Michael the Archangel - Who is like unto God? - The Highest Messenger

Michael the Archangel.

           In scripture, he is ever witnessed battling, in word and deed, the foes of the great Almighty God JEHOVAH (aka, “the LORD”) the Father. He is always at the forefront of the fiercest conflict, directly and fearlessly confronting the chief opponent of all holiness, goodness, righteousness, truth and love ~ the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, and satan.

           Who is this awesome and glorious personage that is written to have appeared and come down to this Earth on several occasions in scripture, such as in the books of the Old Testament prophet Daniel, the New Testament book of Jude & the Revelation of Jesus Christ as written by the Apostle John; and does it matter, as belonging to the practical saving knowledge and experience of the Everlasting Gospel (Rev. 14:6-13 KJB), or is it rather something insignificant and/or irrelevant; just a piece of passing history and knowledge to be filed away?

           What does the name “Michael”, or even the word “Archangel”, mean?

           What is Michael’s part in the great Plan of Redemption, if any; or why is this being even mentioned at all in the scripture, and what does he have to do with the people of God, and how is he different than other named beings, such as one called “Gabriel”, or another called “Lucifer / Heylel”?

           What happens when Michael “stand/s up” (Dan. 12:1 KJB), and what does it mean to the people of God, and to the people of the world at large at such a time?

           This present written material is designed to consider these things from the primary source of information, namely, the holy scriptures (KJB; King James Bible, English, being translated from the HOT (Hebrew Old Testament) and the GNT TR (Greek New Testament Textus Receptus)) and not from any other source, though other materials will give additional confirmation afterwards. The reason for this is found in the texts of Isa. 8:20; 1 Pet. 4:11 KJB.

           This labour of love (unto God & mankind) is also designed to appeal to the widest audience as possible, so that all may, “... sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” (1 Pet. 3:15 KJB), placing a long-forgotten gem of glorious truth back into its place of honour.
