Seven Archangels Seven Archangels Marmoniel (“who hold the clouds in your hands”).[2] 1 Archangels in current church traditions The Catholic Church recognizes three archangels, the three mentioned in its canon of Scripture: Gabriel and Michael, mentioned in the New Testament, and Raphael, mentioned in the book of Tobit, where he is described as “one of the seven angels who stand ready and enter before the glory of the Lord”,[3] a phrase recalled in Revelation 8:2-6. Some strands of the Eastern Orthodox Church, exem- plified in the Orthodox Slavonic Bible (Ostrog Bible, Elizabeth Bible, and later consequently Russian Synodal Bible), recognize as authoritative also 2 Esdras, which mentions Uriel. Yet the Eastern Orthodox Church ac- cepts only Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel. As well as Uriel, the Book of Enoch, not regarded “Synaxis of the Archangel Michael” ("Собор Архистратига as canonical by any of these Christian churches, men- Михаила").

Beneath the mandorla of Hanael, and Kepharel.[4] Christ Emmanuel are representations of Cherubim (in blue) and Seraphim (in red). In the Coptic Orthodox tradition the seven archangels are named as Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Suriel, Zadakiel, Raguel, and Aniel. The earliest reference to a system of seven archangels In Anglican and Episcopal tradition, there are three or as a group appears to be in Enoch I (the Book of Enoch) four archangels in its calendar for September 29 feast which is not part of the Jewish Canon but is prevalent for St. Michael and All Angels (also called Michaelmas: in the Judaic tradition, where they are named as Gabriel, namely Gabriel, Michael and Raphael),[5] and often, Michael, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Remiel and Saraqael. Uriel.[6][7][8][9][10] While this book today is non-canonical in most Christian Churches, it was explicitly quoted in the New Testament (Letter of Jude 1:14-15) and by many of the early Church Fathers.

Other Jophiel, and Zadkiel. [1] Names derived from pseudepigrapha but not recognized by Christian churches are Selaphiel, Jegudiel, and Raguel. The earliest Christian mention is by Pope Saint Gregory I who lists them as Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel (or Seven angels or archangels are given as related to the Anael), Simiel, Oriphiel and Raguel.

The seven archangels figure in some systems of ritual magic, each archangel bearing a specific seal. It could also be argued that each one of the seven archangels represents one of the heavenly virtues, in the same way that each of the seven princes of hell represents one of the deadly sins. 3 Notes and references [1] A Dictionary of Angels, Including the Fallen Angels by Gustav Davidson, 1980, Free Press Publishing [2] Julia M.H.

  • Archangels Michael and Zadkiel
    Archangels Michael and Zadkiel Michael is the great Archangel of God who has committed himself to the protection of the Son's (and daughters) of God. He carries a sword of Light to cut humanity free of the burdens of darkness that it sometimes carries. He is the Prince of Archangels and defeated Satan, who chose to turn from God and oppress mankind. He is the crusader of the Christ who will protect the soul of man and bring the presence of peace to those who choose to ask his help. He champions the Will of God and not the lower will of humanity. Yet with Love He will help humanity find the Divine path and protect the souls of those that chose it. Zadkiel is the Archangel of the violet flame. Zadkiel is the angel of the flame of forgiveness and of spiritual freedom. Love is the essence of all angels and Zadkiel, in love, will help mankind free themselves from the bonds of pain and karma they have created. The violet flame cleanses humanity of the accumulated debris of hatred and helps re-establish freedom, by transmuting mankind's mis-creations into the pure essence of Light that flows from God. We can choose to understand and feel the spiritual qualities of these two of God's messengers. We will ask for God's blessing through these angels and search for understanding of our role in God's creation. Archangel Gabriel I want to share some experiences I had with Archangel Gabriel. I had received wonderful upliftment and I believe we can all receive that.

