More about Arch Angel Raphael

Cody's Eye-Arch Angel Raphael is coming through-
At first i wondered why then Spirit told/tongue me---lol-The archangel Raphael is the angelic protector of beauty, harmony, and nature. He is often depicted with various plant-related symbols such as the tree branches in my picture-
As a particular enemy of the devil, he was revered in Catholic Europe as a special protector of sailors: My 33 yr old niece rough life divorced parents and alcohol involved said to me what makes you right all the time, i said the Holy Spirit and she replied fuck the holy spirit- so it hurt my heart to hear her say that so God sent Raphael to me after she left- lol
What does the Bible say about the angel Raphael?
Tob. 12. [15] I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the glory of the Holy One.
Raphael (UK: /ˈræfeɪəl/ RAF-ay-əl, US: /ˈræfiəl, ˈreɪf-/ RA(Y)F-ee-əl; "God has healed")[a] is an archangel first mentioned in the Book of Tobit and in 1 Enoch, both estimated to date from between the 3rd and 2nd century BCE.[4][5] In later Jewish tradition, he became identified as one of the three heavenly visitors entertained by Abraham at the Oak of Mamre. He is not named in either the New Testament or the Quran, but later Christian tradition identified him with healing and as the angel who stirred waters in the Pool of Bethesda in John 5:2–4,[4] and in Islam, where his name is Israfil, he is understood to be the unnamed angel of Quran 6:73, standing eternally with a trumpet to his lips, ready to announce the Day of Judgment. In Gnostic tradition, Raphael is represented on the Ophite Diagram.[6]
In the Hebrew Bible, the word 'מַלְאָךְ' (malʾāk̠) literally means messenger;[7] either human or supernatural in nature. When used in the latter sense it is translated as "angel".[8] The original mal'akh lacked both individuality and hierarchy, but after the Babylonian exile they were graded into a Babylonian-style hierarchy and the word archangelos, archangel, first appears in the Greek text of 1 Enoch.[9][10] At the same time the angels and archangels began to be given names, as attested in the Talmudic statement that "the names of the angels were brought by the Jews from Babylonia",[11] attributed to Shimon ben Lakish[12] or Rabbi Hanina[13] respectively.
