Angel - Both the Hebrew malakh′ and the Greek aggelos literally mean "messenger."

The angels were created long before man's appearance, because we read at the 'founding of the earth' "the morning stars joyfully cried out together, and all the sons of God began shouting in applause." Job 38:4-7.

Archangel- The prefix "arch," meaning "chief" or "principal," implies that there is only one archangel, the chief angel; in the Scriptures, "archangel" is never plural.
