This given is false.

Mal'akhim are tzurah beli chomer, HQBH isn't even a tzurah. He is One.

For the same reason you had to put the word "cheileq" in quotes to say
it.

The nearest to this notion is that of the Kavod Nivra or the Shechinah.
But the amud ha'eish (eg) was not G-d. Also related is the difference
between the Or Ein Sof and the Ein Sof Himself.
