Archangel Raphael
Archangel Raphael is known as the angel of healing. He works ld people’s minds, spirits, and bodies so they can enjoy peace and good health to the fullest extent of God’s will for them.
When Raphael is around, you may experience many different signs of his compassionate care for you. Here are some signs of Raphael’s presence when he is nearby:
Raphael Brings New Information or Ideas that Promote Healing
Raphael often brings to mind fresh information or new ideas that you can use as valuable tools to pursue healing from whatever is ailing you, believers say.
In their book, “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Connecting with Your Angels,” Cecily Channer and Damon Brown write: “Except in situations where a person’s death or illness is part of their overall divine plan, Archangel Raphael will energetically promote healing. Look for him to inspire you with sudden insights giving you just the right information to help the healing.”
“Archangel Raphael frequently answers prayers by whispering suggestions that you hear as thoughts, feelings, dreams, and visions,” writes Doreen Virtue in her book, “The Healing Miracles of Archangel Raphael.” When you get a strong hunch to take positive action, know that this is an answered prayer. Follow your hunches and they wiII lead you to renewed peace.”
Mary LaSota and Harriet Sternberg write in their book, “Archangel Raphael: Loving Messages of Joy, Love, and Healing for Ourselves and Our Earth,” “Raphael is known to grant process.

If the healing is for you, watch for some sign: a thought, idea, or inner message, is there is an underlying reason for the illness, such as hatred, for example, Raphael will in some way point petitions quite expeditiously and he will guide you through the healing process.
Ac this out to you. It may then be transmitted to love, thereby speeding up your recovery time.” Not only will Raphael help 700 figure out how best to pursue healing for yourself, but he will also guide medical professionals to make the right decisions about your care or the care of a loved one you are supporting in prayer, write LaSota and Sternberg in, “Archangel Raphael: Loving Messages of Joy, Love, and Healing for Ourselves and Our Earth,” “Raphael feels partial to those in all healing professions and will in some way guide those individuals who are unsure about what directions to take for appropriate health care for their patients.
He will offer ideas for speedy healing and assist in a medical crisis by getting together the perfect team of professionals to work together.”
Raphael has a sense of humor that people often notice when he communicates with them about healing insights, writes Virtue in, “The Healing Miracles of Archangel Raphael,” “Raphael also shows a brilliant sense of humor in his display of help. An example that always brings a smile to my face is his habit of pushing books off shelves. Many people report finding healing books in their homes that they never bought, or discovering ones in their shopping carts that they didn’t place there.”
A Fresh Appreciation of Nature
Whenever you notice the beauty of God’s natural creation around you and sense an urge to take good care of it, Raphael may be nearby, say believers. Raphael is passionate about convincing people to pursue healing not only for themselves but also for the Earth’s environment.
Richard Webster writes in his book, “Raphael: Communicating With the Archangel For Healing and Creativity,” “Whenever you see anything particularly beautiful or striking in nature, you can thank Raphael for looking

after the planet. Tell him that you will do your part to make the world a better place for the present inhabitants, and also for future generations.
You might choose to do this by picking up some of the rubbish left behind by previous visitors, or by tidying up an area that has been disturbed. You will feel Raphael’s presence around you as you do this, and you will also feel good about doing something positive for the environment.”
Help Healing Broken Relationships
Another sign of Raphael’s presence with you is guidance that you receive about how to heal and restore relationships you have with others that have become broken, believers say.
“Raphael heals rifts in relationships and mental and emotional issues as well as physical ill health,” writes Christine Astell in her book, “Gifts from Angels: An Uplifting Collection of Real-Life Angel Encounters.” “More and more we are awakening to the understanding of how closely linked emotional issues are to disease in the body, and that working on the spiritual levels will almost definitely help with all types of illness.”
