Hebrew, “Tzadiqiel,” “Righteousness of God” or “Grace of God.” Rabbinical tradition considers him to be the angel of mercy. Some Rabbinical traditions hold that Zadkiel is the angel of YHVH. 4 Moses states that he was “from the first day of creation” (4 Moses 30:7). Zenos 9 implies that he is John the Baptist and opened the sixth seal at the death of Jesus.
