Throughout the synoptic Gospel, Jesus is called the "son of David". He is never called or linked with Michael or any other spirit being. An angelic identity for the Son of God is plainly excluded. If Jesus had pre-exisited as Michael, He could not by definition have been the lineal and biological descendent of David. To speak of pre-exisitence contadicts the Scriptures which show Jesus is coming into existence only at his conception in Mary. One cannot exist before one exists. Such an idea is illogical. the genealogical record given by Luke takes things even further back to Adam. Luke 3: 38. Revelation 22:16 Jesus defines his identity: I am the shoot and desendant of david and the bright star of the morning". Psalm 22: 10" from the belly of my mother you have been my God".

I know that there are certain "cults" out there who actually believe that Jesus was the angel before he came to earth, but John 1:1 along with the first chapter of Hebrews puts that myth to rest once and for all.
Joh 1:1-3 MKJV: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2) He was in the beginning with God. (3) All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being."
Joh 1:14 MKJV: "And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and of truth."
Heb 1:1-14 MKJV: "God, who at many times and in many ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, (2) has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds, (3) who being the shining splendor of His glory, and the express image of His essence, and upholding all things by the word of His power, through Himself cleansing of our sins, He sat down on the right of the Majesty on high, (4) being made so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. (5) For to which of the angels did He say at any time, "You are My Son, this day I have begotten You?" And again, "I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?" (6) And again, when He brings in the First-born into the world, He says, "And let all the angels of God worship Him." (7) And of the angels He says, "Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire." (8) But to the Son He says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. (9) You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity, therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows." (10) And, "You, Lord, have laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the works of Your hands. (11) They shall perish, but You will remain. And they shall all become old as a garment, (12) and as a covering You shall fold them up, and they shall be changed. But You are the same, and Your years shall not fail." (13) But to which of the angels, did He say at any time, "Sit on My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool?" (14) Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation?"

Christ Michael is a Creator Son. A pattern of the Eternal Son in Paradise. He is known as Michael and Jesus in heaven. They are the same person. Jesus was his earthly name. We will be given new names in heaven. Joseph's line is the one which has a connection to the "House of David", but this is not hereditary. Joseph was adopted into a family related to King David. Mary was the one with the true heritage, all the way back to Eve.
Jesus did not write Revelation. Therefore, one cannot attribute this verse to him. Revelation is about a vision that a man had. It is the most misinterpreted book of the Bible.

Jesus was never an angel. Jesus was always in heaven with God. John 1 shows this. 1 john 5:7, and Genesis will show this as well.

There in no scripture that connects Jesus to Michael. The are many scriptures that indicate that Christ preexisted the birth of Jesus. This is difficult to understand as is the idea of a trinity. You will not figure it out. Straining on that will only cause you frustration.

Jesus is not mentioned with the Angels because He is not a Angel,He is God.
