How many angels are listed by name in the Bible?
I thought just three, Gabriel, Michael, and Lucifer.
Some people tell me there are more.
Are there?
Or is that just a catholic thing?
Addressing the OP, first just because only 3 or more that are mention by name in the scriptures, name are not numbers, there are many.
Rev 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice
of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was
ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; and that's just around the throne.
and this is excluding those who was chained under darkness.
2Pet 2:4 For if God spared not
the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment. (also see Jude 1:6).
likewise as with good angels, there, in God's economy are evil angels, and God have a host of them both.
when the Lord Jesus was speaking about children, the little ones, he said this,
Matt 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones;
for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
two thing, 1. their angels 2. and angels here are in the plural, meaning nore than one.
so each little one, child, have an angel assign to them, if not then the Lord Jesus lie, God forbid.
so there are a lot of children in the world.
