WHAT IS AN ARCHANGEL ANYWAY?
In order to answer this question we need to
examine a story of the ARCHANGEL in action.
What is another title given to Michael?
“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.
Here we have a narrative when Moses was
resurrected. Let's take a look a little deeper into this and start by reading
about when Moses died.
“So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. Deuteronomy 34:5,6.
If no one knew where his sepulchre was, who
buried Him? He died alone, and no one knew where it took place other than which
mountain it happened on. Michael came to minister over the body of Moses, and
Satan thought Moses was his prize. Jude was given vision of these things and saw
Satan coming to argue with Michael about the body of Moses. What did Michael
tell Satan? “The LORD rebuke thee.” The Bible goes on to record, “no man knoweth
of his sepulchre unto this day.” No one ever found the burying place of Moses;
why? Because Michael resurrected Moses.
Moses was alive to minister to Jesus on the
mount of transfiguration. “And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias
talking with him.” Matthew 17:3. Elijah of course needed no resurrection. “And
it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared
a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah
went up by a whirlwind into heaven.” 2 Kings 2:11.
The voice of the Archangel
calls the dead from the grave.
“For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16
THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE LORD
GOD HIMSELF ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL PROPHECY OF JEREMIAH
Most Bible students fail to recognize that
Paul is actually quoting an Old Testament prophecy.
It is the Lord Himself shouting
it is His voice calling the dead from the grave.
“The
LORD shall roar from on high, and
utter His voice from his holy habitation;
He shall mightily roar upon his habitation;
HE SHALL GIVE A SHOUT, as they that
tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.” Jeremiah 25:30.
ONLY JESUS HAS POWER TO RAISE THE DEAD,
NOT EVEN GABRIEL CAN CAN DO THAT, NO ANGEL CAN!
Demons personate dead people but can't actually
bring them back!
ONLY JESUS CAN RESURRECT THE DEAD
No one but Jesus has power to raise the
dead. Jesus is “the way the truth and the LIFE” John 14:6.
“Jesus said unto her, I am
the resurrection, and the life.” John 11:25. The name of Jesus alone is
powerful enough to raise the dead!
IS "ARCHANGEL" THE BEST TRANSLATION OF THE ORIGINAL GREEK WORD? What perplexes many minds at the teaching of Michael being Jesus Christ is the title “archangel.” With out searching for themselves many conclude that the archangel must be Himself a created angel. JESUS CHRIST IS NOT A CREATED ANGEL! HE IS THE CREATOR OF THE ANGELS! This gave Him the position as the chief leader of the angels! The word “archangel” appears only twice in the Bible. Lets look at the Strong’s Concordance concerning this word. “747 archegos ar-khay-gos; from 746 and 71; a chief leader:- author, captain, prince” Strong’s Concordance Anyone of those words could have been used in translation to the English. Notice nothing in there says the archangel was an angel, rather the chief leader of the host of heaven. In a moment we will look at the name “Captain” but first lets look at the two verses containing “archangel” again. This time lets translate “archangel” using the word “prince.” The person referred to becomes obvious. “Yet Michael the Prince, 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. “For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Prince, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16.
No one would take offence by
naming the Prince as Christ.
Unfortunately the title “archangel” is hard
for some to understand, as applying to Him.

It violates the Law of God to bow and worship anything the LORD has created, including ANGELS.
“Let no man beguile you of your reward in a
voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things
which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,”
Colossians 2:18 |
The Commander of all the angels of Heaven is worshipped by Joshua
And it came to pass,
when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and,
behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand:
and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our
adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I
now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship,
and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? And the captain
of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for
the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
Joshua 5:13-15 Let's review: Captain is one of the proper translations of Archangel “747 archegos ar-khay-gos; from 746 and 71; a chief leader:- author, captain, prince” Strong’s Concordance |

Only God is to be worshipped
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Matthew 4:9,10 |

The "Angel of God" is God And
the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying,
Jacob: And I said, Here am I. And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see,
all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstreaked, speckled, and
grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. I
am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where
thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and
return unto the land of thy kindred.” Genesis
31:11-13 |

"The ANGEL" IS ACTUALLY GOD He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God: Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us; Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.” Hosea 12:3-5 This is referring to the night Jacob wrestled with a man all night. The prophet declares that man was God, yet in the same passage it called him, “the angel.” And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. Genesis 32:24
