Archangel
American Tract Society Bible Dictionary
This world is only twice used in the Bible, 1 Thessalonians 4:16 Jude 1:9 . In this last passage it is applied to Michael, who, in Daniel 10:13,21 12:1 , is described as having a special charge of the Jewish nation, and in Revelation 12:7-9 as the leader of an angelic army. So exalted are the position and offices ascribed to Michael, that many think the Messiah is meant.
