ππ₯γ‘γ€γγ«π§π― (npub1elmβ¦8rwv) The word for Angel in Hebrew, Malakh, means messenger, and various deities in West Asian pagan religions did have the local Semitic cognates for Malakh as titles for certain deities. For example, Malakbel, a sun god from Palmyra, whose name means "Messenger/Angel of Bel", Bel being Marduk
There is also the personal god in Sumerian and Akkadian religion, which everyone is assigned 2 of, a female Lamma and a male Lamassu, who function very similarly to the concept of the Guardian Angel.
Really, God in the West Asian pagan context is much more like Kami in Japan or Shen in China