  • The Truth About Angels
    PROJECT CONNECT PROJECT CONNECT PROJECT CONNECT The Truth About Angels by Donald L. Deffner I grew up during the Great Depression in the early 1930s. My father was a minister. Behind our small home was a dirt alley which led nine blocks to downtown Wichita, Kansas. I can remember when I was a boy the hungry, destitute men who came to the back door begging for food. My mother never turned them down. She shared what little we had, even if only a couple of pieces of bread and a glass of milk. My mother didn’t just say, “Depart in peace! I’ll pray for you! Keep warm and well fed!” (See James 2:16.) No. She acted. She gave. Often I was curious about these mysterious and somewhat scary men. I had a sense that they were “different” than I was, not worse, not better, just different. I always watched these strangers heading back up the alley toward downtown, and sometimes, in a cops-and-robbers fashion, I secretly followed them, jumping behind bushes so I wouldn’t be seen. I think I half expected them to suddenly disappear. After all, my Sunday school teacher, encouraging us to be kind and care for strangers, told us the Bible says that, by doing so, many people have entertained angels without knowing it (see Hebrews 13:2). I never saw any of the men disappear. They were ordinary, hungry human beings. But my Sunday school teacher was right. God does send His angels to us, and they do interact with us—not just to test us and see if we are kind, but to protect us and guide us.

  • Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D
    Names 39.2 (June 1991) Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D. Lawson1 Abstract Samples of men's and women's names drawn from English language editions of Israeli telephone directories identify the most common names in current usage. These names, categorized into Biblical, Traditional, Modern Hebrew, and Non-Hebrew groups, indicate that for both men and women over 90 percent come from Hebrew, with the Bible accounting for over 70 percent of the male names and about 40 percent of the female. Pronunciation, meaning, and Bible citation (where appropriate) are given for each name. ***** The State of Israel represents a tremendous opportunity for names research. Immigrants from traditions and cultures as diverse as those of Yemen, India, Russia, and the United States have added their onomastic contributions to the already existing Jewish culture. The observer accustomed to familiar first names of American Jews is initially puzzled by the first names of Israelis. Some of them appear to be biblical, albeit strangely spelled; others appear very different. What are these names and what are their origins? Benzion Kaganoffhas given part of the answer (1-85). He describes the evolution of modern Jewish naming practices and has dealt specifi- cally with the change of names of Israeli immigrants. Many, perhaps most, of the Jews who went to Israel changed or modified either personal or family name or both as part of the formation of a new identity. However, not all immigrants changed their names. Names such as David, Michael, or Jacob required no change since they were already Hebrew names.

  • Angelology Angelology
    Christian Angelology Angelology Introduction Why study Angels? They teach us about God As part of God’s creation, to study them is to study why God created the way he did. In looking at angels we can see God’s designs for his creation, which tells us something about God himself. They teach us about ourselves We share many similar qualities to the angels. We also have several differences due to them being spiritual beings. In looking at these similarities and differences we can learn more about the ways God created humanity. In looking at angels we can avoid “angelic fallacies” which attempt to turn men into angels. They are fascinating! Humans tend to be drawn to the supernatural. Spiritual beings such as angels hit something inside of us that desires to “return to Eden” in the sense of wanting to reconnect ourselves to the spiritual world. They are different, and different is interesting to us. Fr. J.

