The four most often depicted in art are: Gabriel, the messenger of God who brought the announcement of Christ's birth to the Virgin Mary; Michael, the dispenser of justice; Raphael, the healer and protector of travellers; and Uriel, the angel of prophecy and wisdom.
The three Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael are the only angels named in Sacred Scripture and all three have important roles in the history of salvation.
Azrael, angel of death is prevalent in a few religions. Depending on the religion, Azrael is either portrayed as a servant of God or as a fallen angel that serves Satan.
Azrael is an Angel and one of Lucifer Morningstar's younger siblings. She served as the Angel of Death and was responsible for collecting Human souls from the dead, to bring them to either Heaven or Hell.
The name Azrael is both a boy's name and a girl's name of Hebrew origin meaning "help of God". This is the name of Angel of Death in Jewish and Muslim tradition, not a great start for an innocent child -- or a great role model for a teenager.
Therefore, the first creation by God was the supreme archangel followed by other archangels, who are identified with lower Intellects. From these Intellects again, emanated lower angels or "moving spheres", from which in turn, emanated other Intellects until it reaches the Intellect, which reigns over the souls.
It depicts Christ the King in the centre with nine angelic figures, each of them represents, higher row: Dominions, Cherubim, Seraphim, and Angels; lower row: Principalities, Thrones, Archangels, Virtues, and Powers.
And the lowest orders are “Principalities”, “Archangels” and just common “Angels” – basically, everyone below the more senior public service/military levels mentioned above. In the highest orders, “Seraphim” – literally “burning ones” – serve as the throne guardians of God.
For centuries, Angels have been depicted as masculine or androgynous beings. With the rise of Divine Feminine energy on Earth, the feminine aspects of these Angelic beings are now being revealed. The female Archangels, the Archeiai, are here to help you harness your Angelic power and create your own Heaven on Earth.
Gabriel is said to be the archangel responsible for transmitting God's revelations to all prophets, including revealing the Quran to Muhammad and inducing him to recite it. Various hadiths (traditions) mention his role in delivering messages from "God the Almighty" to the prophets.
Azrael is the name given to the Angel of Death. The Angel of Death appears in numerous religious texts. In the Quran, he is referred to as Malak al-Maut, and in the Zohar, he is called Azriel.
Michael the Archangel is God's most trusted angel and carries out heaven's commands. He is heaven's most powerful archangel. In the Old Testament, Daniel calls Michael “one of the chief princes” and calls him the guardian of the Israelites.
Michael the Archangel, in the Bible and in the Qurʾān (as Mīkāl), one of the archangels. He is repeatedly depicted as the “great captain,” the leader of the heavenly hosts, and the warrior helping the children of Israel.
They believe that name "Michael" signifies "One Who Is Like God" and that as the "Archangel" or "chief or head of the angels" he led the angels and thus the statement in Revelation 12:7–9 identifies Jesus as Michael.
Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel (Salathiel), Jegudiel (Jehudiel), Barachiel, and the eighth, Jerahmeel (Jeremiel) (The Synaxis of the Chief of the Heavenly Hosts, Archangel Michael and the Other Heavenly Bodiless Powers: Feast Day: November 8).
In Jewish history, they have names: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Jeremiel, Raguel, Zerachiel and Remiel. We also know that Lucifer was once included among them, but lost his rank and position when he sinned and was thrown down to earth.
In Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), Gabriel (/ˈɡeɪbriəl/ GAY-bree-əl) is an archangel with power to announce God's will to men. He is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Quran.
by The Revd Dr Jarred Mercer, Associate Chaplain and Career Development Researcher at Merton College. The Annunciation: Luke 1.26-38: In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David.
He is regarded as the archangel of the North, and of the element of Earth. According to the teaching of the modern Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Uriel is the archangel of North and of Earth, and is thus associated with the vegetation of the Earth.
Each of these angels has different responsibilities: Michael is a warrior, Raphael is a guardian, and Gabriel is a messenger. But they share a common purpose: they act on behalf of God, helping His people and bringing Him glory.
The Church told us not to.
“The practice of assigning names to the Holy Angels should be discouraged, except in the cases of Gabriel, Raphael and Michael whose names are contained in Holy Scripture.” The Church discourages this practice for our own protection.
Thus, according to the teaching of the Church, angels do not have names in the same way that we do. In fact, not every angel even has a name. Angels only receive names in the context of the nature of the duty or function they are called to perform. The most famous angels from the Bible are Michael, Raphael and Gabriel.
Before the creation of man, Azrael proved to be the only angel brave enough to go down to Earth and face the hordes of Iblīs, the devil, in order to bring God the materials needed to make man. For this service he was made the angel of death and given a register of all mankind.
