian bible was”Satan’s Throw Down to Earth”,where Satan in the form of a dragon along with an army of fallen angels fought with Michael and his angels for the salvation of god. In which the Michael and his angels come out victorious and as soon as the dragon noticed that he had been thrown down towards earth,he seeked a woman who had given birth to the male child. So the woman was received two wings so that she can fly from the serpent. [|__http://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=fallen+angels&qs_version=NIV__] In Judaism, Islam,and other religions;Judaism has basically the same concept as Christianity on fallen angels and how Lucifer (satan) was thrown from the heavens upon his defeat in the heavens.In Islamic religions they describe two fallen angels in specific Harut and Murat. they were sent to the Babylonian empire on earth to test the peoples faith on god.”Angels have no free will, but are like appendages of God”.This quote shows that angels served god and heaven and that they were made to stay faithful but, angels that disobeyed and did not stay faithful were then considered fallen angels as they are sent to earth.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallen_angel
