2409,ENT_ZOR_KHSHATHRA,aligned_with,ENT_ISR_MICHAEL,medium,"Khshathra Vairya (""Desirable Dominion"") is the Amesha Spenta of divine sovereignty and the ideal kingdom — the celestial realm that Ahura Mazda's sovereignty constitutes, with sky (heaven) as his physical correlate and metal (the material of weapons, coins, and royal power) as his material correlate. Michael is the archangel of divine sovereignty and the champion of God's people in Second Temple Judaism: Daniel 10:13,21 names him ""one of the chief princes"" and ""your prince""; Daniel 12:1 calls him ""the great prince who has charge of your people."" Both Khshathra and Michael are specifically associated with divine warfare and the protection/maintenance of the divine kingdom against adversarial powers (Angra Mainyu / the demonic; the nations that threaten Israel). The Khshathra/Michael alignment is the most frequently cited Amesha Spenta-archangel sovereign/warrior parallel. Boyce (1982) pp. 76-79; cf.
