      It is insane to see you have over a million subscribers and I started following your channel when you had like 400.. God bless you and your loved ones man.. Weird thing is after I said 400 Mally(my brother popped up which shows its been a few years at least minimum since because he's been in prison for like 3 years and I was watching your videos two years before that.. Not gonna detail too much but my brother malcolm had a drug addict appear at his door and attacked him trying to Rob him and my brother not being a soft touch took the knife and stabbed him with his own drug addict knife but my brother got prison time and the criminal junkie got a few months rehab).. Its not cool or fair because malcolm is genuinely a nice man but because he took the junkies knife and used it he got more time then the junkie.. Like the junkie never even got prison he got hospital rehab.. Its not fair at all.. My brother will be free later this year God be willing and state approves.. Its not fair at all.. It was self defense and at his home.. I'm gonna go look into law more, I'm hoping to get him a miscarriage of justice and reparations from mistrial settlement.. Please pray for him, he is mentally ill and reacted the way most would if someone pulled a knife and said give me everything g you have or ill stab you.. England courts of law are effing wrong..

    The way I always saw Samael, Azrael, Apollyon/Abaddon, and the Angels of Apocalypse who blow the trumpet to announce the day of Revelation as not demonic but rather as a sort of Dark Angel, as God both gives and takes away. These angels have been charged with the duty to bring forth destruction and represent the sheer destructive might that God can wield.

    I do remember Samael being a harbinger of death, but revered God and did things as with respect to his creator, and thusly, a far-reaching metaphor/personification for "God can turn the evils of people into opportunities for good." or something along those lines. Samael's name is so intrinsically connected to only the Greek texts, as the original Hebrew with such words were lost- so we are left with words like Sammani and Samiel- this one being from a supposed direct translation. What's weird is, in Hebrew, Sami means blind, so "The Blindness of God" could be a proper title when adding the el to it- as if to say, "God will turn a blind eye"- Sammani actually is two-prong in Greek, as the name might literally mean, "Flowering Hand". Not to mention, the actual Hebrew word "Sama'l" actually means "Use Your Left Hand" or "Turn Left Handed" and if you understand what the "left hand of God" means, you start to realize better what Samael actually might be- but if you don't, just consider that the Latin word for Left Handedness also means "Sinister". In some intricate way, Samael isn't the official Hebrew title, but Hebrew, Greek, and Latin are all very uniquely intertwined, and thus the angel might even be a personification of not only God's, but also our own, tendencies to be compassionate and coldhearted via different situations, and very rarely, at the same time. An angel of nuance... and anti-villain of sorts. Things we cannot place into our mortal boxes of "good" or "bad", and varies so much that it will be on different scales for different people, sometimes even the same people depending on the mind of said person.
    I don't really see how Samael can be linked with "that one Satan" that we call Lucifer, because, in Hebrew text, that title of Lucifer is literally "Helel" which lines up with all of the other angel names, but by some weird course of action, Lucifer was massively accepted as a name for the most pridefully created being long before the English translation of the KJV.

Think of like a toxic individual, as Samma can be used as a verb sometimes in relation to actions, but sometimes Hebrew can add suffixes and suffixes to titles, especially some incorporeal being you don't really know the actual name that God hath given.

      @@stuffylamb3420 In The Ancient Gods Part 1, Hayden was revealed to be the Seraphim (technically he is a makyr, the DOOM version of an angel). During the Doomslayer's time in Argent D'nur, the Seraphim was the one who granted him his power. The Seraphim also was a servant to the Father, who in The Ancient Gods Part 1 was revealed to be Vega. The Seraphim transformed himself as a human during his years in the UAC and adopted the name Samuel Hayden (I think this is what happened). The reason he wanted his robot body was so he could tread on Hell's soil. Because he is a makyr, and makyrs cannot set foot in Hell. During The Ancient Gods Part 1, Hayden transforms back into the Seraphim and abandons his robot body. So he can't set foot in Hell again, which was why the Doomslayer was sent to the blood swamps to retrieve the Father's life sphere. Even though the Slayer's intention was to destroy it so he could get the Dark Lord's life sphere and to resurrect him. So the Doomslayer goes back to Urdak to resurrect the Dark Lord.

    Well the name probably comes from Akkadian where it was one of the epithets for the God Ea who was equivalent to the later Sumerian God Enki. The creation myth of Sumeria states Enki created humans and shared with them procreation and knowledge in hopes that they would one day be able to become gods. So those stories and religion got passed onto the Cannenites who worshipped essentially the same gods with different names. A sect of them broke off, the Hebrews, and made Yahweh God God and made their version of Enki into the villain who tempted humanity and made us sin. I very much enjoy religion from a historical perspective. Going back and tracing how the stories changed as people migrated and met others

    I (someone from a harsh Catholic upbringing) was always thought that Samael was originally the name of Lucifer.
    Lucifer was the name given to him by the church to discredit the goal of luciferication (the enlightening) that the scientific scholarly few that the church viewed as heretical wished to bring about.
    The timeline I was told was samael was the original angel of mercy and death but grew jealous of humans free will so fomented an uprising. After which he was the angel of sin and rebellion.
    The term Satan was given to him by early religious scholars (some say by the Host) to refer to Samael as one of the punishments was that in addition to being removed from the light of god he was also stripped of the name god gave to him as that was part of god's grace.

