Archangels are best known for their roles as messengers in the Bible. For example, it is the Archangel Gabriel who told Mary of her upcoming birth of Jesus Christ. Archangels are said to be very powerful. They include an impressive list of names, and I will go into more detail in a later section on some famous angels. For now, some of the angels included within the order of the Archangels include Michael , the supreme commander of the armies of Heaven, Gabriel , whose name appears more than once as the leader of more powerful angelic orders, and Raphael , who is said to be the leader of the Cherubim who guard Eden.
Angels are the ninth and last order of angels.
These angels are commonly known as the Guardian Angels, to which one is assigned to every living creature, to guide them and to record their good deeds. They are said to be invisible, like all angels, but can materialize into visible form and make themselves known to people. This kind of puts a crimp on the number of angels that are in Heaven, which you will see in the next section. The number of angels is quite simple to figure out. Once the war began, however, Lucifer drew one-third of the total host of heaven to his side, which amounted to 133,306,668 angels.
