who kicked satan out of Heaven, the Archangel Michael or God.?

Answer 1

Hello!

This is a good question and am glad you asked it.

The Bible says,

"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 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." (Revelation 12:7-9).

According to this Bible verse, it seems that it was Michael who cast the devil out of Heaven (of course, we're not setting aside what Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 say about this theme). At least we know He fought against the devil and defeated him.

The question is, who is Michael?

Many things have been said about this Archangel. One of the most mysterious Characters in the Bible, for sure.

The word "angel" is the greek word for "messenger". The word "arch" means "chief". So Michael is the Chief of the angels (it's very possible it was Him who appeared to Joshua). The Name of this Archangel gives us another clue too: the Name "Michael" means "Who is like God"; it might be a question too: "Who is like God?". By studying what is said about Him in the Scriptures, we conclude that Michael is actually Jesus Christ. Let's go to the Biblical evidences:

(The following was quoted from this webpage:http://www.adventistbiblicalresearch.org/Biblequestions/jesusothername.htm)


What biblical evidence supports the teaching that Michael is another name for Jesus?

The name Michael is used five times in the Bible to designate a celestial being (Dan. 10:13, 21; 12:1; Jude 9; Rev. 12:7). He is nowhere explicitly identified with Jesus, but some Christian writers have equated the two by carefully comparing the role played by Michael with that of Jesus. Any comparisons yield not only similarities but also dissimilarities, and both should be taken into account. We'll start with the passages in which Michael is mentioned and then broaden the horizon to include several passages that are conceptually related to His person and experience.
1. He seems to be an angel: Michael is identified as "one of the chief princes" (Dan. 10:13), "your prince" (verse 21), "the great prince" (Dan. 12:1), and "the archangel" (Jude 9). "Archangel" implies that He is the prince of the angels, suggesting that Michael cannot be another name for Jesus because He is divine and angels are created beings.
Part of the problem is that the noun "angel" is taken to designate a creature, while in the Bible it designates a function. In other words, an "angel" is a being who functions as a "messenger" of God. In most cases they are created beings, but there is an exception.
In the Old Testament there are several references to the "angel [messenger] of the Lord" in which He is equated with God (e.g., Ex. 3:2, 4; Judges 6:12, 14). It is not that the Messenger is identified with the One who sent Him as His representative, but rather that the Sender functions at the same time as the Messenger. Many Christians have identified the Angel of the Lord as the preincarnate Christ. This Christological interpretation seems to be biblically valid.
2. He is leader of the angels: The phrase "one of the chief princes" (Dan. 10:13) could give the impression that He is one among many princes. But according to Revelation 12:7, Michael is the supreme leader of the heavenly angels, or "the great prince." When necessary, He personally assists angels in their assigned tasks (Dan. 10:13), yet the angelic hosts are under His command (Rev. 12:7). He is indeed the "archangel" (Jude 9). This title is mentioned in one other place in the Bible: 1 Thesselonians 4:16, in the context of the second coming of Christ. He returns "with the voice of the archangel," suggesting that Michael is most probably another name for Jesus.
3. He protects God's people: Michael is described as the Prince of Israel (Dan. 10:21), the One who protects Israel (Dan. 12:1). This protection is described in military terms and portrays the Prince as a warrior. In practically all the passages in which He is mentioned there is a conflict between God's people and their enemies, and Michael is present to defend them or fight for them. The protection can also take the form of judgment in which Michael stands up and defends and delivers God's people (ibid.). Those are functions of Christ in the New Testament and confirm the suggestion that Michael and Christ are the same person, involved in leadership in the heavenly and earthly realms.
4. He is Prince of the heavenly hosts: In Daniel 8:10 there is a reference to a celestial being who performs the daily services in the heavenly sanctuary. There is only one other passage in the Old Testament in which this being is mentioned. Joshua had an encounter with a being who identified himself as the "captain [commander] of the host [army] of the Lord" (Joshua 5:14). He ordered Joshua to remove his shoes because the ground he was standing on was holy, similar to God's apparition to Moses. The context makes clear that this being was the Lord Himself (Joshua 6:2). This Prince is the same person called in other passages Prince Michael, and therefore we can identify Him with the preincarnate Christ.
So even though the Bible does not clearly identify Michael with Christ, there is enough biblical information to warrant the view that They are the same person. The name Michael stresses the fact that Christ is the supreme leader of the heavenly angels and the defender of His people as warrior, judge, and priest.

Answer 2

Revelation 12:7-12 says that Michael and his angels would war against Satan and hurl him and his wicked angels out of heaven in connection with the conferring of kningly authority on Christ
At 1 Thessalonians 4:16, the command of Jesus Christ for the resurrection to begin is described as "the archangel's call," and Jude 9 says that the archangel is Michael.

Answer 3

Once and for all. Michael and Christ are the same person.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Thessalonians 4:16

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live John 5:25

Compare these two verses. Jesus is the resurrection and the life. It is Christ, the Archangel Michael that raises the dead. Arch means over the angels. Christ is Captain of the Lord's host.

The Archangel Michael with the power allocated him from God.

Answer 6

God did it! Satan was and is so powerful that not even the Angel of War wil battle Him one on one. But it is funny how us Christians always make challenges to Satan. If they Angel of Warfare would not make an abusive accusation against Satan... how can we?

Jude 1:9 (Amplified Bible)
9 But when [even] the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, judicially argued (disputed) about the body of Moses, he dared not [presume to] bring an abusive condemnation against him, but [simply] said, The Lord rebuke you!

Answer 7

In the Epistle of Jude of the New Testament in verse 9, Michael disputes with Satan over the body of Moses. In Revelation 12:7-8, "And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven." John describes Satan being thrown out of heaven three and a half years from the end of the age, "a time, times and half a time" Revelation 12:14. Satan being thrown from heaven coinsides with the "abomination that causes desolation" as spoken of by the prophet (Daniel 9:27).

Answer 8

God did. Satan was saying he's plan about him to transform into a human and save us all was a really bad idea, he also told him that he was better than him, God got angry and kicked him out off heaven to the farest point from it, no, its not the center of the Earth by the way.

Answer 9

Any mature man can kick him out of both heaven and hell.
In a heavenly mature mind, satan does not exist.

Answer 10

Only one person has used a scripture in their answer, and it says Michael and the angels. Obviously, God gave them the power to do this.
