Archangel Michael: who is he?
"At that time Michael will arise, the great leader, the defender of the children of your people" - Daniel 12:1 Among the angels mentioned by name in the Bible, Michael is the one who has absolute primacy. The other is Gabriel - Daniel 8:15; 10:13, 21; 12:1; Luke 1:19, 26; Revelation 12:7 No other angels are mentioned by name in the inspired Scriptures.
