Origin

The iconographic origin is the seven-archangel faith of the c. 3rd century BCE Hellenistic period Jewish apocalyptic literature — the decisive origin, and the decisive textual canon is the apocryphal 1 Enoch (1 Enoch) 9:1 of c. 3rd-1st century BCE — the decisive origin canon in which Uriel was established as one of the four archangels along with Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel — and 10:1-8 — the decisive canon in which Uriel warned Noah (Noah) of the Great Flood — and 20:2 — the decisive canon of 'one of the holy angels, Uriel, who is over the world and Tartarus (Tartaros)' — and 21-22 — the decisive canon in which Uriel showed Enoch the abodes of the souls of the dead — and 33-36 — the decisive canon in which Uriel taught Enoch the movements of the celestial bodies and the mysteries of the calendar. The apocryphal 2 Esdras (2 Esdras, 4 Ezra) 4:1 of c. 70-100 CE — 'the angel Uriel answered' — the decisive canon — and 5:20 — 'the angel Uriel was sent to me' — the decisive canon — and 10:28 — the decisive canon in which Uriel taught Ezra the providence of God and the mysteries of the end of times. The Uriel of the Gnostic Pistis Sophia (Pistis Sophia) of c. 3rd-4th century is the decisive canon.

Weakness

Uriel's weaknesses are: (1) apocryphal angel — the decisive canonical weakness — excluded from the Catholic canon at the Council of Rome of 745, weaker in theological authority than the other archangels (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael) — the decisive canon; (2) weight of light — the decisive canon in which his light is so strong that humans are gripped by fear when they look directly at it; (3) weight of eschatology — the decisive canon of the mysteries of the end of times in the c. 70-100 CE 2 Esdras canon; (4) warning of the Great Flood — the decisive canon of the c. 3rd-1st century BCE 1 Enoch 10:1-8 canon; (5) weight of the souls of the dead — the decisive canon of the 1 Enoch 21-22 canon; (6) binding of hierarchy — the decisive canon; (7) binding of the sacred domain — the decisive canon; (8) binding of the movements of celestial bodies — the decisive canon of the 1 Enoch 33-36 canon. The decisive canonical finale is the decisive canon in which despite being excluded from the Catholic canon at the Council of Rome of 745, Uriel survived as the decisive canon in the Eastern Orthodox, Gnostic, Mormonism (1843), spiritualism, and mysticism traditions.
