Who are the only three angels specifically named in Scripture?
Only three angels are named in the Bible. Michael is the archangel, the great defender of Israel. Gabriel is the special messenger sent to God's servants. And Lucifer, "the shining one," is the one we now know as Satan. Every other angel in Scripture appears without a name, but these three are set before us by name so that we may know our chief allies and our chief enemy.
