Who Is Michael The Archangel And Why He Is Jesus Christ In His Heavenly Role. by Swissh: 11:46am On Jan 15, 2020
THE spirit creature called Michael is not mentioned often in the Bible. However, when he is referred to, he is in action. In the book of Daniel, Michael is battling wicked angels; in the letter of Jude, he is disputing with Satan; and in Revelation, he is waging war with the Devil and his demons. By defending Jehovah’s rulership and fighting God’s enemies, Michael lives up to the meaning of his name​—“Who Is Like God?” But who is Michael?

At times, individuals are known by more than one name. For example, the patriarch Jacob is also known as Israel, and the apostle Peter, as Simon. ( Genesis 49:1, 2; Matthew 10:2 ) Likewise, the Bible indicates that Michael is another name for Jesus Christ, before and after his life on earth. Let us consider Scriptural reasons for drawing that conclusion.


Archangel. God’s Word refers to Michael “the archangel.” ( Jude 9 ) This term means “chief angel.” Notice that Michael is called the archangel. This suggests that there is only one such angel. In fact, the term “archangel” occurs in the Bible only in the singular, never in the plural. Moreover, Jesus is linked with the office of archangel. Regarding the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thessalonians 4:16 states: “The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice.” Thus the voice of Jesus is described as being that of an archangel. This scripture therefore suggests that Jesus himself is the archangel Michael.
Army Leader. The Bible states that “Michael and his
angels battled with the dragon . . . and its angels.” ( Revelation 12:7 ) Thus, Michael is the Leader of an army of faithful angels. Revelation also describes Jesus as the Leader of an army of faithful angels. ( Revelation 19:14-16 ) And the apostle Paul specifically mentions “the Lord Jesus” and “his powerful angels.” ( 2 Thessalonians 1:7 ) So the Bible speaks of both Michael and “his angels” and Jesus and “his angels.” ( Matthew 13:41; 16:27; 24:31; 1 Peter 3:22 ) Since God’s Word nowhere indicates that there are two armies of faithful angels in heaven​—one headed by Michael and one headed by Jesus—​it is logical to conclude that Michael is none other than Jesus Christ in his heavenly role. *

This is highly ambiguous .....lets not go there.... isn’t the name of Jesus enough for us.... why the addition of complexity by calling him micheal which the Bible isn’t clear on...??
What will equating Jesus and micheal mean? Will it make him more merciful, more powerful... I don’t get...

This is where the strange/false doctrine that Jesus was formerly an angel came from.... some strange,ambiguous doctrine has been raised suggesting that Jesus was an angel before he volunteered for the Calvary punishment/ reconciliation of man to God which now made him greater because he inherited his sonship status a name above all other angels becos of his sacrifice ambiguously...again ambiguously/ falsely backed up with Hebrews chapter 1v4-5..

ANGEL MICHEAL IS NOT JESUS CHRIST.

1 John 5:7 " there are three that bear witness in Heaven. The Father, The Word, The Holy ghost. These three are one.


Colossians 2:18 "Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind"

Stop quoting 1John5:7, that KJV FRAUD is NOT part of the holy Scriptures.
Malachi 3:1 ,Jesus is the foretold angel of the covenant.
Jesus Christ with an archangel's voice leads other sons of God in battle.
2 Thess1:7-9. 1Thess4:16. Mark8:38.

Jesus Christ is the Chief (Archangel) of angels.
