Phoenix Force - Why is it often connected with Biblical Context?

i have been following the Phoenix ever since its fist appearance.. and with it, i have noticed something.. most of the titles concerning the Phoenix Force  are often linked with the context of the Bible.. here are some: 
 
Phoenix Resurrection: Genesis 
Phoenix Resurrection: Revelations 
Messiah Complex
Second Coming 
 
not to mention certain words with biblical context often associated with the Phoenix Force like..
 
The Tree of Life 
White Phoenix of the Crown 
Tippareth 
Black Angel 
Creation 
Resurrection 
 
plus if you remember, the evil counterpart of the Phoenix Force is known as The First Fallen.. 
 
Marvel has never explicitly included biblical characters in their creations unlike DC and Vertigo which directly included biblical characters like Lucifer, Michael and even Yahweh plus many more.. 
 
did Marvel created the Phoenix Force as an indirect character based on the bible? perhaps as the Holy Spirit which is depicted as dove, or possibly an angel in the biblical context.. like when Jean Grey descended from the White Hot Room as the White Phoenix of the Crown, draped in holy flames.. she was so reminiscent of the biblical Seraphim, the burning angel of God.. 

Most of these words have infiltrated modern language to the point that they don't necessarily carry any biblical connotations. I also wouldn't give Marvel that much credit. The second coming, First Fallen and tiphareth are interesting though, being far more direct than the rest.
 
Also, I find it funny that you include "Crown" as a biblical word.

" @AtPhantom: well you see, the Crown is the top most Sephiroth of the Tree of Life.. it is very much different from the regular crown which are worn by sovereigns..  "

So the phoenix is actually an angel?
