MICHAEL
“Who is like God?” Archangel, one of the main celestial leaders; He helped the shining angel dressed in linen fight against the spiritual being who was the prince behind the kingdom of Persia (Dan. 10:13).
Michael fights for Israel (Dan. 10:21; 12:1). With his angels, he wages a victorious war against the enemies of God’s people (Rev. 12:7).
After the exile, the Jews developed an extensive body of angelological doctrine and made Michael one of the seven archangels (Tob. 12:15). Gabriel is the second (Dan. 8:16; 9:21); The Apocrypha names five others.
archangels: Raphael (Tob. 3:17), Uriel, Chamuel, Jophiel and Zadkiel. Jude speaks of Michael disputing with Satan over the body of Moses (Jude 9; cf. 2 Peter 2:11).
The Targum of Jonathan mentions this fact in connection with Deut. 34:6, and attributes the burial of Moses to Michael and other angels.
