How do we know about arch angels?

Answer 1

in medieval angelology archangels were high ranking angels who belonged to the eighth of the nine ranks of the Celestial Hierarchy. The word from Middle English and from Old French is 'archangele' and 'archangelus' from Late Latin. 'Arkhangelos' from Late Greek.

Pseudo-Dionysis, a scholar who gave us the possibly one of the best known forms of the Celestial Hierarchy, lists the following angels as being among the highest ranking: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Chamuel, Jophiel and Zadkiel. Although depending upon which scholar or listing is used variations and additions can occur. Some listings give mention to Raguel, Remiel, Sariel, and Raziel among others. However, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel are nearly always given the post.

An Archangel is a superior or higher-ranking angel. They are found in a number of religious traditions, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Zoroastrianism.

The word archangel derives from the Greek αρχαγγελος archangelos = αρχ- arch- ("first, primary") and αγγελος angelos ("messenger").
