Specific Angels

SPECIFIC ANGELS
There are only two angels in the Bible that are specifically named and designated. They are Michael and Gabriel.

Michael the Archangel.

Michael is mentioned by name as “one of the chief princes” in the angelic community in Daniel 10:13 where he comes to the aid of another angelic messenger. He is mentioned again in Daniel 12:1 as the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people. This guardianship is alluded to in Jude 1:9 when we read of Michael disputing with Satan over the body of Moses. In Revelation 12:7-9, we are treated to a vision in which Michael leads the holy angels into a war against Satan and his forces. The end comes when Michael and his hosts cast out Satan and his followers.

Gabriel. The angel Gabriel is known for his announcements to Daniel (Daniel 8:16; Daniel 9:21), to Zacharias (Luke 1:11-20) and to Mary (Luke 1:26-37). He describes himself as the one who stands in the presence of God (Luke 1:19).
