C. Organization of Angels
1. "Archangel"
a. Description : a title or rank; apparently a position over other angels;
Scripture only speaks of one (Michael; though some have seen
Gabriel as well - e.g. Milton, Paradise Lost)
b. Discussed :
(1) 1 Thessalonians 4:16
"For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a
loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the
trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first."
(2) Jude 9
"But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with
the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a
slanderous accusation against him, but said,
'The Lord rebuke you!'"
2. "Chief princes"
a. Description : Prince can be a designation for an angel; chief
prince, a title given to Michael (equivalent to archangel?)
b. Daniel 10:13 (NASB)
"But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me
for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief
princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings
of Persia."
