Archangel Michael is the main archangel, the main guardian of the heavenly kingdom and the main guardian of God's law. In addition, according to beliefs, the archangel Michael guards the body of Moses and takes the souls of the dead to hell or heaven. The very name Michael literally means "Who is like the Lord?" Archangel Michael is one of the four archangels in the Old Testament (along with Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel) and one of the seven archangels in the Bible. Archangel Michael is also the leader of the angels and the patron of soldiers. His image is usually found at the entrance of temples, depicted with a sword and scripture, calling us to enter the church with a pure heart and pure thoughts. In Kabbalah, it is believed that on the Tree of Life - Sephir, aspect Hod - glory, greatness, stands the archangel Michael. Before the Messiah comes, Michael will lead the armies of Heaven against the Antichrist and defeat them. Beautiful icon.
