The Name Michael
The name ‘Michael’ literally means ‘Who is like God?’. As we know from the Bible names were often given to entities in the Bible to further describe them. Names in Bible often given reflecting the nature of the one being named. Foe example, Abraham’s name was changed from Abram to Abraham:
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. (Genesis 17:5)
- Abram means ‘high father’
- Abraham means ‘father of a multitude’
Abram’s name was changed since God was to bless Abraham with much progeny.
The Archangel in the Bible
There are only Two Occurrences of the Greek word ‘archaggelos’:
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
(Jude 1:9)
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
(1 Thessalonians 4:16)
In Jude 9, the Bible refers to the archangel Michael (literally, “who is like God?”). The only other mention of an archangel in the New Testament occurs in 1 Thess 4:16. Archangel literally means ‘chief messenger’. There are no other entities actually called an ‘archangel’ in the Bible.

(Daniel 12:1)
Jesus as a Messenger
Jesus Christ that is referred to as an angel (messenger) in Gal 4:14. Of course, as God Himself, Christ would also be the chief messenger of the Gospel. However, many have made an assumption that this cannot be Christ because Michael is referred to as an angel. But, when the proper definition of the word angel is employed (i.e., messenger), there is no harm in understanding Michael as a representation of Jesus Christ, who is God, and is the chief messenger.

- 1st messenger = John the Baptist (Mal 4:5; Mat 11:10-11; Mar 1:2-3; Luk 1:76, Luk 7:26-28; Joh 1:6-7
- 2nd messenger = Jesus Christ (Lk 1:76, Lk 7:22, etc.)
- Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD of hosts. (Malachi 3:1)
Jesus brought the Good Message (Gospel)
However, it should also be noted that the word ‘evangelize’ is literally the word ‘good message’, from where the word Gospel comes from. Therefore, whoever brings the Gospel, is an evangelist and therefore a good ‘messenger’ of the good news of Jesus Christ (see, for example, 2 Tim 4:5, Acts 21:8, Eph 4:11, etc.). In fact, there are about 170 occurrences of words that relate to the message of the Gospel, which all have the Greek word aggelos as one of its roots. The Greek word for Gospel is euaggelion (which literally would mean ‘good message’). Therefore, anyone who shares the Gospel can be considered as a ‘good messenger’ or angel. This would include Jesus Christ himself since Mal 3:1 talked about two messengers: John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. In addition, Jesus came to speak the words that were sent from the Father (John 8:38-42 combined with John 12:49-50). Therefore, Jesus was a messenger.

Bible written by holy men inspired by the Spirit of Christ
Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
(1 Peter 1:10-12)
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
(2 Peter 1:19-21)
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
The Voice of the Archangel
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
(1 Thessalonians 4:16)
This passage should be understood that the Lord Jesus is the one who shouts. As the chief messenger:
Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
(Jeremiah 25:30)
The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
(Joel 3:16)
And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
(Amos 1:2)
The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
(Isaiah 42:13)
And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
(Revelation 10:1-3)
Jesus as the Great Prince
Michael (see also Dan 10:13, 10:21, 12:1, Rev 12:7) simply means: Who is like God? It is Jesus Christ who is the exact representation (image) of God (Col 1:15, 2 Cor 4:4, 2 Cor 4:6, John 1:18, Heb 1:3, John 14:9, John 15:24). Therefore, Michael in all likelihood represents Christ. This is confirmed by the usage of Michael in Dan 10:13, 21, 12:1. There, it can be seen that He is described as the Great Prince who stands up for the children of God. Elsewhere in Scripture Christ is referred to as the Prince of the people (see Is 9:6, Ez 37:25, Acts 5:31, Dan 9:25). Therefore, there is great Scriptural harmony with understanding Michael as a name for Christ.
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood (Revelation 1:5)
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. (Acts 5:31)
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Revelation 17:14)
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
(Revelation 19:16)
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
(Ephesians 1:20-21)
Just One of the Chief Princes?
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
(Daniel 10:13)
- ‘One’ (Hebrew: echad (H259), 968 occurrences – one, alone)
- ‘Chief’ (Hebrew: rishon (H7223), 182 occurrences – the first in order)
- ‘Princes’ (Hebrew: sar (H8269), 421 occurrences – a leader (of any rank) of a group of people)
The combination of the Hebrew words H259 and H7223 only occur in 10 other relevant passages (Gen 8:13, Ex 12:18, Ex 40:2, Ex 40:17, 2 Chr 29:17, Ezra 7:9, Ezra 10:17, Eze 29:17, Eze 30:20, Eze 45:18). In each of these passages, the combination refers to the first (H259) day of the first (H7223) month. Therefore, it can be concluded that the phrase ‘one of the chief princes’ in Dan 10:13 should be interpreted as the ‘first (or chief) of the chief princes’. The Hebrew word H259 is translated as first in 36 verses in the Old Testament.

(Ephesians 1:20-21)
