Archangel Michael: God-Like, One of the First Lords 34.5cm Veronese Bronze Electrolysis Full Body Statue, Christian

The Archangel Michael

Is usually depicted with a sword or scepter in his right hand, a symbol of the power God has given him. In his left hand he often holds a sphere or shield that symbolizes the world. Saint Michael the Archangel or Saint Michael the Taxiarch in Orthodoxy and Archangel Michael is an archangel in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The earliest surviving mentions of his name are in 3rd- and 2nd-century BCE Jewish works, often but not always apocalyptic, where he is the chief of the angels and archangels and responsible for the care of Israel. Christianity adopted nearly all the Jewish traditions concerning him, and he is mentioned explicitly in Revelation 12:7–12, where he does battle with Satan, and in the Epistle of Jude, where the author denounces heretics by contrasting them with Michael.
