Rev 12:7 - And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels warred back.Īllow me to add a few further verses as well:.And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. Dan 12:1 - “Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise.Yet no one has the courage to support me against these, except Michael your prince. Dan 10:21 - But first I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth.Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. Dan 10:13 - However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days.
To the above data we may add the following: 1 Thess 4:16 - For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.Jude 9 - Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”.The archangel is mentioned just twice in the Bible: When this archangelic voice sounds, it will cause all other, unbelieving and negative voices, to cease altogether. Since the 1 Thessalonians 4:16 text refers to 'the voice' of the archangel (in a situation where all combat is already over and won) it would be reasonable to suppose it is Gabriel, the one who stands and is sent to enunciate, and is chief enough to be sent on arguably the two most significant of all tasks in all of history, thus able for the third most significant task, at the end of history. The un-named archangel could be either of these persons, or it could be another un-named (and never named) angel. Michael is also called an archangel in Revelation 12:7. Michael is named five times in scripture, every time in respect of combat, leading other angels. He also has the power at his disposal to respond to inappropriate enunciation (by unbelief) and to prevent further such (negative) speech pending a significant event, Luke 1:20 and 1:64. Gabriel stands in the presence of God, Luke 1:19, and was sent from God, Luke 1:26. Two angels are named in scripture - Gabriel, twice, and Michael, five times - a total of seven times.
