I am just grateful. I have angels, people who are kind to me when I need it and out of the blue.
I get jealousy from people who think I have achieved more than they. We all do, if we have achieved something someone else has not.

At any rate, I was getting a good dose of it today. Out of nowhere, a man who is a published professional Astrologer wrote something so wonderful about me.

It had to be God and angels and I am very thankful.

In turn, I always try to build people up because I want to be an angel, too.

Just wanted to share that.

Thank you, again, Dani.

It's Hebrew, like in Elohim.

Aleph, Lamed
(Ox, Serpent with it's tail raised)

"Mighty" shortened from "Strength."

Has special significance to Mercy, Beneficence (Jupiter.)

Isn't that Greek?

Like in Helen.

The Angel names are definitely of Hebrew origin.

Basically the same, though.

not that i'm aware of.

i thought its roots were from Sanskrit. Will have to do more searching as it's been a long time. maybe later

this came up in a google search.
http://www.bibleanswerstand.org/God.htm

HISTORY ON THE USE OF THE WORD “EL”:

“El” = GOD or god ('el 410). This term was the most common general designation of deity in the ancient Near East. While it frequently occurred alone, ‘el’ was also combined with other words to constitute a compound term for deity, or to identify the nature and functions of the “god” in some manner. Thus the expression “God, the God of Israel” (Genesis 33:20) identified the specific activities of Israel's God.

In the ancient world, knowledge of a person's name was believed to give one power over that person. Knowledge of the character and attributes of pagan “gods” was thought to enable the worshipers to manipulate or influence the deities in a more effective way than they could have if the deity's name remained unknown.

To that extent, the vagueness of the term ‘el’ frustrated persons who hoped to obtain some sort of power over the deity, since the name gave little or no indication of the god's character. This was particularly true for El, the chief Canaanite god.

The ancient Semites stood in mortal dread of the superior powers exercised by the gods and attempted to propitiate them accordingly. They commonly associated deity with the manifestation and use of enormous power. Hence the common meaning of the word for God (el) simply meant, “strength” or “strong.”

The concept of a deities’ strength or might is reflected in the curious Hebrew phrase, “the power (‘el’) of my hand” (Genesis 31:29), KJV; RSV, “It is in my power”; cf. (Deuteronomy 28:32).

Some Hebrew phrases in the Psalms associated ‘el’ with impressive natural features, such as the cedar trees of Lebanon (Psalms 80:10) or mountains (Psalms 36:6). In these instances, ‘el’ conveys a clear impression of grandeur or majesty.

Names with ‘el’ as one of their components were common in the Near East in the second millennium B. C. The names Methusael in Genesis 4:18 and Ishmael Genesis 16:11 come from a very early period.

In the Mosaic period, ‘el’ was synonymous with the Lord who delivered the Israelites from bondage in Egypt and made them victorious in battle (Read Numbers 24:8). This tradition of the Hebrew ‘el’ as a “God” who revealed Himself in power and entered into a covenant relationship with His people was prominent in both poetry (Psalms 7:11; 85:8) and prophecy (Isaiah 43:12; 46:9).

The name of ‘el’ was commonly used by the Israelites to denote supernatural provision or power. This was both normal and legitimate, since the covenant between “God” and Israel assured an obedient and holy people that the creative forces of the universe would sustain and protect at all times. Equally, if they became disobedient and apostate, these same forces would punish them severely.

(From Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words) (Copyright (C) 1985, Thomas Nelson Publishers)

SUMMARY OF FACTS ON THE HEBREW WORD ‘EL’ FOR GOD

This term was the most common general designation of deity in the ancient Near East.

[bThe word ‘el’ was also combined with other words to constitute a compound term for deity, or to identify the nature and functions of the “god” in some manner. [/b]

Knowledge of the character and attributes of pagan “gods” was thought to enable the worshipers to manipulate or influence the deities in a more effective way than they could have if the deity's name remained unknown. To that extent, the vagueness of the term ‘el’ frustrated persons who hoped to obtain some sort of power over the deity, since the name gave little or no indication of the god's character.

The name of ‘el’ was commonly used by the Israelites to denote supernatural provision or power.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD BIBLE ENCYCLOPEDIA ON THE WORDS ‘EL’, ‘ELOHIM’ AND ‘ELOAH’

1. ‘El’: In the group of Semitic languages, the most common word for Deity is El (‘el’), represented by the Babylonian ilu and the Arabic ‘Allah’. It is found throughout the Old Testament, but more often in Job and Psalms than in all the other books. It occurs seldom in the historical books, and not at all in Leviticus. The same variety of derivations is attributed to it as to ELOHIM, most probable of which is the Hebrew root word ‘ul’, meaning, “to be strong.” Brown, Driver, and Briggs, Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament interprets ‘ul’ as meaning “to be in front,” from which came ‘ayil’, “ram” the one in front of the flock, and ‘elah’, “the prominent.”

I don't like to say I had supernatural experiences because people get nutty about it but I think I had one a month ago.

I was cutting lettuce and the knife slipped and would have cut off the top of my finger. I felt the knife move on it's own and I sliced some of the nail.

I had to wear a band aid for a month until the nail grew but that was all.

I think many of Lindaland's posters are open to tales of supernatural experiences, so please don't hold back, Ami, because of a few more "conservative" souls who might think you're nuts. Who cares?

I, for one, know that angels exist. And here's one of the many stories that convinced me:

The guy who is in prison that I know (please don't reference his name on this forum, I'll explain why later) told his wife a story about angels and she repeated it to me. Basically, some other prisoner(s) were stealing some of the food he was buying from the prison commissary, so he complained to the powers that be, i.e., ratted them out. Well, it wasn't long before they got him (alone) while he was showering, managed to get the key to the shower room so they could lock everyone else out. They beat him mercilessly. Then guess what happened? Two huge men, he described them as the biggest men he has ever seen before, 7 feet tall, very scary, very imposing figures, somehow (how?) made it into the locked shower room and beat the **** out of the guys that were beating him up. Then they left, never to be seen again amongst the prison population. Never. Ask yourself why they were never seen again.... hmmmmm....
