The Angel Raphael

1 Enoch 40:9a
9. The second is he who presides over every suffering and every affliction of the sons of men, the holy Raphael.

1 Enoch 53
6. Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel shall be strengthened in that day, and shall then cast them into a furnace of blazing fire, that the Lord of spirits may be avenged of them for their crimes; because they became ministers of Satan, and seduced those who dwell upon earth.

1 Enoch 67
1. After this he gave me the characteristical marks of all the secret things in the book of my great-grandfather Enoch, and in the parables which had been given to him; inserting them for me among the words of the book of parables. 2. At that time holy Michael answered and said to Raphael, The power of the spirit hurries me away, and impels me on. The severity of the judgment, of the secret judgment of the angels, who is capable of beholding—the endurance of that severe judgment which has taken place and been made permanent—without being melted at the sight of it? Again holy Michael answered and said to holy Raphael, Who is there whose heart is not softened by it, and whose reins are not troubled at this thing? 3. Judgment has gone forth against them by those who have thus dragged them away; and that was, when they stood in the presence of the Lord of spirits. 4. In like manner also holy Rakael said to Raphael, They shall not be before the eye of the Lord; since the Lord of spirits has been offended with them; for like Lords have they conducted themselves. Therefore will he bring upon them a secret judgment for ever and ever. 5. For neither shall angel nor man receive a portion of it; but they alone shall receive their own judgment for ever and ever.

The Angel Phanuel

those who hope to inherit timeless life. 10 These are the four malachim of
YHWH of Elohim and the four voices I heard in those days.’

1 Enoch 9:1-4
1. Then Michael and Gabriel, Raphael, Suryal, and Uriel, looked down from heaven, and saw the quantity of blood which was shed on earth, and all the iniquity which was done upon it, and said one to another. It is the voice of their cries;
2. The earth deprived of her children has cried even to the gate of heaven. 3. And now to you, ye holy ones of heaven, the souls of men complain, saying, Obtain Justice for us with the Most High. Then they said to their Lord, the King, Thou art Lord of lords, God of gods. King of kings. The throne of thy glory is for ever and ever, and for ever and ever is thy name sanctified and glorified. Thou art blessed and glorified. 4. Thou hast made all things; thou possessest power over all things ; and all things are open and manifest before thee. Thou beholdest all things, and nothing can be concealed from thee.

13. To Gabriel also the Lord said. Go to the biters, to the reprobates, to the children of fornication; and destroy the children of fornication, the offspring of the Watchers, from among men; bring them forth, and excite them one against another. Let them perish by mutual slaughter; for length of days shall not be theirs. 14. They shall all entreat thee, but their fathers shall not obtain their wishes respecting them; for they shall hope for eternal life, and that they may live, each of them, five hundred years.

Gabriel in Daniel and Luke

Daniel 9:20-23
While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before the LORD my God for the holy hill of my God, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, came to me in swift flight at the time of the evening sacrifice. He made me understand, speaking with me and saying, "O Daniel, I have now come out to give you insight and understanding. At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly loved. Therefore consider the word and understand the vision.

where was every secret of mercy and secret of righteousness.

1 Enoch 9:1
1. Then Michael and Gabriel, Raphael, Suryal, and Uriel, looked down from heaven, and saw the
quantity of blood which was shed on earth, and all the iniquity which was done upon it, and said
one to another. It is the voice of their cries;

1 Enoch 10:15
15. To Michael likewise the Lord said, Go and announce his crime to Samyaza, and to the others who are
with him, who have been associated with women, that they might be polluted with all their impurity.
And when all their sons shall be slain, when they shall see the perdition of their beloved, bind them for
seventy generations underneath the earth, even to the day of judgment, and of consummation, until the
judgment, the effect of which will last for ever, be completed.

answered, 5. And said : Enoch, why dost thou inquire respecting the odour of this tree? 6. Why art thou
inquisitive to know it?
11. And I blessed the Lord of glory, the everlasting King, because He has prepared this tree for the saints,
formed it, and declared that He would give it to them.


1 Enoch 41
8. After this I besought the angel of peace, who proceeded with me, to explain all that was concealed. I
said to him. Who are those whom I have seen on the four sides, and whose words I have heard and
written down? He replied. The first is the merciful, the patient, the holy Michael.

