Michael is more like a title than Jesus’ actual name. The heavenly being, Michael, is only identified as the archangel in Jude 1:9, “Michael the archangel.” What does this signify? The word “angel” means a messenger or ambassador. Archangel would include the thought of chief messenger or representative of God.  In Hebrew “Michael” is Strong’s … Continue reading “Is Jesus really Michael the archangel, and if so, did Jehovah use His first created being to create the world?
