Читать книгу An Angel Treasury: A Celestial Collection of Inspirations, Encounters and Heavenly Lore - Jacky Newcomb - Страница 30

Angels are actually androgynous (having no sex), but are sometimes shown (or show themselves) as male or female to indicate traditional masculine or feminine tendencies such as gentleness or strength. The Bible for example shows Gabriel to be a female but the Moslems recognize a male Gabriel, ‘Jibril’, who dictated the Koran to the prophet Mohammed.

Increasingly, I believe that this is unnecessary and angels will more and more show themselves with no sex. As we soften and merge the lines between the sexes, so the angels will take their clue from us.
