SAURON PORTRAYED AS MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

In Christian ethos, many different angels serve God. One of them is Michael the Archangel who leads God's army in the war against the red dragon Satan when he threatens to devour the divine child at the moment of his birth, who is none other than Jesus Christ. This powerful angel dwells at the right hand of God, a symbol that has persisted for thousands of years to convey God's noble goals. It is also attested in scripture that Jesus Christ stands at God's right hand at the great hour of judgment, which has led some theologians to interpret that Michael is actually Jesus in a different form. This is also plausibly reinforced by the meaning of Michael, which is 'Who is like God?' (Quis sicut Deus? in Latin). Their positioning at God's right hand has to do with how God was historically perceived as originating from the northern direction via the pole star, seen in the image of an All-Seeing Eye when all stars are observed as circumnavigating around the constant pole star at its center. When this eye-symbol of God looks down on Earth from the north, it is the western direction relative to our view that is thus His right hand. This direction sees the sunset into the western horizon where the glorious underworld exists, a place where all mortals should strive for their souls to travel in order to find paradise, as opposed to the eastern sunrise since it is the material realm of this world. All this ties in with the lore of the returned King Arthur as echoed in medieval British lore.
