Description

Scripture often refers to the Archangel Michael as a “chief prince” of the heavenlies. Michael will play a significant part in end-time events. This angel leads a host of angels in a victorious war over Satan and His demons in Revelation 12. Michael is not merely one of the angels but the head of a battalion of angels, though not their ultimate leader; that would be God.
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 KJV).

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. (Revelation 12:7-8)

Michael is known as God’s "archangel" which means "chief angel." His name means "who is like God?" but who is he?

Michael, An Angel of God

Scripture often refers to Michael as a “chief prince” of the heavenly. The Book of Daniel mentions him multiple times: in Daniel 10:13 as “Michael, one of the chief princes” and in Daniel 12:1 where “Michael, the great prince” protects the people of Israel. In Daniel 10:21, “There is no one with me who contends against these princes except Michael, your prince.” He worked with another angel to answer Daniel’s prayer that God would “turn away your anger and your wrath from Jerusalem, your city, your holy hill” (Daniel 9:16). The reference above, from Jude, is one of only a few direct references to Michael.

What Does Michael Look Like?

The Bible does not help us here very much, although artists have imagined the Archangel Michael (and all angels) as beautiful, taller than humans, and powerful. “Angels are spirit beings” with “some type of localized form — they occupy some space [...] adapted to the unseen spiritual realm.”

Paul explains that “not all flesh is alike” and “there are both heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one thing, and that of the earthly is another” (1 Corinthians 15:39-40). Hebrews 13:2 tells us to remember “to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”
