The prototypes of the Abrahamic angels

[rupol2000]

These characters have parallels in ancient Sumerian-Akkadian mythology, and probably each of them can be associated either with a deity or even with a real person.

The names of these angels, as a rule, have a clear etymology, for example, many names end with "el", this is a borrowing from the ancient deity Elu.

Samuel could have been written off from a real character Sumu-la-El (also Sumulael or Sumu-la-ilu) that was a King in the First Dynasty of Babylon

 

[rupol2000]

All angels with the "el" postfix should be associated with Phenicia and Ugarit, since Ilu is their main deity

 

[rupol2000]

The very names of the Abrahamic chief god Elloh and Allah, are direct variants of the name Elu (ʾilāh).
Consequently, Abrahamism comes directly from Phenicia and Ugarit.

 

[rupol2000]

And names ending in "of" such as Sabaoth and Jaldabaoth (associated with Yahweh among the Gnostics) are obviously serpentine deities. The root of this is obviously a snake. For example, Ophelia was a vestal who listened to a snake.
There is clearly a chthonic origin, the same as that of the Greek titans.
The very name Ophelia easily decomposes into parts of snake - el

Samuel wasn't an angel...he was a prophet/judge of the people.

There was another Samuel, the one you are talking about is just a name. According to Abrahamic myths, this is the enemy of Michael

in translation it is the Poisonous God(as it is considered)

 

[rupol2000]

Samuel is identified with Satan himself, and once he was the most powerful of the seraphim, he had 12 wings.

 

[rupol2000]

By the way, it was initially possible there was an opposition of seraphim / elohim

Ok, I've heard of him. Samael and Samuel (Shmuel in Hebrew) are completely different names.
