"God's warriors" can refer to figures in religious texts like King David, Joshua, and Samson in the Bible, divine beings like the Archangel Michael, or even modern religious activists; in fiction, they are the giant, ancient bioweapons from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

Three brothers – Gabriel, Michael and Lucifer.
Angels are protectors and spiritual guides, watching over individuals and helping them on their journey of faith, while archangels, higher up in the celestial hierarchy, are sent by God to carry out missions of the utmost importance.
Psalm 109 is powerful because it's a raw, honest prayer of extreme distress and betrayal, calling for God's justice against enemies, often seen as a prophetic model for spiritual warfare, divine retribution against slander, witchcraft, and curses, and a deep expression of trusting God to enact vengeance, not personal revenge, especially recognized for its Messianic implications regarding Judas's betrayal. It's considered a potent prayer because it allows believers to voice deep anger and despair, turning the situation over to God for divine intervention, believing God will reverse evil and punish the wicked.
The lists are not identical, but putting them together we read that there were four: Saph (also called Sippai), Lahmi, Ishbibenob, and an unnamed warrior. The descriptions are similar to that given to Goliath, noting “great stature” and the dimensions of their weaponry.
They are also genderless and, although I follow the tradition of referring to Michael with masculine pronouns and gendered titles such as “prince”, it is important to remember Michael is not a man or a male angel. Angels are not human and thus exist outside of human ideas of gender.
So many others often go unrecognized for the pivotal role they played in carrying out God's intentions and delivering His message. These are the women warriors of the Bible. We will take a closer look at several of them (Ruth, Deborah, Lydia, and Priscilla) and how God used them to advance the kingdom.
After Noah was born, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Lamech lived 777 years, and then he died.
In the Genesis patriarchal narrative, Jacob spends the night alone on a riverbank during his journey back to Canaan. He encounters a "man" who proceeds to wrestle with him until dawn. In the end Jacob is given the name Israel and blessed, while the "man" refuses to give his own name.

Michael over all the angels; They say he is called “Archangel” because he is the prince of the other angels. Gabriel, which means “strength of God,” is one of God's chief messengers. In the Christian tradition, Gabriel is ever the angel of mercy while Michael is rather the angel of judgment.
The two are regarded as the same individual; Noah being his mortal name and Gabriel being his heavenly name.

Signs of an Angel in Human Form
The only named angels in the Bible—Michael and Gabriel—are referred to in the masculine. “ Michael and his angels” (Revelation 12:7); “Mary was greatly troubled at his [Gabriel's] words” (Luke 1:29). Other references to angels are always in the masculine gender. In Judges 6:21, the angel holds a staff in “his” hand.

We've learned from the lore that nephilim are more powerful than regular angels specifically because of the combination of angel grace plus a human soul. Jack no longer has a soul, so in theory, he has only angel grace left. Therefore he should be comparable in power to Lucifer or the other archangels.
