Raphael, Gabriel or Michael (9)

I believe the answer is:

archangel

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'raphael' is the first definition.
(Raphael is an example)

'gabriel or michael' is the second definition.
(I know that Gabriel is a archangel)

(Other definitions for archangel that I've seen before include "Russian port on the White Sea" , "Divine messenger - Russian port" , "one coming from above with message maybe" , "Highest ranking member of the celestial hierarchy" , "The head celestial messenger" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
