Gods word refers to Michael "the archangel"(Jude 9)Notice Michael iscalled THE archangel.The term "archangel" occurs in the Bible only in the singular,never in the plural.Moreover,Jesus is linked with the office archangel.(The term mean "chief angel")Regarding the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ,1Thessalonians 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.
Jesus was the first born of all creation.He was a spirit creature and is again a spirit creature reigning in Heaven as king of God's heavenly kingdom.
However,before Jesus could take up his kingship the heavens had to be cleansed of Satan and his demons.That is why at Rev.12:7-9 we read the account of war breaking out in heaven and Satan and his demons were thrown out of heaven to the vicinity of the earth.Satan lost that war - not won it.
And Jesus is not God the Son,but the scriptures teach us that he is the Son of God,whose name is Jehovah.

Michael is an Archangel, our Creators principal Warrior Spirit, at least as far as our area of Creation is concerned.
The spirit that lived as Jesus, was the Morning Star. Job talks
about when the Morning Stars sang together. They are the first and highest order of life after God.
Jesus said that even in His day, there was violence in heaven, and the violent take it by FORCE. God doesn't change, but we do. And there is fast apporaching a time where we will need to
be Spiritual Warriors for CHRIST.

Gasp, only the Jehovah's Witness believe that Jesus and Michael the Archangel were one and the same. No other main-line Christian or even minor Christian denomination has this belief, which should tell you something. Of course, JWs are so arrogant that they believe that all other governments, religions, and organization are of the devil. In other words, they believe that everyone else is wrong.
Final note: ONLY the Jehovah's Witnesses' caricature of a Bible reads in their version of the Gospel of John: "...and the Word was a god..." Gasp!
Every other Christian Bible from the original Catholic Latin Vulgate to the Protestant King James Version tells us that "...the Word was God..." Whom should we believe? The Jehovah's Witnesses who since their founding in 1872 have more than thirty times falsely predicted the end of the world? Or should we believe serious, scholarly Catholic, Protestant and other Christian learned people who know that Jesus and Michael are NOT one and the same?
Speaking of end times predictions, as recently as a couple of weeks ago some JW signed 'Tina' asked in this format about a "Lamplight prophecy to be fulfilled 'forty days from two weeks ago..." It still hasn't come true. Go figure!

What book haven't you been reading? Micheal is an Angel and Jesus is the son of God. If your going to ask questions at least read something about the topic first.

Michael is an angel and Jesus is the son of God. Satan will never win against God's warriors and he will never be our savior. SAtan as the dragon would be thrown on earth and he will be locked in sheol (not sure of spelling) and there will be peace for a thousand years

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Go to the Book of Danial, Danial was praying , he wanted God to send an Angel to interpret his dream, But there was war in Heaven between the prince of persia, and the Angel that God was sending to answer Danials prayer, so the Angel was waiting on another Angel to get there so he could wrestle with the prince of persia, so he could go and tell Danial what his dream meant. This is the same thing, revelations is talking about I believe. see if it don`t refer you to Danial. Danial was having dreams of things that were going to happen in the End times too, just like John in revelations...I hope this has helped you in some way.

Michael isn't Jesus, never was regarded as Jesus, so your entire question is bull.

Jesus and Michael are two different beings.
Your ignorance of God's Word reveals your mistakes.

Revelation was written by a crazy man. Do not take anything in it literally. Or the whole Bible, for that matter.
