Description
I am sending u the angel Michael, WHO IS LIKE GOD.
MICHAEL is from the Hebrew, meaning WHO IS LIKE GOD (Kolatch, Alfred J. 1984. The Complete Dictionary of English and Hebrew First Names. Middle Village: Jonathan David. 161; idi, Smadar Shir. 1989. The Complete Book of Hebrew Baby Names. San Francisco: Harper. 64).
Hebrew Bible sources - In the last vision of Daniel, he is told about an angel saying ‘The great prince,’ Michael, who stands beside the sons of your people, will appear (Daniel 12:1).
Michael was the father of Sethur, and a member of the tribe of Asher (Numbers 13:13.
Talmud - Of three walking along, the teacher should walk in the middle, the greater of his disciples to his right, the smaller one at his left, and thus do we find that of the three angels who came to visit Abraham, Michael went in the middle, Gabriel at his right, Raphael at his left? (Yoma 37a).
Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Michael came to bring the tidings to Sarah [of the birth of Isaac]; Raphael, to heal Abraham; and Gabriel, to overturn Sodom. But is it not written, ‘And there came the two angels to Sodom at even [evening]?’ Genesis 19:1; Baba Metzia 86b).
Angels - Uriel, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael serve in the presence God and act as messengers of God.
(Davidson, Gustav. 1967. Dictionary of Angels: Including the Fallen Angels. New York: The Free Press. 298).
Kabbalah - The providence of God works through the angels, but these angels, in turn, work through the stars and the planets. Angelsare like souls to the stars, and this also means that the stars and planets are the bodies of angels (Kaplan, Aryeh. 1990. Sefer Yetzirah. The Book of Creation York Beach: Samuel Weiser 170, 172).
Liturgy - There are four angels mentioned in the Bedtime Shma. ‘May Michael be at my right Gabriel, Uriel before me, and Raphael behind me; and above my head the Presence of God [Shechina El] (Scherman, Nosson and Meir Zlotowitz. 1989. The Complete Art Scroll Siddur Nusach Ashkenaz. Mesorah Publications, Ltd. 295).
Kabbalistic name - Michael is the Angel associated with the planet Saturn (Kaplan, Aryeh. 1990. Sefer Yetzirah. The Book of Creation York Beach: Samuel Weiser. 168).
Kabbalah - The providence of God works through the angels, but these angels, in turn, work through the stars and the planets. Angels are like souls to the stars, and this also means that the stars and planets are the bodies of angels (Kaplan, Aryeh. 1990. Sefer Yetzirah. The Book of Creation York Beach: Samuel Weiser 170, 172).
Michael is one of the seven archangels. The names and functions of seven archangels in Enoch 20 are listed here:
Uriel who is over the world and over Tartarus;
Raphael who is over the spirits of men;
‘I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which go in and out before the glory of the Holy One’ (Tobit 12:15).
Raguel who is . . over the world of the luminaries (Charles, R. H. 1968. The Apocrypha and Pseudephigrapha of the Old Testament. Peabody: London: Oxford UP.567).
Michael, who is set over the best part of mankind and over chaos;
Sariel [Zariel], who is set over the spirits, who sin in the spirit;
Gabriel, who is over paradise, the serpents and the Cherubim;
Jeremiel, who God set over those who rise (Gilbert, R.A. Tr. R. H. Charles. 2003. The Book of Enoch the Prophet. (I Enoch 17).
“These seven angels are always in the proximity of God and are the ones that are always called upon to carry out takes of special significance for world history (Gilbert, R.A. Tr. R. H. Charles. 2003. The Book of Enoch the Prophet. 1 Enoch 20. Boston: Weiser Books. 17; Encyclopedia Judaica 1972. Ed. Cecil Roth. Jerusalem: Keter. v.2. 962). “These seven angels are always in the proximity of God and are the ones that are always called upon to carry out takes of special significance for world history (Gilbert, R.A. Tr. R. H. Charles. 2003. The Book of Enoch the Prophet. 1 Enoch 20. Boston: Weiser Books. 17; Encyclopedia Judaica 1972. Ed. Cecil Roth. Jerusalem: Keter. v.2. 962).
