“His Honor is above all angels” Saint Yared

Over all the Ranks, the Lord appointed the Holy Archangel Michael (his name in Hebrew means “who is like to God”), the faithful servitor of God, as Chief Commander. He cast down from Heaven the arrogantly proud Satan and the other fallen spirits when they rebelled against God. Saint Michael is one of the seven Archangels, who is always standing besides God’s throne and is honored for leading the army of Holy Angels and defeated Satan and the rebellious angels into Hell. Revelation 12:7 On this day God crowned him with his glory and mercy and become the Arch of the Archangel’s.
