Saint Michael Doubledside NAVY Religious Medal - 2/3 inch Size of a Dime - Solid 14K Yellow Gold

Orthodox Christians refer to him as the Taxiarch ("Commander") Archangel Michael or simply Archangel Michael.. Roman Catholics refer to him as Saint Michael the Archangel and also simply as Saint Michael ("Saint" is a title meaning "holy", and is not meant to indicate that Michael is a human soul in heaven). Police officers and soldiers, particularly paratroopers, regard him as their patron saint. St Michael is also considered in many Christian circles as the patron saint of the warrior. The name title "Archangel" translated into the English language means: highest messenger. The Talmudic tradition rendered his name as meaning "who is like El ("God"but literally "Els Likeness")" (compare the late prophet Micah), but according to Rabbi Simeon ben Lakish (AD 230270), all the specific names for the angels were brought back by the Jews from Babylon, and many modern commentators would agree. There Michael appears as "one of the chief princes" (Daniel 10:13) Michael who in Daniels vision comes to the Lords aid in his contest with the leader of Persia, and is also described there as the advocate of Israel and "great prince (or leader) who stands up for the children of your (Daniels) people" (Daniel 10:21, 12:1). He is generally presented as the field commander of the Army of God. In the Old Testament Michael is mentioned by name in the Persian context of the Book of Daniel.
