Donovan Neal answers “Why are the angels referred to as Elohim?...”

Cory Shook asked this question about The Third Heaven: The Rise of Fallen Stars:

Why are the angels referred to as Elohim? I thought that was another name for God. Great book. Thanks for putting in that part in the front explaining that it is just fiction and don't take it as truth. Not for me, but others who might try and put down the book because of that. I thought that was really awesome.

It was a creative decision to refer to angels as a species of creation in this fashion. I wanted to get away from what people were typically accustomed to.

Thanks for taking the time to read.
