Meaning man of God. In Jewish tradition the guardian of the sacred treasury. Michael (see on Jud 1:9) is the destroyer, the champion of God against evil, the minister of wrath. Gabriel is the messenger of peace and restoration. See Dan 8:16, Dan 9:21. “The former is the forerunner of Jehovah the Judge; the latter of Jehovah the Saviour” (Godet).
