Archangel, a chief angel, only twice used in the Bible. 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Judges 1:9. In this last passage it is applied to Michael, who, in Daniel 10:13; Daniel 10:21; Daniel 12:1, is described as "one of the chief princes," having a special charge of the Jewish nation, and in Revelation 12:7-9 as the leader of an angelic army.
