Best Answer

In ancient Persian mythology, Spenta Mainyu ("holy spirit") is the god of life and the personification of the good and the light. He is the twin brother of http://wiki.answers.com/articles/a/angra_mainyu.html(Ahriman), the god of darkness, with whom he fights an eternal battle.

In an earlier version of this religion, they both are the sons of http://wiki.answers.com/articles/a/ahura_mazda.html(Ormazd). But later there is no longer a distinction between him and Ormazd, and they become one and the same god. His name, Spenta Mainyu, is after that no longer used. He still is the twin brother of Ahriman, but now their father is the primordial god http://wiki.answers.com/articles/z/zurvan.html.

Archangels are believed to have originated as the seven Amesha Spenta of the Zoroastrian religion. They entered Judaism during the Babylonian Exile and soon found a place in Abrahamic traditions.Although God is said to be everywhere, omniscient and absolutely powerful, angels became known as the messengers of God, and sometimes his allies in his fight against apparently invincible foes.
