Daniel 12:1 Is Michael an angel (archangel) of God?

Question

Daniel 12:1 (KJV)

“At that time MICHAEL, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered”

Answer 1

correct - Michael is described as the greatest archangel, the sword of God, and the one who did battle with Lucifer during the war of the angels...

Answer 2

Yes, Michael is an archangel.
Daniel 12 is talking about the End of Times. You can also read Revelations 20:1-6

Answer 3

Yes. He appears to be the special Guardian and Protector of God's people Israel.
He is further mentioned in Daniel 10:13,21; Jude 9; and Revelation 12:7.

Answer 4

Yup. St. Michael the Archangel. He's the same guy who casts Satan into Hell in Revelations, and hides the body of Moses as told in the Epistles.

He is one of three Archangels (out of seven) shown in the Bible. St. Gabriel and St. Raphael (from the book of Tobit in the Catholic Old Testament) are the other two.

Answer 5

No, Michael grow to be an angel, a created being. Jesus had no initiating, and has no end. Jesus is God, yet Michael grow to be no longer. additionally, Jesus grow to be the know God, while Michael on no account stated a be conscious different than to rebuke devil interior the conflict for Moses' physique (see the Epistle of Jude). human beings worshiped Jesus, and He standard this. there is not any checklist of absolutely everyone worshiping Michael, and if he grow to be consistent with the angels of the e book of Revelation, he would not settle for worship the two. You ask if Jesus ought to be God Himself? specific. Jesus carried out miracles, like no person else ought to do. He forgave sins, healed the ill, cleansed the lepers, or maybe raised the lifeless--He even got here back from the grave Himself! no person has chanced on Jesus' physique and that they on no account will, the two--he's alive! One very final factor to contemplate: Thomas referred to as Jesus "my Lord and my God" and Jesus standard this. no person yet God could settle for worship!

Answer 6

Here the prophet Daniel is prophesying about a king who will protect his people. This king or "great prince" is no other than Jesus. We can say this by looking at different accounts in Daniel.

Answer 7

--He is the one and only Archangel:

Each time in the Greek Scriptures (nt) that the Archangel is referenced , there Christ Jesus is also referenced, BUT NOT as being distinct from one another.

(1 Thessalonians 4:14-16) “14 For if our faith is that Jesus died and rose again, so, too, those who have fallen asleep [in death] through Jesus God will bring with him. 15 For this is what we tell YOU by Jehovah’s word, that we the living who survive to the presence of the Lord shall in no way precede those who have fallen asleep [in death]; 16 because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first. . .”

--AS SOON AS Michael as the ARCHANGEL finishes with Satan , then as The KING , Christ begins ruling from the heavenly Kingdom:

(Revelation 12:7-10) “7 And war broke out in heaven: Mi´cha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but it did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “NOW HAVE come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God!”

Answer 8

yes ................ The only holy angel other than Gabriel named in the Bible, and the only one called “archangel.”

Answer 9

Yes. There is only one archangel mentioned in the Bible: Michael.

The prefix “arch,” meaning “chief” or “principal,” implies that there is only one archangel, the chief angel; in the Scriptures, “archangel” is never found in the plural. First Thessalonians 4:16, in speaking of the preeminence of the archangel and the authority of his office, does so in reference to the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ: “The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first.” It is, therefore, not without significance that the only name directly associated with the word “archangel” is Michael.—Jude 9.

(Mi′cha·el) [Who Is Like God?].

1. The only holy angel other than Gabriel named in the Bible, and the only one called “archangel.” (Jude 9) The first occurrence of the name is in the tenth chapter of Daniel, where Michael is described as “one of the foremost princes”; he came to the aid of a lesser angel who was opposed by “the prince of the royal realm of Persia.” Michael was called “the prince of [Daniel’s] people,” “the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of [Daniel’s] people.” (Da 10:13, 20, 21; 12:1) This points to Michael as the angel who led the Israelites through the wilderness. (Ex 23:20, 21, 23; 32:34; 33:2) Lending support to this conclusion is the fact that “Michael the archangel had a difference with the Devil and was disputing about Moses’ body.”—Jude 9.

Scriptural evidence indicates that the name Michael applied to God’s Son before he left heaven to become Jesus Christ and also after his return. Michael is the only one said to be “the archangel,” meaning “chief angel,” or “principal angel.” The term occurs in the Bible only in the singular. This seems to imply that there is but one whom God has designated chief, or head, of the angelic host. At 1 Thessalonians 4:16 the voice of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ is described as being that of an archangel, suggesting that he is, in fact, himself the archangel. This text depicts him as descending from heaven with “a commanding call.” It is only logical, therefore, that the voice expressing this commanding call be described by a word that would not diminish or detract from the great authority that Christ Jesus now has as King of kings and Lord of lords. (Mt 28:18; Re 17:14) If the designation “archangel” applied, not to Jesus Christ, but to other angels, then the reference to “an archangel’s voice” would not be appropriate. In that case it would be describing a voice of lesser authority than that of the Son of God.

There are also other correspondencies establishing that Michael is actually the Son of God. Daniel, after making the first reference to Michael (Da 10:13), recorded a prophecy reaching down to “the time of the end” (Da 11:40) and then stated: “And during that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of [Daniel’s] people.” (Da 12:1) Michael’s ‘standing up’ was to be associated with “a time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time.” (Da 12:1) In Daniel’s prophecy, ‘standing up’ frequently refers to the action of a king, either taking up his royal power or acting effectively in his capacity as king. (Da 11:2-4, 7, 16b, 20, 21) This supports the conclusion that Michael is Jesus Christ, since Jesus is Jehovah’s appointed King, commissioned to destroy all the nations at Har–Magedon.—Re 11:15; 16:14-16.

The book of Revelation (12:7, 10, 12) specifically mentions Michael in connection with the establishment of God’s Kingdom and links this event with trouble for the earth: “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled. And I heard a loud voice in heaven say: ‘Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down . . . On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea.’” Jesus Christ is later depicted as leading the heavenly armies in war against the nations of the earth. (Re 19:11-16) This would mean a period of distress for them, which would logically be included in the “time of distress” that is associated with Michael’s standing up. (Da 12:1) Since the Son of God is to fight the nations, it is only reasonable that he was the one who with his angels earlier battled against the superhuman dragon, Satan the Devil, and his angels.

In his prehuman existence Jesus was called “the Word.” (Joh 1:1) He also had the personal name Michael. By retaining the name Jesus after his resurrection (Ac 9:5), “the Word” shows that he is identical with the Son of God on earth. His resuming his heavenly name Michael and his title (or name) “The Word of God” (Re 19:13) ties him in with his prehuman existence. The very name Michael, asking as it does, “Who Is Like God?” points to the fact that Jehovah God is without like, or equal, and that Michael his archangel is his great Champion or Vindicator.
