not only Isreal - but he protects me too.

As the Chief Commander of the Heavenly hosts, he usually holds a sword in one hand. In the other he often carries carries a either a shield, date-tree branch, a spear, or a white banner (possibly with a scarlet cross).

He is most likely to be wearing red.

In many instances, he tramples the devil under his feet, which may be depicted as a dragon.

This comes from the tradition that he was the main opponent of Satan in the battle for Heaven. Satan was always looking to discredit Israel, while he was its main protector.

In the end, Satan attempted to drag him down in his fall from the heights, but he was rescued by God.

I know him well.
You too will know more of him soon...
