SERIES: ANGELS OF THE BIBLE
CHIEF PRINCE MICHAEL MENTIONED 3 TIMES IN THE BIBLE.
Daniel 10:
Here Daniel gets a disturbing vision and goes into a 21 day fast for answers. Then we see a "a certain man clothed in linen , whose loins were girded with fine Uphaz: his body also was like the Beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightening , and his eyes as lamps of fire , and his arms and feet like in colour to polished brass, and his voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. (V 5-6).
Many people speculate that this glorious man is Jesus. The cross reference in the bible points to Revelations 1:13 which describes Jesus.
So this glorious man says to Daniel, "O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words i speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am i now sent...Fear not, Daniel: For from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the PRINCE OF PERSIA withstood me one and twenty days: BUT LO MICHAEL, ONE OF THE CHIEF PRINCES, CAME TO HELP ME. (vv 11-13).
Then he said, "Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? And now I will return to fight with THE PRINCE OF PERSIA: and when I am gone, lo, the PRINCE OF GREECE SHALL COME. But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, BUT MICHAEL YOUR PRINCE." (vv. 20-21)
So Daniel was a chosen prophet in the kings court ruling over all the ungoldly wisemen, astrologers, sorcerers because he showed to have greater wisdom and knowledge, understanding in dreams and visions. Even showing that his God was greater in the fiery furnace and the lions den. So because he was set over kingdoms his metron was greater and so his warfare; so much so, that a glorious man, possibly Jesus came to answer, who was withstood by the Prince of Persia causing Michael one of the chief princes to fight the Prince of Persia. So Michael fights other Princes in the kingdom of darkness possibly guarding and fighting over Jesus.
DANIEL 12:1 THE TRIBULATION
“At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book.
So here Michael stands up for Gods people found in the Book and delivers them in the tribulation.
REVELATIONS 12:7-9
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
So here Michael is warring from heaven with his angels under him, fighting the dragon and his angels. Winning the war and kicking out the dragon and his angels.
