Michael (mî'ka-el or mî'kel), who as God? 1. A chief angel, who is represented as the patron of the Hebrews before God. Daniel 12:1. In Judges 1:9 Michael is represented "as contending with Satan about the body of Moses." So again in Revelation 12:5; Revelation 12:7; Revelation 12:9, the symbolic scenery which represents the malignity of Satan towards the "man-child "= Christianity—the child of Judaism, caught up to the throne of God, i.e., placed under the divine protection, and invested with sovereign power—Michael and his angels are represented as waging war with Satan and his angels in the upper regions; from which the latter ate cast down upon the earth. There are ten persons of this name mentioned in the Bible.
