Zechariah 1:8-2:5; 3:1-7; 4:1-10 > An Angel Talks With Zechariah. NOTE: Zechariah 4:10 Speaks Of "...Those Seven; They Are The Eyes Of The Lord, Which Run To And Fro Through The Whole Earth". The Ancient Church Teaches That These "Seven" Are The Seven Archangels. In The Book Of Tobias (Tobit), Which Was Included In The Septuagint*, Raphael Identifies Himself As One Of The Seven Archangels. Raphael Means "It Is God Who Heals". In Tobias Chapter 12 Raphael Disquises Himself As A Human, Keeps Tobias Safe On A Journey, Chases Away A Demon, And Heals Tobias Of His Blindness. In John 5:3-9, Is It Possible That The Angel That Was Believed To Stir The Water Was Raphael???

*The Septuagint Was The Greek Translation Of The Hebrew Scriptures (Our Old Testament), and was the Scriptures of the early Church. Thus, The People Of Jesus Day Would Have Been Familiar With The Book Of Tobias And Therefore Knew Of Raphael.
