Michael

Saint Michael (Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל‎ -   Mîkhā'ēl,  lit.  ' Who is like God? '; Greek: Μιχαήλ,  translit.  Mikhaḗl) is an angel of the LORD venerated in Laurencian Christianity as one of the Seven Holy Angels Who Watch. Michael is also the leader of God's armies, as well as the guardian angel of the Hebrew people and the nation of Israel. He is called the Archangel, meaning "Head Angel". He is believed to only be outranked by Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Michael is described as contending, fighting, or standing against evil spirits and fallen angels, much like the Son. The prophet Daniel records in his book that he was told that Michael is a great prince who protects the Hebrew people. (Daniel 12:1)
