Indeed. Like the Archangels would be of the world of Briah [this, the creative world, and below God acts through His ministers] and the other Angels [Angelic orders] of the world of Yetzirah [the formative world]. Each of the four worlds corresponds to a letter of the divine name Y-H-V-H. Going to another Abrahamic religion in islam the wings an angel [malaika, or power as they are called] possess [ch. 35; v. 1] show the number of their responsibilities.