The way that Raphael often chooses to help heal your relationships is by encouraging you to communicate your feelings fully to other people, write Linda and Peter Miller-Russo in their book, “Dreaming With the Archangels: A Spiritual Guide to Dream Journeying.” “Raphael will help you move from repression of your feelings to the full, honest, and complete expression of your reactions to life. Until you allow yourself to unwind your repressions, you will be unable to connect to your deeper feeling nature. Raphael will assist you with this by gently nudging you to express your true feelings to yourself and those around you. This will increase the level of communication within your relationships, bringing you closer to those you love, to God and to yourself.”
Archangel Uriel
Archangel Uriel is known as the angel of wisdom. He shines the Tight of God’s truth into the darkness of confusion. Uriel means “God is
Christian Angelology
77 my light” or “fire of God.” Other spellings of his name include Usiel, Uzziel, Oriel, Auriel, Suriel, Urian and Uryan.
The faithful turn to Uriel for help seeking God’s will before making decisions, learning new information, solving problems and resolving conflicts.
They also turn to him for help letting go of destructive emotions such as anxiety and anger, which can prevent believers from discerning wisdom or recognizing dangerous situations.
Symbols of Uriel
In art, Uriel is often depicted carrying either a book or a scroll, both of which represent wisdom. Another symbol connected with Uriel is an open hand holding a flame or the sun, which represents God’s truth. Like his fellow archangels, Uriel has an angelic energy color, in this case. Red, which represents him and the work he performs. Some sources also attribute the color yellow or gold to Uriel. AM Ws ‘ake
Uriel’s Role in Religious Texts
Uriel isn’t mentioned in canonical religious texts from the world’s major religions, but he is mentioned significantly in major religious apocryphal texts. Apocryphal texts are religious works that were included in some early versions of the Bible but today are considered to be secondary in importance to the scripture of the Old and New Testaments.
The Book of Enoch (part of the Jewish and Christian Apocrypha) describes Uriel as one of seven archangels who preside over the world. Uriel warns the prophet Noah about the upcoming flood in Enoch chapter
10. In Enoch chapters 19 and 21, Uriel reveals that the fallen angels who rebelled against God will be judged and shows Enoch a vision of where they are “bound until the infinite number of the days of their crimes be completed.” (Enoch 21 :3)
In the Jewish and Christian apocryphal text 2 eke sends Uriel to answer a series of questions that the prophet Ezra asks God. When answering
Christian Angelology
Ezra’s questions, Uriel tells him that God has permitted him to describe signs about good and evil at work in the world, but it will still be difficult for Ezra to understand from his limited human perspective.
In 2 Esdras 4:10-11, Uriel asks Ezra: “You cannot understand the things with which you have grown up; how then can your mind comprehend the way of the Most High? And how can one who is already worn out by the corrupt world understand incorruption?” When Ezra asks questions about his personal life, such as how long he’ll live, Uriel replies: “Concerning the signs about which you ask me, I can tell you in part; but I was not sent to tell you concerning your life, for I do not know.” (2 Esdras 4:52)
In various Christian apocryphal gospels, Uriel rescues John the Baptist from being murdered by King Herod’s order to massacre young boys around the time of Jesus Christ’s birth. Uriel carries both John and his mother Elizabeth to join Jesus and his parents in Egypt. The Apocalypse of Peter describes Uriel as the angel of repentance.
In Jewish tradition, Uriel is the one who checks the doors of homes throughout Egypt for lamb’s blood (representing faithfulness to God) during Passover, when a deadly plague strikes first-born children as a judgment for sin but spares the children of faithful families,
Other Religious Roles
Some Christians (such as those who worship in the Anglican and Eastern Orthodox churches) consider Uriel a saint. He serves as the patron saint of the arts and sciences for his ability to inspire and awaken the intellect.
In some Catholic traditions, the archangels also have patronage over the seven sacraments of the church. For these Catholics, Uriel is the patron of confirmation, guiding the faithful as they reflect on the holy nature of the sacrament.
Uriel’s Role in Popular Culture
Like many other figures in Judaism and Christianity, the archangels have been a source of inspiration in popular culture. John Milton included
Christian Angelology
79 him in “Paradise Lost,” where he serves as the eyes of God, while Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote a poem about the archangel that describes him as a young god in Paradise.
