Angel Tablet

The Angel Tablet is one of three Words of God. It pertains the nature of Angels.

Background
During Creation, God employed Metatron, the Scribe of God to transcribe the compendium of tablets that would become known as the Word of God for the use of the human race. Amongst those tablets was the Angel Tablet, providing humanity with information about angels.

At some point, the Angel Tablet fell into the hands of the archangel Lucifer. Lucifer locked the Angel Tablet up in one of his crypts in a box that was angel-warded.

Contents
The Angel Tablet contains information on how to shut the gates of Heaven. The trials are never revealed. The tablet talks about the spell that can be used to permanently banish angels from Heaven and remove their wings. It described this incident as "heralding a new world order".

Uniquely, this tablet granted Metatron powers equivalent to God, making him immune to rings of Holy Fire. It took the destruction of the tablet to remove Metatron's powers.

According to Kevin, it is more difficult to decipher the part of the angel tablet referring to Metatron's spell than it is to decipher the other two and the rest of the tablet. He was only able to translate it into proto-elamite cunieform.

Like its alternate reality counterpart, the angel tablet presumably contained a ritual for opening a rift between universes.
