What is an archangel?
An archangel is a chief angel
or the prince of the angels. The
word "archangel" can be found twice
in the Scriptures. The archangel
Michael is also called a "prince" in
the book of Daniel.
"For
the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel, and
with the trump of God: and the dead
in Christ shall rise first" (1
Thessalonians 4:16).
"Yet
Michael the archangel, in
contending with the devil, when he
disputed about the body of Moses,
dared not bring against him a
reviling accusation, but said, "The
Lord rebuke you!"
(Jude 1:9).
"But
I will tell you what is noted in the
Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds
me against these, except Michael
your prince" (Daniel 10:21).
"At
that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands
watch over the sons of your
people; and there shall be a time of
trouble, Such as never was since
there was a nation, Even to
that time. And at that time your
people shall be delivered,
every one
who is found written in the book"
(Daniel 12:1).
