NOAH'S NETTLES

A little in the uncharted here, as Jeremiel is not really the Angel of May, but I find something rather intriguing about this figure.

It would so happen, I believe, or moreso hope, that Angels can manifest in the most random people; I believe we would be lucky to find traits of these beings of light in the people we surround ourselves with -- Our own judgement be divinely guided, we may find ourself in the consort of Angels, even if all we surround ourselves with are kind-hearted people - and Jeremiel is no exception. I found Jeremiel in a friend I made recently; you see, I have trouble sleeping, and I always have had trouble sleeping - but somehow, at the arrival of this human Jeremiel, and excuse me if this is silly, they showed me how to sleep again. I can't really put it into much words that will make sense, so I will stop here. But thank you, Jeremiel.

Jeremiel means "God's mercy." Other spellings include Jeremeel, Jerahmeel, Hieremihel, Ramiel, and Remiel. Jeremiel is known as the angel of visions and dreams. He communicates hopeful messages from God to people who are discouraged or troubled.
In the ancient book 2 Baruch, which is part of the Jewish and Christian Apocrypha, Jeremiel appears as the angel who "presides over true visions" (2 Baruch 55:3). After God gives Baruch an elaborate vision of dark water and bright water, Jeremiel arrives to interpret the vision, telling Baruch that the dark water represents human sin and the destruction it causes in the world, and the bright water represents God's merciful intervention to help people. Jeremiel tells Baruch in 2 Baruch 71:3 that "I have come to tell you these things because your prayer has been heard with the Most High."

Then Jeremiel gives Baruch a vision of the hope that he says will come to the world when the Messiah brings its sinful, fallen state to an end and restores it to the way God originally intended it to be: "And it shall come to pass, when he has brought low everything that is in the world and has sat down in peace for the age on the throne of his kingdom, that joy shall then be revealed, and rest shall appear. And then healing shall descend in dew, and disease shall withdraw, and anxiety and anguish and lamentation pass from among men, and gladness proceed through the whole earth. And no one shall again die untimely, nor shall any adversity suddenly befall. And judgments, and abusive talk, and contentions, and revenge, and blood, and passions, and envy, and hatred, and whatsoever things are like these shall go into condemnation when they are removed." (2 Baruch 73:1-4)

Jeremiel also takes Baruch on a tour of the different levels of heaven. In the Jewish and Christian apocryphal book 2 Esdras, God sends Jeremiel to answer the prophet Ezra's questions. After Ezra asks how long our fallen, sinful world will endure until the end of the world comes, "the archangel Jeremiel answered and said, 'When the number of those like yourselves is completed; for he [God] has weighed the age in the balance, and measured the times by measure, and numbered the times by number; and he will not move or arouse them until that measure is fulfilled.'" (2 Esdras 4:36-37)