Archangel Selaphiel
Selaphiel means “the prayer of God” or “one who prays to God.” Other spellings include Zerachiel, Selapheal, Salathiel, Selathiel, Sealteal, Seraphiel, Sarakiel, Sariel, Suriel, Suriyel, and Saragael. Archangel Selaphiel is known as the angel of prayer. He helps people connect to God through prayer, giving them the focus they need to block out distractions and concentrate on praying. Selaphiel motivates people to express their deepest thoughts and feelings to God in prayer, and to listen carefully for God’s responses.
Symbols
In art, Selaphiel is usually depicted in one of two ways. Icons of Selaphiel from the Orthodox Church show him looking downward with his hands crossed over his chestan expression of both the humility and concentration that he encourages people to have when praying to God. Catholic art usually shows Selaphiel holding a water container and two fish, which represents God’s provision through prayer.
Role in Religious Texts
In the ancient text 2 Esdras, which is part of the Jewish and Christian apocrypha, the prophet Ezra (the great-grandfather of Noah, who built an ark to save the planet’s animals from the worldwide flood) describes how his mind had become troubled from thinking about how much pain people’s sins cause them, and when he was despairing, archangel Selaphiel “held me. comforted me, and set me up upon my feet” (verse 15), and then talked with Ezra about what was troubling him.
Selaphiel also appears in verse 31:6 of the apocryphal Jewish and Christian text The Conflict of Adam and Eve, which describes how God sends him to help rescue Adam and Eve from Satan’s deception,
Christian Angelology
commanding Selaphiel “to bring them down from the top of the high mountain and to take them to the Cave of Treasures.”
Christian tradition names Selaphiel as the angel in Revelation 8:3-4 of the Bible who presents the prayers of people on Earth to God in heaven: “Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand.”
Other Religious Roles
Selaphiel serves as the official saint of prayer for members of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The folk traditions of the Roman Catholic Church also venerate Selaphiel as the patron saint of prayer. In astrology, Selaphiel is the angel of the sun, and he works with the archangel Jehudiel to rule the movement of the planets. Selaphiel is also said to help people understand and interpret their dreams, help heal people from addiction, protect children. Preside over exorcisms on Earth and rule over music in heaven - including leading the heavenly choir that sings praises to God.
Archangel Raguel
Archangel Raguel is known as the angel of justice and harmony. He works for God’s will to be done among people, and also among his fellow angels and archangels. Raguel wants you to experience the best life possible - the life God wants for you. Here are some signs of Raguel’s presence when he is nearby:
Archangel Raguel Helps to Bring Justice to Unjust Situations
Since Raguel is very concerned about justice, he often delivers strength to people who are working to fight injustice.
If you notice answers to your prayers about unjust situations - whether in your own life or in the lives of other people - Raguel may be at work
Christian Angelology
81 around you, believers say. In her book Soul Angels, Jenny Smedley writes that Raguel “is said to dispense judgment and justice should the other angels not be able to agree on a fair course of action. Raguel is also the angel to pray to if you feel that no one else will listen and that you’re being treated unfairly, either at work or in the home.”
Raguel may communicate with you by guiding you to direct your anger at injustice toward coming up with constructive solutions to unjust situations you encounter personally. Another way that Raguel may help bring justice to unjust situations in your life is by helping you overcome apathy about those situations and urging you to take action to do what’s right whenever you can. So if you notice wake-up calls to do something about problems like dishonesty, oppression, gossip, or slander, be aware that it may be Raguel who is bringing those problems to your attention.
When it comes to dealing with unjust situations in the world around you - such as crime, poverty, human rights, and taking care of the earth’s environment - Raguel may lead you to get involved in certain causes to become a force for justice in the world, doing your part to help make it a better place.
Archangel Raguel’s Role in New Ideas for Creating Order
If some new ideas for creating order in your life come into your mind, Raguel may be delivering them, say believers.
