The testimony of the Scriptures indicates that Mikael was the name of the Son of God before he left heaven to become Jesus Christ and he was also after his return. Only Michael is called "archangel", a word which means "chief angel 'or' principal angel." This term does not exist in the singular in the Bible. This suggests that God did not appoint a single head of the angelic host.
In resuming his heavenly name, Michael, and his title (or name) "The Word of God" (Revelation 7:13 p.m.), Jesus establishes the link with his prehuman existence. The very name Michael, asking the question "Who is like God? "Shows that God is without equal and his archangel Michael is his great Champion or Defender. |
