REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Seven - War in Heaven! -Continue

Who accomplish this great victory in Jehovah's name? The Bible says it Michael and his angels. But who is Michael? The name "MIchael"means" "Who is like God? So Michael must be interested in vindicating Jehovah's sovereignty by proving that no one is to be compared to Him.   In Jude verse 9,  he is called "Michael the archangel." Interestingly  the title "archangel" is used elsewhere in the Bible wyh reference to only one person: Jesus Christ. Paul says of him: The Lord himself will sescend from heaven eith a commanding call, with an archangel's voice and with God's trumpet." (1 Thessalonians 4:16)  The title "archangel" means "chief of the angels." So it is not surprising that Revelation speaks of "Michael and his angels." Other places where the Bible mentions angels subject to a righteous servant of God have reference to Jesus. Thus, Paul speaks of  "the revelation of the 

lord Jesus from Heaven with his powerful  angels."- 2 THESSALONIANS 1:7; see also MATTHEW 24:30, 31; 25:31.
