Michael

Siblings: The True Archangels

**Michael** is one of two oldest True Archangels that created by God and the twin-brother of Lucifer. He is the field commander of the army of God, the Heavenly Host.

## Overview

Michael is one of the symbols of faith and humility among Humans, being known as the Son of God and the Left Hand of God. He is the enemy of Hell and the Sword of Truth, who cuts evil at its roots with his divine flames and purifies the unholy. Being one of the oldest Angels, he is one of the most powerful Archangels, being the light that alongside the stars watches over human beings, protecting them as a family.

He puts fear into Demons, and even Satan recognizes his divine authority as the prince of Angels and Archangels. Known among Christians as Saint Archangel Michael, he is the one who, alongside Gabriel, stands before the Throne of God.

Michael appears in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament of the Christian Bible, being mentioned as an archangel only once during the epistle of Judas Adelfo, brother of Jesus Christ.

Indicating the main characteristic of the Archangel, humility, in contrast to Lucifer, whose main sin is pride. With all this, it can be concluded that Michael is God's main weapon against the forces of evil, with the exception of Jesus Christ, who is God Himself.

Michael is humility that prevails over pride, that's why Michael doesn't dare use his own name to defeat the Devil, but invokes the name of God. Michael is identified as the Angel who drove Satan out of Heaven, and at the end of time, he will once again battle in the name of God against the forces of chaos and evil, this time to drive the Red Dragon and his troops out of Heaven for all ever. Because he represents humility, faith, and his name meaning "Who is like God", some have identified Michael as Christ Himself in His pre-existence.

Although this is false, due to the fact that Jesus has authority over Satan, while Michael needs to invoke the authority of his Lord to cast Satan out.

Nonetheless, it can be said that Michael and Jesus are somehow related, with perhaps Michael being an extension or aspect of Christ, as the Archangel of Faith carries titles like "Who is Like God" and the Right Hand of God, titles that would be a blasphemy like Hell to be directed at anyone other than God.

In a similar way, the Archangel Gabriel who is the Left Hand of God seems to be related to the Holy Spirit, as both are interpreted as female figures due to their maternal attributes, and whereas other religions besides Christianity such as the Baháʼí Faith or Islam, consider the Holy Spirit the Archangel Gabriel, it can be said that both are somehow linked. Michael is the earthly representative of Christ, and Gabriel is the earthly representative of the Holy Spirit.

## Appearance

Michael appears as an adult of an average height with darker brown hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. Unlike in the paintings and photos of Michael, his is not as muscular as he is thought to be. Michael also has 12 golden white wings that glow as bright is the Sun itself if not brighter, which he can retract at will when on Earth when asked by God himself.

On some occasions, his eyes are genuinely seen in a perpetually sad manner when genuinely angered or happy. He is usually seen wearing a white hoodie covering a black shirt and an orange stripe along navy blue pants. He also is seen wearing a blue vest over a white shirt and brown pants. When Michael is in a human vessel for a long time, the Archangel prefers to dress in clothes that go with his style like an overcoat over the clothes. Sometimes he changes into a brown or dark suit. However, Michael is almost never seen using a human vessel and prefers to use only one of his human forms.

When viewed through Anael's eyes, the true form of Michael appears as a bright blue-white aura surrounding his body. His wings turn into pure white/bright blue light, and Michael is able to see both corporeal and incorporeal entities at will.

## Personality

As the general and prince of the heavenly host, he is a firm leader and wise to his decisions, he is also a great tactician and a skilled commanding officer. He is also a highly charismatic leader and capable of endearing, boasting the morale, and earning genuine respect to those who serve under his command. He is also compassionate towards his siblings and is a devoted follower and servant of God and will do anything commanded at him to the absolute best.

Michael lacks any of the prejudice and bigotry that a lot of angels bear towards Demons and Fallen Angels due to his immense kindness despite possessing some disdain towards their filthy behaviors, and is perfectly willing to show kindness to or even befriend them, where he showed courtesy and politeness. Being the Archangel who embodies the concept of justice, fairness, and the patron saint of soldiers, he possess a strong sense of fair, righteous, yet firm and moral sense of justice, and is deeply compassionate towards his duty and also especially towards the people who experience mistreatment, injustice, and cruelty, and he possesses great disdain and animosity towards to people possess any form of abhorrently acts or unjust behavior towards the innocents.

He also hates people who perverts justice and those who hypocritically uses justice as an excuse and validation for them to use unnecessary violence and unjust actions, for their own hypocrisy, benefit and means to the end. And that he shows animosity and visible disgust to any who violates and foolishly uses the power and authority of justice for their selfish and "self-righteous" beliefs of what's right or wrong, and deems who's innocent or guilty/sinner.

