Who Is the Archangel Michael?/The Bible's answer - Continue

 . Michael is "the archangel." (Jude 9) The title "archangel," meaning "chief of the angels," appears in only two Bible verses. In both cases the word is singular, suggesting that only one angel bears that title. One of those verses states that the resurrected Lord Jesus "will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice." (1 Thessalonians 4:16) Jesus has "an archangel's voice" because he is the archangel, Michael.  

. Michael commands an angelic army. "Michael and his angels battled with the dragon," Satan. (Revelation 12:7) Michael has great authority in the spirit realm, for he is called "one of the foremost princes" and the "great prince." (Daniel 10:13,21; 12:1) These titles designate Michael as "the commander-in -chief of the angelic forces," as New Testament Scholar David E. Aune puts it.
