Jesus is Michael The Archangel. Michael the Archangel is a title for Christ as the Commander of the heavenly hosts, not an indication that Jesus is a created being. This belief is based on how the Bible describes Michael in ways that align with Christ’s divine authority. The name Michael means “Who is like God?”, a fitting title for the Son of God, who is equal with the Father in nature, character, and purpose. Biblical Basis for Michael as a Title for Christ 1. Michael is called “the great prince” who protects God’s people. • Daniel 12:1 (KJV): “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people.” • Jesus is the one who defends and saves His people (Matthew 1:21). 2. Michael has authority over Satan. • Jude 1:9 (KJV): “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.” • This verse speaks about Michael the Archangel, and there is only one. That is Jesus. We also see that Christ resurrected Moses and brought him to heaven, not allowing Satan to take his body. • This aligns with Christ’s authority over Satan (Matthew 4:10, Revelation 12:7-9). 3. At Christ’s return, “the voice of the archangel” raises the dead. • 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (KJV): “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.” • Since only Jesus has the power to resurrect the dead (John 5:25-29), this confirms that “archangel” is a title for Christ’s authority over the angels. Jesus is Michael the Archangel. This interpretation does not mean Jesus is an angel or a created being. Instead, He is the divine Son of God, the leader of the heavenly armies (Revelation 19:11-14), and the name Michael the Archangel signifies His position as the defender and commander of God’s people.