1 Enoch 53
6. Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel shall be strengthened in that day, and shall then cast them
into a furnace of blazing fire, that the Lord of spirits may be avenged of them for their crimes; because
they became ministers of Satan, and seduced those who dwell upon earth.

1 Enoch 58
1 In the five hundredth year, and in the seventh month, on the fourteenth day of the month, of the
lifetime of Enoch, in that parable, I saw that the heaven of heavens shook; that it shook violently; and
that the powers of the Most High, and the angels, thousands of thousands, and myriads of myriads,
were agitated with great agitation. And when I looked, the Ancient of days was sitting on the throne of
his glory, while the angels and saints were standing around him. A great trembling came upon me, and
terror seized me. My loins were bowed down and loosened; my reins were dissolved; and I fell upon my
face. The holy Michael; another holy angel, one of the holy ones, was sent, who raised me up. 2. And
when he raised me, my spirit returned; for I was incapable of enduring this vision of violence, its
agitation, and the concussion of heaven. 3. Then holy Michael said to me. Wherefore art thou disturbed
at this vision?

1 Enoch 66
14. And when the angels shall ascend, the water of the springs shall again undergo a change, and be
frozen. Then I heard holy Michael answering and saying, This judgment, with which the angels shall be
judged, shall bear testimony against the kings, the princes, and those who possess the earth.

1 Enoch 67
1. After this he gave me the characteristical marks of all the secret things in the book of my great-
grandfather Enoch, and in the parables which had been given to him; inserting them for me among the
words of the book of parables. 2. At that time holy Michael answered and said to Raphael, The power of
the spirit hurries me away, and impels me on. The severity of the judgment, of the secret judgment of
the angels, who is capable of beholding—the endurance of that severe judgment which has taken place
and been made permanent—without being melted at the sight of it ? Again holy Michael answered and
said to holy Raphael, Who is there whose heart is not softened by it, and whose reins are not troubled at
this thing? 3. Judgment has gone forth against them by those who have thus dragged them away ; and
that was, when they stood in the presence of the Lord of spirits. 4. In like manner also holy Rakael said
to Raphael, They shall not be before the eye of the Lord; since the Lord of spirits has been offended with
them; for like Lords have they conducted themselves. Therefore will he bring upon them a secret
judgment for ever and ever. 5. For neither shall angel nor man receive a portion of it; but they alone
shall receive their own judgment for ever.

1 Enoch 68
20. Its name is Beka. He spoke to holy Michael to discover to them the sacred name, that they might
understand that secret name, and thus remember the oath; and that those who pointed out every
secret thing to the children of men might tremble at that name and oath. 21. This is the power of that
oath; for powerful it is, and strong. 22. And he established this oath of Akae by the instrumentality of the holy Michael.

1 Enoch 70:4,11
4. And Michael, one of the archangels, took me by my right hand, raised me up, and brought me out to
where was every secret of mercy and secret of righteousness.
11. Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Phanuel, and the holy angels who were in the heavens above, went in
and out of it. Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel went out of that habitation, and holy angels innumerable.
16. The Ancient of days came with Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel, with thousands of
thousands, and myriads of myriads, which could not be numbered.

Daniel 10:13-14
The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael,
one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia, and came to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter
days. For the vision is for days yet to come.;
Daniel 12:1
At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people.
And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that
time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found
written in the book.

Angels in The Epistle of Barnabas

Dr. Jackson Snyder Translation

Chapter 18

1 Let us carry on toward a different type of awareness and instruction. There are two roads of instruction and authority – one of light and the other of darkness. There is a great gulf between the two roadways. Elohim’s appointed malachim are over the first. Satan appoints his malachim over the other. 2 On one side stands YHWH, yimlok l’olam; on the other side is the ruler of a world; a world presently drowning in evil.

Lightfoot Translation

Barnabas 18:1
But let us pass on to another lesson and teaching. There are two ways of teaching and of power, the one of light and the other of darkness; and there is a great difference between the two ways. For on the one are stationed the light giving angels of God, on the other the angels of Satan.

Barnabas 18:2
And the one is the Lord from all eternity and unto all eternity, whereas the other is Lord of the season of iniquity that now is.