Angels - Uriel, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael serve in the presence God and act as messengers of God.
(Davidson, Gustav. 1967. Dictionary of Angels: Including the Fallen Angels. New York: The Free Press. 298).
Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha - Mikael, the great prince, is appointed over the seventh heaven, the highest one, which is called the ‘Araboth’ (Odeberg, Hugo. 1973. Enoch 3 or the Hebrew Book of Enoch New York: KTAV. 17:3, 46).
The Hebrew Letters featured in this painting are Mem Yud Caf Aleph Lamed. Taken together they spell MICHAEL.
Each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet has a special meaning and a story to tell. Here are a few brief ones about the letters in this painting.
MEM is the 13th letter of the Hebrew alphabet , has a numerical value of 40, makes a sound like the M in Middle. But according to the ancient kabbalistic text ‘Sefer Yetzirah,’ the MEM hummmmmms! Mem is composed of a Caf (20) and a Vav (6) = 26, which have the same GEMATRIA as the Four letter name of God, Yud (10) Hey(5) Vav (6) Hey (5) = 26, the holiest of God's Names.
Mem is usually associated with the word mayim - WATER or Eemah - MOTHER.
Tradition tells us that the engraving of the letters of the 10 commandments went all the way through the tablets, from the front side to the back side. Therefore the final Mem since it is completely closed, should have fallen out. . Because it did not, R. Hisda said that it stood there be means of a miracle (Shabbat 104a).
Sometimes when I meditate with this letter, the Mem acts like sort of a submarine for me. At other times I can breathe under water. Nice. Let me know how you do.
YUD is the 10th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, has a numerical value of 10, means HAND, makes a sound like the Y in Year and is a simple point. It is the smallest letter in the alphabet and yet is frequently associated with the very large concept of EMANATION, the highest level in the Four World paradigm of Kabbalah.
Menachot 29b teaches that the WORLD TO COME was created by use of the letter Yud.
When meditating with the Yud, the Yud presents itself right in front of me. It then enters into me right away filling me with a most peaceful feeling. I like to sit with this feeling as long as I can. When I think of the Yud I think of sitting still.
CAF is the 11th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, has a numerical value of 20, means PALM OF THE HAND, SPOON, CONTAINER and stands for bent objects. When the Caf has a dot in it, Caf makes a sound like the K in Kitchen. Without the dot it makes a sound similar to that made by the letter Chet. When functioning as a prefix CAF can mean AS, LIKE, WHEN, AT, ABOUT or ACCORDING TO.
When sitting in the Caf, which means PALM OF THE HAND, I feel like I am being held in the PALM of the Universe. Very comforting.
ALEPH is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and has a numerical value of one, meanings are: THOUSAND, MASTER, TEACHING, OX and the Aleph makes no sound.
The Aleph is composed of a Vav (6) and 2 Yuds (20). Their combined value is 26 which is the numerical value of the name of God - Yud (10) Hey(5) Vav (6) Hey (5). (Chefitz, Mitchell. 2001 The Seventh Tellin. New York: St. Martins Press. 219).
When one is meditating with the Aleph be prepared for hugs. The Aleph loves to give hugs and receive them.
Lamed is the 12th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, has a numerical value of 30, makes a sound like the L in Like, Lamed means both TO LEARN and TO TEACH.
The Lamed is the tallest and most majestic of all the letters. Indeed Rashi interprets A TOWER FLYING IN THE AIR (Hagigah 15b) - as applying to the upper stroke of the Lamed. The Lamed is generally considered to be constructed of a Caf (20) with a Vav (6). In this configuration the LAMED has a GEMATRIA of 26 - the same as that of the Yud (10) Hey(5) Vav (6) Hey (5) name of God (Haralick, Robert M. 1995. The Inner Meaning of the Hebrew Letters. Northvale: Jason Aronson. 180)
Since LAMED means LEARNING, it would seem that this would constitute a direct connection between LAMED, LEARNING and GOD.
