How Many Archangels Are There?

Question:

How many archangels are there?

Answer:

The only archangels mentioned in the Bible are Michael (Rev. 12:7), Gabriel (Luke 1:19), and Raphael (Tob. 12:15). How many there are besides these three is unknown. Scripture refer to the numbers of angels only as “hosts” and “a multitude” and “thousands upon thousands.”