Raguel is a leader within the group of angels known as principalities. The principalities are famous for helping people create order in their lives, such as by inspiring them to practice spiritual disciplines on a regular basis so they can develop habits that will help them grow closer to God. Some of those disciplines include praying, meditating, reading sacred texts, attending worship services, spending time in nature, and serving people in need.
Principality angels such as Raguel also give people who are in charge of others (such as government leaders wisdom to know how best organize their programs. So if you’re a leader within your sphere of influence (such
Christian Angelology
as a parent raising children or a team leader at your job or in your volunteer work), Raguel may send you messages containing fresh ideas for how to lead well. Raguel may communicate with you in a variety of different ways - from speaking to you or sending you a vision in a dream, to sending you creative thoughts while you’re awake.
Archangel Raguel’s Guidance for Repairing Relationships
Another sign of Raguel’s presence in your life is receiving guidance about how to repair a broken or estranged relationship.
Doreen Virtue writes in her book Archangels 101: How to Connect Closely with Archangels Michael, Raphael, Uriel, Gabriel and Others for Healing, Protection, and Guidance: “Archangel Raguel brings harmony to all relationships, including those of friendship, romance, family, and business. Sometimes he’ll instantly heal the relationship, and other times he’ll send intuitive guidance to you. You’ll recognize this guidance as repetitive gut feelings, thoughts, visions, or signs that lead you to take healthful action steps in your relationships.”
If you get help resolving conflicts in your relationships with other people, especially if you’d prayed for that help, Raguel is one of the angels whom God may assign to provide that help to you.
Archangel Barachiel
Barachiel is an archangel known as the angel of hindeetaas angel is also the chief of all of the guardian angels. Barachiel (who is also often known as “Barakiel” means “God’s blessings.” Other spellings include Barchiel, Baraqiel, Barkiel, Barbiel, Barakel, Baragel, Pachriel, and Varachiel.

సాక్ష్యం 8. THIRTEEN PRINCIPLES OF JEWISH FAITH
In the beginning the world principle must have been referred to the chief official of a school and also the chief of the college is called principal. The world principal was used in the sense of plural to main persons in a business. It was also used in connection with the basic amount of money excluding the interest or fees in the monthly mortgage payment that helps to reduce the amount on the property. Again this world principal on the other hand is principal referred to a fundamental truth and also on the ethical rule of conduct. Finally the world principal is used for the fundamental truth of science. This meaning may be taken for granted for the present crucial topic thirteen principles of Jewish Faith. And it is going to be discussed in the following way.
Before discussing the thirteen principles in detail, it is better to know the Bio data of the author of that famous topic. And the period in which he lived and also under what circumstances he was forced to wrote on such topic. The name of that author was “Rambam” he composed this doctrinal declaration during twelveth century. So to say he was one of the most influential Rabbis in Jewish history. Even today he is remembered by the affectionate and reverential aerogym Rambam. This name was actually the combination of the Hebrew letters “Resh Mem Bet Mem” (RAMBAM) and this is described in this way rabbi Moses ben Maimnides, it was said in his ease that only highly respected rabbis used to be called and known by such acronym. There is even today Rambam synagogue in the Jewish colony of the old city of Jerusalem, which has been memorising His name and teaching.
He was born in 1135 A.D. in the province of Cordova in Spain and lived up to 1204. It was the beginning of the 13th century the most crucial period known as the heights of medieval papal power. Rambam was will know as a physician, philosophy a rabbi and also known as a man of renaissance. He worsted with the physical body, the human souls, its ideas on the spiritual theology of his time. The geography of his hard work could
Christian Angelology
85 be found in Cordova and even today at Andalusia in Spain. His writing was kept in the places like south Morocco, in Egypt Andalusia, and they became great learning centres because of his work. And finally it happened to be a reference to the Islamic, southern part of Spain. The province of Cordova in the days of Maimonides allowed Christians, Jews and Muslims to leave together peacefully. But after some time the Muslim armies happened to conquer that vision in 711 A.D. and after them crusaders continued throughout the life time of Maimonides.
