Anyone that studied theology or wathced the prophecy 1-3 knows the the Archangles were the most powerful technically the only ones allowed to do battle.

I saw the movie... This is what I have to say... Everyone knows archangels because they are mentioned more in the bibles... and we all know the bible was translated and a lot of the meanings are wrong. ie. sea of reeds vs. the red sea : which one did Moses cross? etc.

The first and most powerful of the angelic choirs is the Seraphim. The prophet Isaiah described the Seraphim in a prophetic vision:

"I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, with the train of his garment filling the temple. Seraphim were stationed above; each of them had six wings: with two they veiled their faces, with two they veiled their feet, and with two they hovered aloft. ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts!’ they cried one to the other. ‘All his earth is filled with his glory!’ At the sound of the cry, the frame of the door shook and the house was filled with smoke" (Isaiah 6:2).

The rich imagery of Isaiah reveals that the Seraphim are closest to the throne of God. This means that they perceive God in the richest way possible for a created being and thus they have an unmatched intellect, will and love. The Seraphim’s only task is to worship God in perpetual adoration. Seraphim are distinct from the other choirs of angels in that the burn with an intense ardor of charity. It is said that the charity of the Seraphim burns like white heat in a flame. As such, the Seraphim would appear to a man as a terrible lord of power and might; but the fear of the Seraphim would not come from fear of the angel, rather it would come from the comparison between the purity of the angelic being and the sin in our own souls.


This is for the Archangels:

The last order of angels is most familiar to man. This order is comprised of the Principalities, Archangels and Angels. Principalities are the leaders of the last order, and direct the actual implementation of God’s will. Archangels and angels actually carry out and execute what is to be done. This is why angels (such as Gabriel and Raphael) are the choir sent to communicate with man.
