What the Book of Daniel says about angels Gabriel and Michael The Book of Daniel is one of the richest sources in the Hebrew Bible for angelic figures: it names the angel Gabriel and, separately, the chief of the heavenly host, Michael. Both appear as active characters, not just messengers in the abstract—Gabriel interprets Daniel’s visions, and Michael fights. Daniel, the book’s namesake, is presented as Read More… What the Book of Daniel says about ange...... 🔗 https://aleteia.org/2026/09/29/what-the-book-of-daniel-says-about-angels-gabriel-and-michael/ #Catholic #Aleteia #Bible
