The power scale in supernatural is a bit confusing. God created the archangels to aid him in his war against The Darkness. But an archangel could be destoyed by Jesse Turner "with a word" and I guess Dick Roman could eat the devil for breakfast. God created the whole universe, hell, purgatory and heaven, in some way this could be considered as a multiverse. But the archangels with all their weaknesses are as it seems so incredibly far away from this level that I don't understand why God needed them. Considering their minimal destructive power (Michael and Lucifer could barely destroy a planet in a long fight while God created whole galaxies), lets say they combined have 0,001% of God's power. So that additional 0,001% are just enough to overpower The Darkness. I really hope we will find out, that we had once more than 4 archangels and Michael, Lucifer, Gabriel and Raphael are the much weaker surviving brothers of far more powerful (killed by The Darkness) archangels.
