Jeremiel's Role in Religious Texts

In the ancient book 2 Baruch, which is part of

the Jewish and Christian Apocrypha, Jeremiel appears as the angel who “presides
over true visions” (2 Baruch 55:3). After God gives Baruch an elaborate vision of
dark water and bright water, Jeremiel arrives to interpret the vision, telling
Baruch that the dark water represents human sin and the destruction it causes in
the world, and the bright water represents God’s merciful intervention to help
people. Jeremiel tells Baruch in 2 Baruch 71:3 that “I have come to tell you these
things because your prayer has been heard with the Most High.”

Then Jeremiel gives Baruch a vision of the hope that he says will come to the
world when the Messiah brings its sinful, fallen state to an end and restores it to
the way God originally intended it to be:

“And it shall come to pass, when he has brought low everything that is in the
world and has sat down in peace for the age on the throne of his kingdom, that
joy shall then be revealed, and rest shall appear. And then healing shall descend
in dew, and disease shall withdraw, and anxiety and anguish and lamentation
pass from among men, and gladness proceed through the whole earth. And no
one shall again die untimely, nor shall any adversity suddenly befall. And
judgments, and abusive talk, and contentions, and revenge, and blood, and
passions, and envy, and hatred, and whatsoever things are like these shall go into
condemnation when they are removed.” (2 Baruch 73:1-4)

Jeremiel also takes Baruch on a tour of the different levels of heaven. In the
Jewish and Christian apocryphal book 2 Esdras, God sends Jeremiel to answer
the prophet Ezra's questions. After Ezra asks how long our fallen, sinful world
will endure until the end of the world comes, "the archangel Jeremiel answered
and said, 'When the number of those like yourselves is completed; for he [God]
has weighed the age in the balance, and measured the times by measure, and
numbered the times by number; and he will not move or arouse them until that
measure is fulfilled." (2 Esdras 4:36-37)

Other Religious Roles

Jeremiel also serves as an angel of death who sometimes joins Archangel

Michael and guardian angels escorting people's souls from Earth to heaven, and
once in heaven, helps them review their earthly lives and learn from what they've
experienced, according to some Jewish traditions. New Age believers say that
Jeremiel is the angel of joy for girls and women, and he appears in female form
when he delivers blessings of joy to them.