Jak ji ale mělo napadnout, že součástí její cesty bude něco tak neuvěřitelného? O tom, že uvidí křísit mrtvé, zastřelené a navíc spálené děti, se dozvěděla až tady. »To chtělo videokameru,« postěžovala si Pepkovi. »Fotografie nejsou dneska nic moc, kdekdo je zpochybní. Kříšení mrtvých! To je přece zázrak jako z čítanky nebo z Bible, měla jsem se na to lépe připravit a zaznamenat to pečlivěji. Co se o tom dochová? Pár fotek? Na tak úžasnou věc to bude trochu málo.« »Bez obav,« ujistil ji Pepek. »Soňa má lepší způsob záznamu než fotografie i film.« Ukázal jí dívku, pohybující se poblíž. Nedržela sice fotoaparát ani kameru, ale Pepek Adélku ujistil, že používá tefirské záznamové prostředky a ty nejsou horší než pozemské. Spíš naopak, na tefirské plastické video pořád ještě nemáme. »Aspoň tak,« spokojila se s tím Adélka. »Jen by mě zajímalo, jak to dostanete do naší nedokonalé placaté televize.« »Zatím nijak,« pokrčil rameny Pepek. »Ale budeme to mít schované jako dokument pro budoucnost.« »Jenže tím prošvihnete jedinečnou příležitost!« tvrdila. »Kdybyste mi hned na začátku řekli, že ty děti chcete vzkřísit, zavolala bych si na to nějakého známého kameramana!« »Říct vám to už v Praze, zavolala byste na nás chlapy se svěrací kazajkou,« usmál se Pepek. »Vždyť jste nám nechtěla věřit ani to, že se k těm dětem vůbec dostaneme!« »Mohla jsem snad tušit, že děláte zázraky?« »Něco jste tušit mohla,« připomněl jí.

  • The Book of Revelation Bruce Metzger, Breaking the Code, 62
    The Book of Revelation Bruce Metzger, Breaking the Code, 62 “The sequence of the opening of the seven seals, broken by chapter 7, is now resumed: one more seal is to be opened, the last. And that, one would have thought, would be the end of the drama; after the earth had received such punishment, what more could still be in store? And so, with the seventh seal, the reader expects the final cataclysm. But nothing happens. Instead, ‘there was silence in heaven for about half an hour’ (8:1). It is like the solemn hush before the bursting of a hurricane. The effect of the pause is to heighten the horror of the next series of God’s judgments, each to be announced by the sounding of a trumpet.” The Seventh Seal (8:1-6) • Silence – trembling, fear, solitude, death because of divine judgment (Psa. 31:17; Isa. 47:5; Ezek. 27:32; Zeph. 1:7, 11; Hab. 2:20; Zech. 2:13) • This is in contrast to the great noise heard thus far and is very drawn out (a half-hour of silence?!) • Like a drumroll or delay before a jury shares a verdict • Seven Angels – Jews believed there were 7 archangels who were given authority over the nations (Psa. 78:49) – these were named Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Michael, Sariel, Gabriel, and Remiel (Tobit 12:15; 1 Enoch 20; cf. Dan. 10:13; 1Thess. 4:16; Jude 9); could be cultural or merely symbolic like the other sevens throughout the book The Symbolism of Trumpets • A signal that holy war was about to begin; thus another symbol of judgment • A call to assemble for attention/war/attack (Num.

  • Seven Angels and Seven Trumpets
    Seven Angels and Seven Trumpets The opening of the seventh seal in chapter 8 of Revelation leads immediately to a new series of sevens—seven angels with seven trumpets. With this new series of seven come violent signs upon the earth beginning with hail and fire mixed with blood. Though the events unfolding are dire, God’s mercy is shown through only a third dying (9:18). Some are sparred, offering yet another chance to repent. The Seven Angels—whileAngels this is the only reference within the Bible to “the seven angels,” there is a reference to them in the Book of Tobit, which was written between the time of the Old and New Testaments. Tobit 12:15 says, “I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who stand ready and enter before the glory of the Lord.” Also, the Prophecy of Enoch, an influential Jewish prophecy not found in scripture even names the seven angels as Uriel, Raguel, Michael, Sariel, Gabriel, and Remiel. These non-scriptural references would have been familiar to many in the churches who first received the Revelation to John as a letter. PlaguesPlagues—all commentators on this series of angels blowing trumpets note the similarities between the Plagues of Egypt (Exodus 7-10, Psalm 78:44, 105:27-36 and Amos 4:6-11) and the disasters that come here in Revelation. The thrust of the similarities show that Rome and other governments like it fall into the same patterns as Egypt did under the Pharaoh who countered Moses. Like the Pharaoh, they face the wrath of God.