Maimonides grew up well educated by begin to track in a multi religious centre. At that time a huge crusader ceramics lower battling with the Muslims, so critically even to the death in the name of their faith towards Almighty God. At the same time in the papal influence of the vicar of St. Peter in Rome was ascending above the earthly kings Europe. In the means time the Christian, Muslim clash of arms took place not only in the Holy land but also simultaneously in Spain and North Africa. So, this religious based turmoil prompted publishing a manifesto concerning the belief of the Jewish people. That so called manifesto was not only for the realization and unity of his own people and also the Jews who were living in the troubled medieval period but also it was to inform both Christians and as Jews. The reasons might be more informed even more surprised while reading the thirteen principles of Jewish faith.
These principles were penned at about 1200 A.D. almost 600 years after the Muslims started troubling the Jews. And also it was after twelve centuries that Jesus Christ ministered to those people in Galilee and Judea. Those principles where actually meant for the present action of traditional Jewish beliefs. The thirteen principles are as follows.
1.I believe with perfect faith that the creator blessed be His name. He is
the Author and guide of everything that has been created and that He
alone has made does make and will make all things.
2. I believe with perfect faith that the creator blessed be His name is a
unity and that there is no unity in any manner like unto His and that
He alone is our God, who was is and will be.
Christian Angelology
3.I believe with perfect faith that the creator blessed be His name is not
a body and that He is free from all accidents of the matter and that He
has not any from whatsoever.
4. I believe with perfect faith that the creator blessed is His name and
He is the first and the last.
5.I believe with perfect faith that the creator blessed be His name and to
Him alone. It is right to pray and that it is not right to pray anything in
addition to the God Almighty.
6.I believe with perfect faith that all the words of the prophets are true.
7.I believe with perfect faith that the prophecy of Moses our teacher
peace be unto him was true and that he might be called the chief of
the prophets both of the that were before him and those that would
come after him.
8.I believe with perfect faith that the whole law in our possession is the
same that was given to Moses our teacher peace be unto him.
సాక్ష్యం 9. I believe with perfect faith that the law will not be changed and that
there will never be any other law from the creator blessed be His name.

History. I will wait daily for His coming.
13.I believe with perfect faith that there will be a resurrection of the deed
at the time when it shall please the creator blessed be His name and
exalted be the remembrance of Him forever and ever. The Hebrew lit
lees “Shelash Asser, Aherim its literal meaning is three ten roots” or this
can be more correctly translated as the thirteen principles following is
the detailed description of each principle.
Christian Angelology
87 ONE – I believe with perfect faith the creator blessed be His name He is the author and guide of everything that has been created that He alone has made does make and will make all things. This principle is really wonderful and good. It speaks early about Darwinistic evolution which is concerned to the millions of animals on the planet. The life sustaining atmosphere and their harmony with the sun to the blind. The unguided chance of making millions of them to move earthly in proper direction. As there believes it is better to look into the book Gospel of John 1:1-3 with regard to the first principle that is In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. The doctrine of trinity or the tri-unity was revealed biblically that that the Lord Jesus is eternal living and had participation in all the creation.
And in the book of revelation in 4:11 it is said how the host of heavenly bodies have been worshipping God the father as creator and declare thou art worthy O Lord to receive glory and honour and power for thou hast eternal all things and for thy pleasure they are and were created. In addition to the there is another example from Revelation in 5:12 it is said that the heavenly bodies worship the son (Jesus) with those words of majesty worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength. And honour and glory and blessings let us also see the references in the Genesis 1:2 “and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the earth” TWO – I believe with perfect faith that the creator blessed be His name. He is a unity that there is no unity in any manner like unto His and that He alone is our God, who was is and will be.
This is actually most suitable to the New Testament revelation of Trinity most suitable to the New Testament Revelation of “Trinity”. The well noted theologians during all the centures starting from Augustine up to the present day. They have spoken humanity and by means of God head. Even the prophecy of the minor prophet (Micah 5:2) who spoke seven centuries before the birth of Christ and His coming as Messiah from
Christian Angelology
Bethlehem or Ephratha). The same point was mentioned in the Old Testament, seven hundred years before the birth of Jesus Christ the Messiah. His birth was informed to the humanity by the revelation of the eternal existence of the Messiah.
