You're an Angel | Leonard Sweet, LenTalk #110, PreachtheStory, Lectionary Semiotics, 01May2022

About this sermon

This week Dr. Sweet explains the importance of Angels and their manifestations in the Bible. If you've ever wondered about what all those composite beings and hybrid creatures like Seraphim, Cherubim, Archangels and Angels are doing in the Bible, this is your chance at a crash course in a biblical bestiary. Our Lectionary passages for this week: Acts 9:1-6, (7-20) Revelation 5:11-14 John 21:1-19 Psalm 30 I did not go into the angel "Metatron" (or Mattatron) that is mentioned in rabbinic Judaism---three times in the Talmud, a couple references in the Aggadah and a few passages in mystical Kabbalistic texts. No one knows where the name came, what level of angel, or why Metatron is never mentioned in the Bible. I suspect the name #Metatron was a secret password that opened some doors to further explorations of angelology, an "unveiling" if you will. So I have hunches, and guestimates, but no sure knowledge. But don't you love the name "Metatron?" Maybe someone could do a movie on it some day? A soundtrack for this vlog?
