Archangel Sandalphon
Archangel Sandalphon is unusual, though not unique, in being
described as having been a mortal human (Elijah) "promoted"
to the angelic realm. Archangel Sandalphon features in the
mystical literary traditions of both Rabbinic Judaism and
early Christianity.
Archangel Sandalphon is said to be the twin of Archangel
Metatron (previously the biblical human Enoch). He is
sometimes described as "The Tall Angel"
and is generally depicted as being of extremely tall stature.
The name "Sandalphon" does not have the usual suffix
"el" meaning "in God" and so
is not as straighforward to translate or interpret as those
of most of the other archangels and many other angels. Another
exception to the general rule that the names of archangels
end in "-el" is Archangel
Metatron. Suggested meanings of the name "Sandalphon"
include "Messiah" and "Prince of Prayers".
