>hear stories of heavenly beings, messengers of God
>archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel appear in texts
>later Christianity keeps these names, builds hierarchy of angels
>but origins go deeper
>Zoroastrianism = Persia, predates much Jewish angelology
>Ahura Mazda = supreme God, aided by Amesha Spentas (holy immortals)
>Amesha Spentas = 7 divine emanations, protect creation, guide humanity
>each Amesha Spenta = divine attribute + cosmic force
>examples:
>Vohu Manah = Good Mind / compassion could become Raphael (healing, guidance)
>Asha Vahishta = Truth / cosmic order Michael (war, protection, enforces divine law)
>Kshathra Vairya = Divine Power / ideal dominion Gabriel (messenger of authority, revelation)
>Spenta Armaiti = Devotion / piety Uriel (light, wisdom, spiritual insight)
>Haurvatat & Ameretat = Wholeness & Immortality combined in angelic care of life, sustenance
>Babylonian Jewish texts start elevating angels: Michael as protector of Israel, Gabriel as divine messenger
>later Jewish apocalyptic works (Daniel, Enoch) expand angel hierarchy
>Christianity inherits this, codifies hierarchy: Thrones, Dominions, Principalities, Archangels
>archangels now: mediators, cosmic enforcers, healers, bringers of divine revelation
>ritual reverence = “angel worship,” really structured veneration
>prayers, protective amulets, church art all reflect Amesha Spentas’ attributes
>dualism persists: good angels vs. fallen angels (Satan/Lucifer echoes Angra Mainyu, destructive spirit)
>planetary and cosmic associations emerge later:
>Michael = Sun / Mars war/protection
>Gabriel = Moon / Mercury communication, revelation
>Raphael = Mercury / Venus healing, guidance
>Uriel = Sun / Saturn illumination, wisdom
>essentially: Jewish/Christian angelology = Zoroastrian cosmology adapted to monotheism
>humans now have spiritual scaffolding: angels mediate divine will, enforce cosmic order, guide souls

Not OP here,
Aside the Zoroastrianism being the basic lore that structured Abrahamic religion, it has an older common origin with Vedic religion.
E.g. Zoroastrianism god Yima is the vedic god Yama
Yet with Devas/Asuras value is inverted.

All that [*]aside there is plenty of link between Ancient Iranic Aryans and Ancient Indian Aryans through Kshatriya and Dolar dynasties, e.g. Surya warrior-class-worshipers [the solar dynasty] founded Jainism and Buddhism.
