What are Archangels?

Hello and What a Blessing Today is!  My Spirit is soaring and I am so excited to share with you!   * Last post, I spoke of guardian Angels and today I'd like to introduce you to the Archangels. *  The existence of archangels and their appearances in history occur in the sacred writings of all three of the great monotheistic world religions — Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This is a very striking incidence of common ground.  * Archangels are managers who oversee our guardian angels. Guardian angels and archangels are the most involved of all the angels, with helpingEarth and her inhabitants.  *  Compared to guardian angels, archangels are very large, loud and powerful, yet they're also extremely loving and without ego.   The archangels are nonphysical beings, and they can help anyone who calls on them, no matter your denomination.  They will respond to your requests, but due to free wll you have to can invoke their help.  This can be done with the spoken word, just a few thoughts, or by writing to them.  And it is fine to ask them to be permanently with you by your side through your life.  Being non-physical the have the abilities to be in more than one place,and they are happy to be by your sidet help!  * The Bible names Archangels Michael and Gabriel and some versions list Raphael and Uriel.  Ancient Jewish texts expand this list to 15 archangels.  I've listed the 15 here as an introduction.  You'll notice that all but two of their names end in the suffix "el".  This is Hebrew for "of God" or "from god."  These archangels are sometimes called by different names, but here are their most common ones, along with  their characteristics.
