Also, their individual gifts? I have tried online, and it is very confusing to find this information. I am doing research on individual angels.

Jesus said he could ask for legions of angels help if he wished. I read a legion is over 6000. So this being plural.....'tis a lot.
The bible does not name them. I know there are over 7 types.

Dionysius, a 5th or 6th century writer gives us the hierarchical order of the angels. The first group is the seraphim, cherubim and thrones. The word seraphim (singular is saraph) is taken from the fiery imagery often associated with the Presence of God-- Ezek. 1:27.

Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew" . Isaiah 6:2

"So He drove out the man; and placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life". Gen. 3:24

The name cherub (cherubim plural) denotes the power of knowing and beholding God. Their receptivity to the most high gift of light. Their contemplation of the beauty of the divinity in its first manifestation. They are filled by participation and divine wisdom and bounteously outpour to those below them from their own fountain of wisdom. Satan/Lucifer was a Cheribum -Dionysius.
Archangels: The 3rd group includes the principalities, protectors of nations, the archangels, and the angels who protect humans. The word "archangel" is not found in the Old Testament.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first" 1 Thess. 4:16.

Raphael is the healing angel. Many nurses and physicians claim angels have guided them.

And now the Lord has sent me to heal thee, for I am the angel Raphael one of the 7 who stand before the Lord. -Book of Tobias




Throughout history and parts of the world, angels have different meanings and different powers, but all angels are able to do special things for believers. Each angel was a distinct species. Medieval thought was that angels were a distinct being, endowed with intelligence and free will, which humans could never hope to attain. To others, angels are here to serve the human race, to guide us, to protect us, but never to interfere in our free will; as we humans are higher than angels, as we are children of God, and made in the image of God and they are to serve God.
.



Gabriel, the angel of the enunciation, in Daniel. 8:15-26 and 9:21-27. Gabriel also appears in Luke 1:11 Zechariah was in the sanctuary when an angel of the Lord appeared, standing to the right of the incense altar. 19 Then the angel said, "I am Gabriel! I stand in the very presence of God. It was he who sent me to bring you this good news!.

As a messenger angel. 'principalities' comes in the form of communicating to people about their personal problems or life decisions. Some believe that Gabriel submits prayers to heaven or bring information to us.

Uriel is an angel of death who was also thought to be the angel of transformation, is believed to be standing by people on the verge of death.
Michael the archangel appears as a warrior angel in 1 Thess. 4:16 and Jude 9. Michael is said to be the defender angel who does battle Daniel 10:13, 21; and 12:1. Also in Romans. 8:38, Eph. 1:21, and Col. 1:16.

The guardian angels are all aspects and forms of Michael, personal guardian angels, as well as those that help armies and protect nations. They say that earth has an angel.

Also bible says that some of the fallen angles are in a part of Hell called, "Tartarus" in chains awaiting judgment day!
Creepy eh?

"I anxiously await the Christian apologists who will undoubtedly enlighten me to my erroneous ways." This attitude of yours - will NOT get you a serious answer. When you people lighten up, perhaps those of us who do have some real knowledge to offer, will give it. And don't bs us saying you don't want to know what we know. Otherwise, you wouldn't write the question. I understand human psychology very well. In answer to your first sentence, the reason that Jesus' resurrection is not a "legend", is because it was written in the Bible more than once, by different people, the same way. When you were born, was YOUR story told with every detail, down to the last diaper pin, exactly the same way each time? Highly unlikely. Therefore, EVERYBODY is a legend then, right?

Put on a google for The Book of Enoch. Jesus and the early disciples quote from it and was accepted in the teaching of their day. For some reason, in the 3rd century AD, someone decided it was heresy and texts were burned. Over the last century, lost texts have been discovered and have become invaluable as reference for Christians. Many good Christian bookshops now stock it. You'll find the info you're looking for in the first few chapters. Will also help to understand Revelations better.

They are not listed in the Bible because we have no need to know them.
