And only one =E2=80=9Cgreat prince=E2=80=9D. Dan 12:1= a, In Daniel 12, the English phrase, "chief princes" is from the Hebrew, "rishon sar". The word, "rishon" is from Hebrew, "roshe" and means exactly the same thing as the Greek, "arche" or "archon". In fact, the Hebrew, "roshe" and the Greek, "arche", ARE THE SAME WORD in the most ancient proto-Greek and Hebrew dialects. The later Hebrew drops the leading, "a" from "arache" to form, "roshe" while the Greek retains it. A lot of Hebrew and Proto Greek words are identical words or nearly identical. Paleo-Hebrew was a pidgin language formed from the influence of many other languages in the regions the Hebrews journeyed, from Egypt, to Peria, to Grecia, and other regions of the ancient Near East and North Africa. The Hebrew, "Rishon sar" means the same thing as the Greek, "archon aggelo," or "archangel." So the, "chief princes" are the "archangels." Michael is not the only "archangel" as you claim. So we see that the bible does not say there is only one archangel. There are several archangels, or "chief princes" of the throne of Israel. Also, archangel does not imply a supernatural being, as some suppose. "Angel" simply means "messenger" or "envoy." It does not imply anything supernatural by itself. An apostle is an "angel" who proceeds directly from the King. The Greek word, Apostle could also be translated as Envoy or Ambassador. The Greek Apostle is also equivalent to "archangel" and the Hebrew for "archangel," the phrase, "rishon sar." There are at least twelve archangels under the new covenant: The twelve Apostles are all archangels. Peter is the chief of these archangels, and Christ is the King, or highest archangel of all, the one who proceeds directly from the throne of the Father to the other Princes or Archangels. --=20 NightBulb | https://nightbulb.net | Flip the night switch.
