Archangel:

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Archangel:

ark-an'-jel.

See ANGEL

King James Dictionary

Archangel: Chief Angel.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the ARCHANGEL, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. (1 Thessalonians 4:16)

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g743 Greek: archangelos

Archangel:

"is not found in the OT, and in the NT only in 1Th 4:16 and Jud 1:9, where it is used of Michael, who in Daniel is called 'one of the chief princes,' and 'the great prince' (Sept., 'the great angel'), 10:13, 21; 12:1. Cp. also Rev 12:7.... Whether there are other beings of this exalted rank in the heavenly hosts, Scripture does not say, though the description 'one of the chief princes' suggests that this may be the case; cp. also Rom 8:38; Eph 1:21; Col 1:16, where the word translated 'principalities' is arche, the prefix in archangel." *
[* From Notes on Thessalonians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 142.] In 1Th 4:16 the meaning seems to be that the voice of the Lord Jesus will be of the character of an "archangelic" shout.
