Giclée Print - St. Michael Archangel by A. Olivas

Both the Old and the New Testament refer to the legions of angels, which do God’s bidding. One of the best known and loved of the angels is Michael. He is described in Revelation 12:7-9 as leading his soldier angels in battle against the dragon, which represents evil. In Christian tradition he is the general of the heavenly host and defender of the church militant. He is the angel of Divine wrath and judgement and clears the way for the return of Christ at the end of the world.
