He rules over music&#0160;in heaven&#0160;and helps people on Earth use music to communicate with God in prayer.&#0160;Sandalphon means &quot;co-brother,&quot; which refers to Sandalphon&#39;s status as the spiritual brother of the archangel&#0160;Metatron. The ending of -on indicates that he ascended to his position as an angel after first having lived a human life, believed by some to be the prophet Elijah, who ascended to heaven on a horse-drawn chariot of fire and light.&#0160;Other spellings of his name include Sandalfon and Ophan (Hebrew for &quot;wheel&quot;).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Sandalphon also receives the prayers of people on Earth when they arrive in heaven, and he then weaves the prayers into spiritual flower garlands to present to God, according to the liturgy for the&#0160;Jewish&#0160;Feast of Tabernacles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">People sometimes ask for Sandalphon&#39;s help to deliver their prayers and songs of praise to God, and to learn how to use their God-given talents to make the world a better place. Sandalphon is said to have lived on Earth&#0160;as the prophet Elijah&#0160;before ascending to heaven and becoming an archangel, just as his spiritual brother, Archangel&#0160;Metatron, lived on Earth&#0160;as the prophet Enoch&#0160;before becoming a heavenly&#0160;archangel. Some people also credit Sandalphon with leading the&#0160;guardian angels; others say that Archangel&#0160;Barachiel&#0160;leads the guardian angels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&#0160;In art, Sandalphon is often depicted playing music, to illustrate his role as the patron angel of music. Sometimes Sandalphon is also shown as an extremely tall figure&#0160;since Jewish tradition says that the prophet&#0160;Moses&#0160;had a vision of heaven in which he saw Sandalphon, whom Moses described as being very tall.&#0160;&#0160;The angel color of&#0160;red&#0160;is associated with Archangel Sandalphon. It is also associated with Archangel Uriel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Sandalphon rules one of the seven levels of heaven, according to religious texts, but they don&#39;t agree on which level. The ancient Jewish and Christian non-canonical Book of Enoch says that Sandalphon rules over the third heaven. The Islamic&#0160;Hadith&#0160;says that Sandalphon is in charge of the fourth heaven. The Zohar (a sacred text for Kabbalah) names the seventh heaven as the place where Sandalphon leads other angels. Sandalphon presides over the exit from the spheres of the Kabbalah&#39;s Tree of Life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Sandalphon is said to join the angelic armies that archangel&#0160;Michael&#0160;leads to fight&#0160;Satan&#0160;and his&#0160;evil forces&#0160;in the spiritual realm. Sandalphon is a leader among the seraphim class of angels, who surround God&#39;s throne in heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">In astrology, Sandalphon is the angel in charge of planet Earth. Some people believe that Sandalphon helps differentiate the gender of&#0160;children&#0160;before they&#39;re born.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Source: Learnreligios.com Feb. 8, 2021<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Archangel Sandalphon is known as the angel of&#0160;music.
