Difference between revisions of "Archangel Sandalphon"

The name Sandalphon may be related to the Hebrew word ''sandek'', a kind of godfather (corresponding to the tradition of a station held by Elijah with regard to evocation of the [[prophet]] in his capacity being protector of unborn children). It might also be derived from the Greek prefix ''sym-/syn-'', meaning "together", and ''adelphos'', meaning "brother"; thus approximately meaning "co-brother", since the modern Greek word for "co-worker", ''synadelfos'' (συνάδελφος), has these roots as seen in the [[Book of Revelation]], chapter 19, verse 10. This probably refers to Sandalphon's relationship to Metatron, although this derivation shows uncertain Semitic influences.
