I realize this is a very old thread, however, I was compiling some information for a friend and come across the forum and wanted to post to clear a few things up.
I work as a Theology and History professor and I noticed a few inconsistencies in the information provided in this thread. First, Angelic Script isn’t really considered a legitimate language by any major Christian faith or credible historians.
There are two forms that are commonly referred to in popular culture and television. The first would be Heinrich Agrippa’s creation which is typically referred to as either Angelic or Celestial Script. It is a derivative of the Hebrew and Greek alphabets and he created it in the early 16th century. Agrippa indicated he created the language as a means of communicating with Angels. While Agrippa did research occult matters he was primarily an intellectual and wasn’t really an occult practitioner. So his version had nothing to do with spells, incantations or any other magik hokum.
The second “language” which is often sited in movies and television would be Enochian. This was created by Dr. John Dee with assistance from Sir Edward Kelly in the late 16th century. Dee and Kelly did not refer to the language as Enochian, that name was given later likely due to Dee claiming that Enoch was the last individual to speak the language. Most of Dee’s writing refers to it in terms such as Angelical or Celestial. The alphabet of Enochian is completely created and may have loosely been based on Hebrew or Cuneiform or even a mix of the two. It’s structure is comical and no serious theologian or credible historian would think of it as anything but a fabrication. The structure is no where near any kind of ancient language and actually seems to have an English derived grammatical structure.
There’s nothing in any version of any biblical text that indicates either of these “languages” were divinely inspired. Although, of the two, Enochian is really the only one that has been and likely is still used by occultists and new age groups. Which, at least in my opinion, kind of detracts from the any legitimacy they might seek.
I’ve seen this Prophecy movie and the symbols used are closer to Agrippa’s language, but aren’t exactly the same and seem to have been concocted for the movie. I saw mention in previous posts that it might relate to Kabbalah or Jewish mysticism. That is incorrect, Judaism doesn’t use any type of symbolic lettering, pictograms or runes and instead utilizes the Hebrew alphabet.
So in summary the content of that movie was pure fiction.
