ARCHANGEL RAFAEL

The Archangel Raphael is one of the main characters in the biblical Book of Tobit. He is sent to Nineveh to heal Tobit's blindness and to marry Sarah, who is being captivated the demon, to his son Tobias. As an unrecognized travel companion, Raphael protects Tobias, shows him how to extract the cure for his father from the gall of a fish, ties up the demon and marries Tobias to Sarah. They travel back to Nineveh, and when Tobit, Tobias and Sarah want to pay him, Raphael reveals himself to be an angel and returns to heaven. When he says goodbye, he introduces himself as "one of the ten angels" who "stand ready and go in before the glory of the Lord", where they bring the prayers of the righteous before God.

The Book of Tobit was handed down in Greek and is therefore not part of the canon of the Jewish Bible. However, the late Jewish Ethiopian Book of Enoch counts Raphael among the “archangels,” the four highest angels, and among the group of ten angelic princes, which was adopted by early Christian literature. Archangel Raphael is portrayed in his professional life as a healer and pharmacist. He is similar to Archangel Gabriel in his reactions!
