Poll: Who thinks since Jesus leads the armies of Heaven in Revelations that he is Michael the Archangel?

Question

In John chapter one Jesus is decribed as "The Word" is with God and is God (Meaning acting as) In Revelations A White horse is seen in chapter 19 I believe leading the armies of heaven (which is Michaels Job) and on his forehead is "The Word" and on his side is written King of Kings, Lord of Lords. Christ is mentioned in Isaiah as The Prince of Peace and Michael is mentioned as One of the chief princes. On top of that In the burning bush passage where God says his name it starts off The Archangel appeared then it says God spoke it does not mention the arch as seperate from God. So is Michael (he who is assuredly God in other scripture) Acting as God and was also Michael and could it be he is doing so because God is to pwoerful for us to hear or is he God alone?

Answer 1

The bible is a book, and I do not see Jesus or the armies of heaven.
Welcome to reality.

Answer 2

No, They are not the same. There is a book that explains all of the meaning of Revelation using simple commentary and the scriptures from the Old Testament.

John has two main points of reference from which he formulated his thoughts and words into the presentation of his message: 1) The truth, or reality, and 2) The Old Testament. From these two points of reference came John’s entire message, as all the symbolism and figurative expressions used by him can be found in Old Testament writings, which were the only form of written scripture available in his day.

The answer is within the book. Here are just a couple of paragraphs pertaining to your question:


In Daniel 10:13, Daniel uses the name “Michael” as the one who saves the day; throwing secular historians off the mark because there is no mention of a “Michael” in the history of the downfall of the Persian kingdom.


In Rev chapter 19, Christ is the one riding the white horse.

Christ’s mission is to wield the sword of truth and cut asunder all the falsehoods of the world—which create inequality and inhibit the happiness of humankind. The “war” he “makes” is truth and righteousness (“Faithful and True”) against falsehoods and injustice. He rides a “white horse” because the earth is returned to the state it was when humankind began its existence in peace and purity as explained in the commentary of Revelation, chapter 6, regarding the “rider” upon a “white horse.”


If you would like to understand better, you may read the book free from the website below. No one who reads it will walk away as the same person. Its enlightenment will enhance the truth seeker’s perception, and confuse the skeptic’s arguments.

A complete understanding cannot be attained unless the reader begins at the first part of John’s message and continues to the end. Skipping parts or jumping from section to section will lead to confusion and misunderstanding, which is the way in which Revelation is currently understood by religion, and learned by students of New Testament writings.

Excellent question for the Philosophy category because of its relation to hermeneutics: 1) content, and 2) the arrangement of content. The connaturality of Spinoza's "Theological-Political Treatise" to what we might call "allusiveness in the text" is of utmost importance; moreover, these are topics the gravity of which only the most learned grasp.

Answer 4

You are on the trail of the details held in ancient myth, dream and saga. All is to be taken figuratively and understanding that myth has something to tell us about our human nature. If we are still at the stage of taking these stories literally, we run into danger of valuing the story over the content. They were originally written to edify, inform, control, etc. in support of a developing Christian ethos with a highly developed symbolic background. My advice is, don't nitpick among the details, but ask what is relevant to today's lives.

Not a philosophical question Go to All Categories>Social & Cultural>Religion & Spirituality


BTW we don't need a sermon from you or anybody else. This is neither the place or forum for it.

Answer 6

I think you read a book written by man based on tales.
