New York Metropolitan Museum of Art 1475 A.D.

His name means Who is as God. Michael ranks as the greatest of all angels whether in Jewish, Christian, or Islamic writings. He is Chief of the Order of Virtues, Chief of Archangels, Prince of the Presence, the Angel of Repentance, Righteousness, Mercy, and Sanctification: Also, Ruler of the 4th Heaven and Conqueror of Satan. It is Michael who will descend from heaven with the Key to the Abyss and a great chain in his hand to bind the Satanic Dragon for 1000 years (Revelation: 20:1). It is foretold in Daniel that when the world is once again in real trouble, Michael will reappear. Among the Dead Sea Scrolls there is one titled The War of the Sons of Light against the Sons of Darkness. Here, Michael is called the Prince of Light. Here, Michael, holding in his hand the Scales of Justice, is represented as the Angel of the Final Reckoning and the Weigher of Souls. The Museum original of this sculpture was carved by Andrea De La Robia in 1475 A.D

L.A. County Museum of Art, Los Angeles. 1500A.D.

Raphael means God has Healed. Raphael is above all the Angel of Healing as his name denotes, but also is the chief ruling Prince of the 2nd Heaven, Chief of the Order of Virtues, Guardian of the Tree of Life in Eden and by his own admission One of the 7 Holy Angels that attend the throne of God. This he reveals to Tobias in the Book of Tobit. He is declared to be One of the Four Presences set over all the diseases and wounds of the children of men (Enoch 1). and in the Zohar is charged to heal the Earth. Raphael is one of the six Angels of Repentance, Angel of Prayer, Love, Joy and Light. He is said to have the six wings of a Seraphin but at the same time belongs to the Cherubim, the Dominions and the Powers.