      Samael/Lucifer/Satan then saw a lesser creature being given gods love and the ability to determine their own fates and grew jealous as he didn't understand why this lesser race was given such freedom when the host were not.
      He then tempted Adam and Eve to prove god fallible, (he said they were forbidden to do something and they did it anyway), and in proving that god's word was fallible used that doubt to start a rebellion, believing if god could be imperfect then what's to stop him from ruling instead.

But considering Yin and Yang(balance, which is constantly mentioned), because of death, there must be life. Because of pain, you can also feel pleasure. And because you can drown in misery, you can also float in happiness. A necessary evil is correct.

    So what's the difference between Samael and Azrael?
    Also could you talk about Ramiel? it would seem that he is one of (if not THE) most important arch angel. He'd also technically be one the most relevant angels within the bible considering he's largely responsible for all religious visions (and possibly all religious thought in general?)

    • @-jank-willson
      @-jank-willson Před 2 lety +4

      Its interesting since none of these arch angels are mentioned in the regular Bible except Michael and Gabriel. All the mentions of these other angelic entities are only mentioned in the books that have been dropped from the Bible over the years, or in obscure books from obscure versions of the Bible used in obscure christian denominations like Ethiopian Orthodox (which has 17 more books than the Greek orthodox and 20 more than roman catholic and 24 more than protestant...)

      Samael saved Lilith from death and loved her in general, no further info what happened to him, except that they were cursed by Jahve and all their children were demons. Azazel was one of the Angels who gave knowledge to the humanity and had a child with human woman. He was one of the Watchers, now punished by Jahve and chained under the ground, being tortured, waiting for the final days to come to be probably freed again.

    Samael seems to be a bringer of change, as he plante the tree, he migth have let Eva astray and as the engel of death. The only consistences is change. So maybe he is to demonic for the engels and to holy for the demons, he will bring change

    • @thecommentguy9380

      Change is what i would call both a blessing and curse, and is what set human apart from angels/demons
      With change we are given the ability to choose our own path in our existence, the freedom that demons and angels do not have as their nature is predetermined. So it would make sense for Samael to have it because from what i see, he's the between of the two, neither good nor evil.
      But we could also see him as a force of nature, as nature is unpredictable and the only way to survive it is to adapt, to change.

    Whenever i hear about Samael, i think about the wolf from the second puss in boots movie for the "death" and "terrifying badass" aspect.
    And on the other hand on a few lines from "the plagues" in prince of egypt.
    "I send a pestilence and plague
    Into your house, into your bed,
    Into your streams, into your streets,
    Into your drink, into your bed,
    On your cattle, on your sheep
    On your oxen, in your field
    Into your dreams, into your sleep,
    Until you break, until you yield
    I send the thunder from the sky,
    I send the fire raining down,
    I send a hail of burning ice,
    On every field, on everytown
    I send the locusts on the wind,
    Such as the world has never seen,
    On every leaf, on every stalk,
    Until theres nothing left of green
    I send the swarm, i send the horde,
    I send my scourge, i send my sword.
    Thus said the lord"
    I could honestly imagine him walking down a dark hallway, quietly singing that. He is terrifying, and he is twisted, and i would love to see an accurate represantation in a movie or something like that.

      Blud I think Samael is a dark aggresive angel(Azreal is not a jerk like him) who has to do what he gotta do. I don't think hes evil, he's just misunderstood and a mystery. What i think makes him different from Azreal is his lack of remorse for humans and I think he is the angel who is sent by the Lord to test our faith in God. I think he's a dark but honest reprisentation that death is grim. He may be an angel but what ever duty he must fufil whether wrestling a man to going house to house killing infants HE WILL DO IT because one thing Samael will NEVER do is disobey the lords requests and orders. This is why i think of him as beerus from dragonball super, he's just doing what he must do. Thats also why i think lucifer and the anti-christ is more evil than Samael

    @StRapier Před rokem +1

    From a Tao/Buddhist perspective to look at this, whether Samael is an angel or demon, it doesn’t matter. Whether or not he serve God or rebel against God, also doesn’t matter. What matters most is he tests the faith of Man, and makes us question our faith. From this perspective, the focus of Man should be to keep our faith strong to God, rather than to spend time and effort to identify his other creations. God chose us to be his favourite, and made us in his image, we may possess potential beyond all his other creations, but not while we are on Earth. So while being here, we should cultivate our soul to have an ultimate bond with God through an unbreakable Faith, only then, everything will flow into us naturally and we will transcend beyond all expectations.
    Hence, looking from this perspective, he actually helps us to further understand our faith and recognise where our flaws are. With tremendous effort, we may be able to perfect our relationship with God, as Samael points out where our weaknesses are.

    In my eyes Samael is a primal entity, first angel that created death, I dont think he was evil since nothing is eternal in mythology it seems like, souls need to rest and thats whats Samael is for. But since the entity of life creates the souls, and we now have consciousness. Because we associate death with negativity and all that other angels took over probably, so I dont think Samael is evil but his actions mightve formed a lot of negativity?

    Samael is the Angel of God's Judgment. He is the chief of the Archangels and often acts in ways that are beyond the comprehension of mortals. His goal is to test men for their true mettle do determine if they truly do have the character to follow God. Also, recall that most of what we know of Samael comes from the Talmud and from Enoch, both of which were written from perspectives that would have been naturally antagonistic toward Samael and the Archangels in general. Samael is also the angel that wrestled Jacob in the book of Genesis. He is not evil, but he plays the role of the bad guy very often because someone has to.

Then Samael stopped her and saved her live out of love to her. He was the only one truly loving her. Then Jahve punished her, that she would delivered children in pain and all of their children will be dead aka demons. But she stayed with him. So who is the asshole in this story?