THREE
– I believe with perfect faith that the creator blessed be His name is not a body and that He is free from all accident of the matter and that He has not any from whatsoever. Jesus spoke at the supper among the disciples as mentioned in John 14:7-9
“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?”
Philip one of the disciples of Jesus Christ became anxious regarding the arrest of his masters life burst out what he had, in his mind. He asked Jesus to show them His father. Philip had personally witnessed the healing and curing many people and also speaking holy and wonderful words. But now he wished to His father God. Who is unseen and His activities. And now all the Christians would certainly agree with Rambam’s basic. Principle that God is a spirit. He made a physical world and not made eternity. Jesus said to the woman at the well of Jacob in Samaria that God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship in Him spirit and truth (John 4:24). Jesus the son however became a human with a true body at the incarnation (in flesh). In this context Apostle Paul whom we may even call Rabbi wrote to the believers in Philippi explaining to them most of the mystery of the incarnation of Jesus. He wrote who being in the form of God thought it not rabbai to be equal with God but mode himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in fashion as a man he humbled himself and became obedient unto death even the death on the cross. (Philippians 2:6-8)
Christian Angelology
89 Four - I believe with perfect faith that the creator blessed is His name and He is the first and the last.
Jesus declares in Revelation 1:11 I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: it is His clear declaration of His duty. As alpha is first letter in the Greek alphabet and Omega is the last word. Christ wants to affirm Apostle John at the else of Patmos and also all the believers that He was first alpha hence creator but not created. And His identity was more emphasized by saying that He is eternal and nothing will be there to come after Him or beyond Him. “I believe with perfect faith that to the creator blessed be His name and to him alone if it is right to pray and that it is not right to pray any being besides Him”
With this principle the entire Bible will agree as we find in Revelation 19:10 “And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” It is clearly said in the New Testament that Christians should pray to the father in the name of the son through the Holy Spirit. So, according to John 14:13-14 Jesus said in the last supper “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” That the father may be glorified in the son. It ye shall ask anything in my name I will do it. In the same way in the mystery of the trinity in the New Testament Jesus at times forgives and does healings in direct answer to the agreement of the believers. Jesus does not like even to hear when we pray to His Father. The quotation from the book of John 4:41-43 can throw more light on this information. “Then they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
This passage clearly tells us that there is continuous spiritual connection between the father and the son. Here Jesus need not repeat the words of His request but only express some words for the hearing of
Christian Angelology
the crowds so that it would be clear to the believers to understand that Christ raised Lazarus according to the will of His Father but He did not do it independently. There is more to say here that is Jesus and the New Testament stress more the spirit of prayer then putting everything in correct formal wording. So, to say the opinion of the writer was that praying to God or to His divine son is more needed. What we can read in Luke 7:48- 50 “And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, who is this that forgiveth sins also? And he said to the woman, “Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace” Six - I believe with perfect faith that all the words of the prophets are true.
This is really good statement of the penman. It is quite appropriate to look into the words of one of the greatest Jewish prophets Isaiah. In Isaiah 52:13, 55:12 and also this passage is known generally Isaiah 53
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:5-6
Apart from this let us look into another passage written by the prophet Zechariah 9:9 in the Old Testament. This passage speaks about the entrance of the Messiah into Jerusalem on a donkey and that look place on Palm Sunday. As mentioned in the Bible the birth of Jesus took place in Bethlehem. And that was clearly said in Micah 5:2. And it is also said in Isaiah 7:11 about His holiness, gentleness, righteousness and goodness. Regarding the suffering of Jesus for our sins is mentioned in psalms 22. Blessing on the above said passages let us join our hands with author Rambam and declare that all the words of the prophets are trece. And these words spoken by Rambam many centuries ago. SEVEN: I believe with perfect faith that the prophecy of Moses our teacher peace be unto him was true and that he might be called the chief of the prophets both of the that were before him and those that would come
