In the Christian Book of Extremes, there are five angels mentioned, namely Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Ulyss, and Jeremiah. According to records, when the Assyrian army attacked Jerusalem, Michael annihilated an army of nearly 160,000 Assyrians overnight; Duel with Satan, and eventually capture and imprison him; In Egypt, Moses, the messenger of God Jehovah, was summoned to lead this Christian out of Egypt and other major events. Therefore, Michael's divine power can be matched by the great demon satan, and he is also the most powerful assistant of God Jehovah.
In Jewish legend, God Jehovah once molded the archangel Michael with fire and Gabriel with water. It is recorded in the Dead Sea Scrolls that this is an early Jewish scripture, when the "Children of Light" and "Children of Darkness" were at war, and Michael, as The Vice-Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of Light, led the Legion of Angels to a decisive battle with the Dark Legion of The Dark Lord, Belier. There were a total of six battles before and after, and the victory and defeat were half of the battle. In the end, YHWH personally played before hitting Bai lier.
In the Bible, Michael was also one of the first archangels to fight Satan, so his image basically appeared as a warrior. But in Greek, Michael's name also means "beginning" and "rebirth", so he also has a soul guide, similar to the characters of Hermes or Apollo in Greek mythology.
The archangel Michael's instrument is the red cross, so it is confused with St. George in the later period. When the British flag was designed, it was modeled after Michael's red cross.
Michael and Gabriel
In the Old Testament of the Bible, there are only two angels mentioned by name, michael and Gabriel. The two angels have certain similarities, the two gods are responsible for guarding the safety of the Divine Realm and the Garden of Eden, quite the guardianship of the Divine Realm, and also the spirit body with the position of archangel. Michael and Gabriel are more dazzling and famous than Gabriel.
There are also five angels mentioned in the Bible and the Sub-Scriptures, two of which Michael and Gabriel are mentioned. The other three were Raphael, Ullier and Jeremiah. These five angels are the five most famous angels in Christianity.
In Christian doctrine, Michael is usually portrayed as a handsome, heroic angel, whose abilities are said to be the only angel among the angels to rival Satan the Devil. His iconic artifact is the Red Cross, which has an absolutely negative attitude toward sin and actively annihilates it, the embodiment of holiness and justice. This is different from the angel Shaliye, who oscillates between light and darkness.
The difference between Michael and Gabriel is that Gabriel is said in the Bible to be an angel who stands on the left side of God, so Gabriel sometimes appears in the world's sight as a woman. Like Michael, he was the guardian of the Divine Realm and the Garden of Eden, and the embodiment of light and justice. In addition to his position as guardian, Michael was the angel of war, while Gabriel was the messenger angel, responsible for transmitting information between the gods and the mortal world.
Michael and Gabriel, as angels of light in the absolute sense, also held another position together, that is, the "four archangels." But all angels who are archangels generally possess divine powers comparable to those of God, who sing praises to God, go to the soup for God, and are God's most powerful assistant in defeating the devil.
Raphael and Michael
In the Western world there is a legend about angels. Raphael and Michael were both angels created by God, and in the Western world, it is believed that God first created the world, then the angels, and finally the people. Raphael and Michael represented goddesses and goddesses.
Michael is God's proudest work. First of all, his appearance was the most beautiful of the angels, he had red hair and eyes as bright as a jewel, and he was also the embodiment of a brave warrior. In the eyes of Westerners, his avatar was an angel of justice with huge turquoise wings, armor, and a dragon with a sword and feet. Michael's incarnation was male, so Westerners gave him the title of brave angel. Raphael, on the other hand, also mentions him as a man in the Bible. He is the guardian angel of the wanderers and travelers, and the way out for the dead. His incarnation was loving and merciful, with a heart as soft as God, and once atonement for sinners with his own tears, Raphael represented light and love. Raphael and Michael were the four archangels, and their status was once on a par, and then one of the angels became the archangel. Although the story of Raphael and Michael is only a myth today, they may have existed at the beginning of the heavens and the earth, and the myth of Raphael and Michael as we call it today also reminds us to always be good.
At the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, there may not have been human existence at that time. And the angels became the embodiment of love in our hearts, they were righteous and brave, they loved the world and all things, and when we think of Raphael and Michael, we feel that the light and hope are always there.
