In the
MERKABAH
, one of eight great angelic
PRINCES
of
the throne of judgment who rank higher than Meta-
tron. Azbogah means “strength,” and it also is a secret
name of God, one of the
NAMES
of Divine Glory and a
name of power.
Azbogah is significant in
GEMATRIA
because it has
three groups of letters that each add up to eight. The
eightfold name reflects the concept in
GNOSTICISM
of
the Ogdoad, the eight firmament in which dwells
Divine Wisdom, and which is over the seven firma-
ments of creation.
In 3
ENOCH
, Azbogah YHVH is an angelic prince, a
glorious and dreaded angel who knows the secrets of
the throne of Glory—that is, he is privileged to serve
within the curtain that hides God. He is called Azbo-
gah because his principal duty is to clothe the worthy
with righteousness when they arrive in heaven. He
bows down to Soperiel.
Azbogah is invoked as an angel of healing against
all illness, all hurt, and all evil.
