Michael is called an archangel in the book of "Jude" verse 9.
Gabriel is also said to be an archangel.

I know there will be many who get upset about this, but if you study the Bible and take into account that Satan was at one time a beautiful angel who served God.... and that he was able to lead 1/3 of the angels agains God....

I am going to say that there were 3, Michael, (maybe Gabriel), and Satan. Each one in charge of 1/3 of the angels, and Satan was able to lead his angels against God, that is the only way that makes since that he was able to lead the 1/3 against the Father, that he was in charge of them in the first place.

The arc angels are the seraphim, the highest level in the angelic realm. Second is the cherubim, which were the ones who guarded Eden after Adam and Eve were evicted, and it was also the cherubim that Ezekiel described. The cherubim have absolutely nothing in common with the paintings of the cute little chubby baby angels, they are powerful and quite frightening according to Ezekiel, not to mention that being the guardians of Eden, they have to be pretty intimidating.

The Book of Enoch is full of angelic information, with names, descriptions, etc.. It's a very interesting read.

Only one that is spoken of in the Bible. Michael. Though Gabriel seems to be important as a chief angel. Lucifer is fallen and drew 1/3rd of the angels which tells us there were three. Gabriel, Michael and the fallen Lucifer.

And Schneb is totally correct. Jesus and Michael are not the same entity. If any JW's have questions about it, I have an email collection on the debate I will gladly forward if you request it. The belief that Michael is Jesus is called Arianism.

The prefix "arch," meaning "chief" or "principal," implies that there is only one archangel, the chief angel; in the Scriptures, "archangel" is never found in the plural.

First Thessalonians 4:16, in speaking of the preeminence of the archangel and the authority of his office, does so in reference to the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ: "The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice and with God's trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first." It is, therefore, not without significance that the only name directly associated with the word "archangel" is Michael.

(Daniel 10:13, 21; 12:1; Jude 9; Revelation 12:7. See also 2 Thess 1:7;1 Peter 3:22)

Archangels are the highest ranked angels ever created by God. The only one mentioned by name is Michael. Some here are mentioning Gabriel, but I see no scriptural reference that Gabriel is an archangel. The only reference is to Michael in Jude 1:9. I'm not saying he is not, but there is no reference.

And BTW, to the JWs-- it ain't Jesus.

In the Bible, there are two angels that are listed by name, Michael and Gabriel. It also speaks of archangels in Revelation and 1 Thessalonians 4. But no where does it state that either Michael or Gabriel are archangles. (Also does not say they are not.)

Raphael, Michael, and Gabriel.

And they are Archangels.

there are seven archangels, but only the three above are mentioned in Scripture. Raphael is mentioned in the OT, Book of Tobit, while the other two are mentioned in the Book of the Prophet Daniel.

Gabriel is also mentioned in the Gospel of Luke, and Michael is mentioned in the Epistle of Jude, and in the Book of Revelation.