Some Angels fear Michael due to his status and authority, however, when he detects this he states that it is not he that they should fear, but God, being clear that he is not exactly fond of being looked at with fear. He is not one to tolerate insubordination, and is vocal with those who attempt to act in such a manner. He is quick to anger in the face of possible betrayal and can be quite aggressive in combat. Uriel explains that this is due to the fact that Lucifer, his own brother, betrayed their Father and their family, and this left Michael scarred and possibly paranoid.

Michael's relationship with humans is rather complicated at best. While he does not hate them like Lucifer does, he does view them as inferior and will not hesitate to be cruel towards them in the face of disrespect, yet he does not display Lucifer's arrogant behavior to their presence and often appeared to them as a strong and humble servant of God. Unlike his brother Gabriel, Michael will only defend the humans and the Earth itself if God commands him to do so.

As time goes by, he becomes less critical and stern to them, and showing genuine concern and compassion for their well-being, specially towards the innocents who suffer great pain, agony, and turmoil in the hands of the merciless and remorseless ones. His judgement is quick, yet fierce and frightening, while maintaining his calm and level-headed composure.

Despite this, Michael is a heroic celestial being as his indomitable willpower, lawfully absolute loyalty to his fatherly creator and refusal to give up even under seemingly insurmountable odds (most notably when he faced the combined might of Lucifer and Satan, then later beings such as Nyarlathotep without hesitation, persisting against them until he finally gained the upper hand) that allows people such as Dante to trust the Archangel, and respect him as an ally.

He is impeccably loyal to his father, and takes his duties with utmost seriousness, expecting the same from the Angels and his brothers. His loyalty is so great, that he is willing to sacrifice himself in order to defeat his brother Lucifer or Satan, believing it to be his destiny, that was written down by God, to lay down his life for the sake of creation. Dante describes Michael as a "daddy's boy" seeing as how he is willing to do anything to please his father and goes on to say that in contrast Lucifer is more of a "momma's boy" since he relishes in being spoiled by Barbelo, their mother.

His loyalty is so great that he personally serves as Jesus Christ's guardian and protector during his time and mission on Earth to save humanity from their eternal damnation. He is revealed to be the Angel that protected Jesus from behind the scenes and sidelines, during His test on the desert by Satan, and the Angel that appeared to Jesus and encourage Him, when He prayed in the garden where one of His acolytes betrayed Him.

## History

The Archangel Michael, like the other Archangels, was created during or even before the dawn of Creation, the famous "Let there be light". Michael and his brothers roamed the vastness of space alongside God hunting the spawn and descendants of Azathoth who had escaped from the Creator during the Primordial Wars. This was considered by the Archangels as one of the greatest moments in their long lives, or even the best, when "only" they shared the Creator's love.

After God created humanity, He ordered all divine beings to bow to the humans, something that Lucifer and Satan did not accept, which triggered a revolution in Heaven. After a grand battle, Michael finally managed to expel the Morning Star from Paradise and launch it on Earth, leaving a large crater in the ground. This was the greatest and better feat of the Archangel Saint Michael among humans and even Angels.

He leads God's armies against Lucifer's forces during his uprising. Michael appears as "one of the chief princes" who in Daniel's vision comes to Gabriel's aid in his contest with the prince of Persia.

During the lifetime of Yehoshu'a Hamashia, Michael stood over the grave of Moses, with Satan appearing behind him. The two fought over the body of Moses, with the clash between the two ending with Michael saying "may the Lord rebuke you".

## Myths and Legends

Michael is also described there as the advocate of the Children of Israel and as a "great prince who stands up for the children of your people". In Hebrew, Michael means "who is like God", "Who is like God?" However, it does not mean that one should confuse him with being like God, instead it implies that no one is like God. In this way, Michael is reinterpreted as a symbol of humility before God. In Islam, Michael serves as one who delivered bounty and sustenance to all living things as commanded by God.

In late medieval Christianity, Michael, together with Saint George, became the patron saint of chivalry, and of the first chivalrous order of France, the Order of Saint Michael of 1469. In the British honors system, a chivalry order founded in 1818 is also named for these two saints, (The Order of St Michael and St George. St Michael is also considered in many Christian circles as the patron) saint of the warrior. Police officers and soldiers, particularly paratroopers and fighter pilots, regard him as their patron. He is also a patron of Germany and of the City of Brussels.

Roman Catholics (refer to him as Saint Michael the Archangel and also simply as Saint Michael). Orthodox Christians refer to him as the Taxi-arch Archangel Michael or simply Archangel Michael. The New Thought Movement refers to Michael as Christ Michael.
