A flight of seven angels descends, then rises again corresponding to the underground course of the sun. They symbolize the path of experience-the states which Job passes. Clockwise from the right, they are Lucifer, a man in his original state of selfhood; Molech, the Executioner; Elohim, the Judge of others; Shaddai, the Accuser; Pahad, man's honor at the results of infernal justice; Jehova, the institutor of the laws of conduct; Jesus, the Savior. England, Europe
