The term archangel appears only in the singular, never plural, and only in specific reference to Michael. According to accurate angels of Isidore of Seville, the Virtues are known for their control of the elements. In addition to being the spirits of motion, they also assist in governing nature.

Biblically Accurate Angels
So one rainy Sunday afternoon, I made this list of all the angels and demons the Bible mentions. I probably don’t have to tell you that it would have taken me a lot longer to do without Logos Bible Software. In the Bible, God created a powerful, wise, and beautiful angelic being.
