Angelology is the theological study of angels — spiritual beings believed to act as messengers, servants, or agents of the divine. The field explores the nature, hierarchy, and roles of angels across various religious traditions, most prominently within Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. In Christian theology, angelology examines classifications such as seraphim, cherubim, and archangels like Michael and Gabriel, as well as their influence on human affairs and the cosmic order. Jewish angelology, rooted in texts like the Talmud and Kabbalah, presents angels as intermediaries between God and humanity, while Islamic teachings view them as pure creations of light who carry out God’s commands without free will. The study also considers fallen angels, including the theological implications of rebellion and evil. Overall, angelology seeks to understand how angels fit into divine creation, revelation, and the moral structure of the universe, blending scriptural analysis with philosophical and mystical interpretation.

"He adds next, Behold! Michael, one of the chief leaders or princes, came to strengthen me. Some think the word Michael represents Christ, and I do not object to this opinion.

Review in the International Journal of Ethics 1907
"in Enoch xlvi, etc., the term "Son of Man" had been made descriptive of a heavenly being who might be the archangel Michael, and who was expected to become the Messiah. It is only a step from this to such a use on the part of Jesus as we have supposed, though a step which only a religious genius could take."

On the First Three Gospels by ERNEST DE BUNSEN (in Misc Notes and Queries)
"Luke has not hesitated to refer mysteriously to the Essenic and Paulinic doctrine of Jesus Christ as the Angel-Messiah. There can be no doubt that already Stephen regarded Jesus as the incarnate Wisdom of God to whom had been attributed a premundane personality by the side of God in the Book of Proverbs, though without an indication of a future incarnation of the Divine Wisdom. With this isolated passage stands in direct connection the statement in the Targum that the world and man were created through the Word or Memra, here called ' the thought or Word of God,' and identified by Targumists with the Metatron or ' Angel by God's throne,' who went before and followed Israel in the wilderness. We pointed out that this Angel, the Angel-Messiah, is by Stephen and Paul identified with Christ."
Angelology by G. Clayton 1851
A Reply to Dr Ralph Wilson by Heinz Schmitz:
"Jesus has been given authority by his Father to raise the dead. (Jn.5:25,26).
But the voice of the archangel also raises the dead (1Thes. 4:16; cf Dan.12:2). Michael is called "the great prince" (Dan. 12:1). Christ is called a "princely ruler" and "prince of peace" (Isa.9:6). In Daniel chapter 7, there is a prophecy about the march of world powers to the end of the age. At the climax of that prophecy we read that "someone like a son of man" was "given rulership and dignity and kingdom," and that one is Jesus Christ. (Dan.7:13, 14) In another prophecy Daniel wrote that reached down to "the time of the end" (Dan.10:13;11:40) Michael would stand up: "And during that time Michael will stand up." (Da 12:1) In Daniel's prophecy, 'standing up' frequently refers to the action of a king, either taking up his royal power or acting effectively in his capacity as King. (Dan.11:2-4,7,16,20,21) Michael's "standing" indicates a ruler and supports the conclusion that Michael is Jesus Christ, since Jesus is Jehovah's/Yahweh's appointed King. Both prophecies deal with the same time and the same event...thus the conclusion is obvious. Satan is abyssed by an *angel* for a thousand years. (Rev.20:1, 2, 10) . The demons identified Christ as the one who was to hurl them into the "abyss" (Mt 8:29). The nations are destroyed by Jesus and *his* army of angels. (Rev.12:12; 17:16, 17; 19:11-16) Jesus is also prophesied as the seed that is to crush Satan's head (Gen.3:15), but yet Michael with "his angels" does this in Revelation 12."
