Who are the four archangels in judaism?
Only Michael is specifically referred to in the Bible as an 'archangel'....Jude 1 v9, 1 Thessalonians 4 v16. (Other traditions and the apocryphal books regard others as archangels, namely Gabriel, Uriel and Raphael with many more in Greek Orthodoxy). In the Bible, Gabriel, the angel who announced the birth of Christ in the Bible, is labelled simply as an 'angel' rather than an 'archangel'.
Some believe that by reading scriptures we learn that Michael is actually Jesus, Michael is Jesus' heavenly name, that Jehovah (Psalm 83:18) gave him. However, this is speculation and not borne out in scripture at all.
Does God assign you to a guardian angel?
Ido believe in guardian angels, I've seen my moms, and my brother has seen his, he said that he looked like an ordinary young boy. He often played with him when he was very little. He said that he could see him plain as day. Once, a pastor came to our house and looked out all of the windows, he gasped and said "You have angels all around your house..." I know it may not help telling you this, but I just want you to know that they are real...to me.

Are Seraphim serpent-angels or angels in the form of serpents?
A:
Reference is made in the Book of Isaiah, chapter 6, to seraphim (sing: seraph or Hebrew, śārāf), who were part of God's retinue and it seems they were six-winged creatures of fire, but Isaiah did not identify the seraphim with angels.
Keel and Uehlinger (Gods, Goddesses and Images of God in Ancient Israel) note that mythological four- and six-winged cobras are found in Egyptian mythology and even in Israel, and that the Hebrew name for cobras and the mythological variety is śārāf ('the one that burns'). They say that the seraphim found in Isaiah can only be viewed as the same mythological serpent creatures. Seraphim should not be thought of as angels in a specific Jewish or Christian sense, but as part of an ancient Near Eastern culture that Israel shared with Egypt and other neighbouring nations.
On the other hand, Christian tradition has seen seraphim become a class of angels, along with Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels, and (lowest of all) simple 'angels'.
(1) Daniel 10:13 sqq., Gabriel says to Daniel, when he asks God to permit the Jews to return to Jerusalem: "The Angel [D.V. prince] of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me . . . and, behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me . . . and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince."
(2) Daniel 12, the Angel speaking of the end of the world and the Antichrist says: "At that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people."
(3) In the Catholic Epistle of St. Jude: "When Michael the Archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses", etc. St. Jude alludes to an ancient Jewish tradition of a dispute between Michael and Satan over the body of Moses, an account of which is also found in the apocryphal book on the assumption of Moses (Origen, De Principiis III.2.2). St. Michael concealed the tomb of Moses; Satan, however, by disclosing it, tried to seduce the Jewish people to the sin of hero-worship. St. Michael also guards the body of Eve, according to the "Revelation of Moses" ("Apocryphal Gospels", etc., ed. A. Walker, Edinburgh, p. 647).
(4) Apocalypse 12:7, "And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon." St. John speaks of the great conflict at the end of time, which reflects also the battle in heaven at the beginning of time. According to the Fathers there is often question of St. Michael in Scripture where his name is not mentioned. They say he was the cherub who stood at the gate of paradise, "to keep the way of the tree of life" (Genesis 3:24), the angel through whom God published the Decalogue to his chosen people, the angel who stood in the way against Balaam (Numbers 22:22 sqq.), the angel who routed the army of Sennacherib (2 Kings 19:35).
Who was the angel who guarded the Garden from Adam and Eve?
Genesis 3:24: So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
There was no angel. As you can see above, Genesis says that God placed cherubim (sing: cherub) and a flaming sword on the path, so that Adam and Eve could not return.
Cherubim, found throughout much of the ancient Near East, were sphinx-like creatures with human heads, the bodies of lions, and wings. They were not angels, and no name is given in Genesis..
Why did God create Saint Michael the Archangel?
St. Michael the Archangel never had a human life. He has always been an angel, a pure spirit.
Where was St. Michael the Archangel from?
Since when does Heaven have countries? You must remember Archangels are not human and have never been human, so they have never become human such as being reincarnated. The Archangels are made up of energy which was created by God (but then so was everything else).
Although there are many depictions of "the Devil" , "Satan", "Beelzebub", etc, etc.- no living person has ever seen him and/or lived to tell the tale.
Gabriel is one of three angels mentioned in the Bible by name with the other two being Michael and then Lucifer who became Satan. Many have interpreted this to mean these three ministerial spirit-beings are on the same 'level' and since Michael is the only one called an archangel by name (see Jude 1:9) it is presumed Gabriel is as well - albeit with a different job.
Of the 3 times Gabriel is mentioned, they all have something to do with the future. In Daniel 8 & 9, Gabriel explains end-time prophecies to Daniel. In Luke 1:19, he tells Zacharias of the soon to happen birth of his son John the Baptist. And the most well known time is in Luke 1:26 thru 32 of Gabriel's visiting the Virgin Mary telling her she would be the mother of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
From the above, it appears Gabriel is God's messenger bringing forth great announcements in the timeline of the reign of man.
Archangel: An angel of the highest rank: in Christian legend, one of the seven, in the Koran one of the four chief angels: in Roman Catholic theology a member of the eighth of nine divisions of angels.

Arch means 'leading' or 'first', as in archbishop or arch enemy.
Which archangel battled Lucifer in heaven?
At times, angels are seen as filling the important role of messengers of God and sometimes even as his allies against evil, such as when the archangel Michael is said to have defeated Satan, or Lucifer, in battle.
Our understanding of God has varied over the centuries and according to context, so at other times God is absolutely omniscient and omnipotent and therefore has no possible need of heavenly allies. For example, how could there be a war in heaven if God could wipe out his opponents in an instant? Angels first appear in Jewish scripture written during and after the Babylonian Exile, but a similar concept already existed in the Zoroastrian religion of the Persians.

There is nothing in Scripture which provides an answer to this question, so any answer is speculative.
