obeisance means worship..so they worshiped the Archangel Michael?

Mr. Cal..So as your quoted...
At Matthew 4:10 (Revised Standard Version), Jesus said: “You shall worship [from pro·sky·ne′o] the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.” (At Deuteronomy 6:13: which Jesus is evidently here quoting, appears the personal name of God, the Tetragrammaton.)

As Jesus said you are to worship your God ONLY..then if Angels worshiped Jesus, would that not mean that Jesus is God?

I guess you didn't read my answer to your last question.

The angels are giving obeisance to the Archangel (Chief Messenger)

You have to read Heb 1:9. Jehovah (Jesus' God) anointed Jesus and made him better than his partners / sons, (Job 1:6)

Why is Jesus better? Because he has inherited a name better than theirs.

When you inherit something, it is because it wasn't yours to begin with.

Christians inherit salvation, because we don't have salvation.

Heb 3:1Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; (Look up Apostle in the dictionary)

If you insist that the angels are worshiping Jesus, then this worship is the same as that of unfaithful Jews worshiping Christians.

KJV: Rev 3:9Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.


Edit:=====

Notice definition of obeisance:

1 : a movement of the body made in token of respect or submission : BOW
2 : acknowledgment of another's superiority or importance : HOMAGE

Worship is more than just bowing and giving honor to some one.

Yet according to KJV Jews are to worship christians.

Who deserves more honor, the perfect Archangel Michael? or imperfect Christians?

At Hebrews 1:6, the angels are instructed to “worship” Jesus, according to the rendering of Revised Standard Version, Today's English Version, King James Version, Jeruslame Bible, and New American Bible. At Matthew 14:33, Jesus’ disciples are said to have “worshiped” him, according to Revised Standard Version, Today's English Version, King James Version. Other translations say that they “showed him reverence” (New American Bible), “bowed down before him” (Jerusalem Bible), “fell at his feet” (New English Bible -

The Greek word rendered “worship” is pro·sky·ne′o, which 'A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature' says was also “used to designate the custom of prostrating oneself before a person and kissing his feet, the hem of his garment, the ground.” (Chicago, 1979, Bauer, Arndt, Gingrich, Danker; second English edition; p. 716) This is the term used at Matthew 14:33 to express what the disciples did toward Jesus. At Hebrews 1:6 to indicate what the angels are to do toward Jesus,

At Matthew 4:10 (Revised Standard Version), Jesus said: “You shall worship [from pro·sky·ne′o] the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.” (At Deuteronomy 6:13: which Jesus is evidently here quoting, appears the personal name of God, the Tetragrammaton.)

It can also refer to the respect and honor shown to another person.

I am a former follower of the Witnesses and nowadays as a Christian, I do wonder where the Witnesses even got the idea that Jesus was the same as Michael The Archangel when scripture itself never says that at all.
