Michael is the Archangel mentioned in the Book of Revelation 12:7. In the Old
Testament Michael is mentioned by name in the Persian context of the Book of
Daniel. He is generally presented as the field commander of the Army of God.
There Michael appears as "one of the chief princes" (Daniel 10:13)
Michael who in Daniels vision comes to the Lords aid in his contest with the
leader of Persia, and is also described there as the advocate of Israel and
"great prince (or leader) who stands up for the of your (Daniels)
people" (Daniel 10:21, 12:1). The Talmudic tradition rendered his name as
meaning "who is like El ("God"but literally "Els
Likeness")" (compare the late prophet Micah), but according to Rabbi
Simeon ben Lakish (AD 230270), all the specific names for the angels were
brought back by the Jews from Babylon, and many modern commentators would
agree. The name title "Archangel" translated into the English
language means: highest messenger. St Michael is also considered in many
Christian circles as the patron saint of the warrior. Police officers and
soldiers, particularly paratroopers, regard him as their patron saint. Roman
Catholics refer to him as Saint Michael the Archangel and also simply as Saint
Michael ("Saint" is a title meaning "holy", and is not
meant to indicate that Michael is a human soul in heaven). Orthodox Christians
refer to him as the Taxiarch ("Commander") Archangel Michael or
simply Archangel Michael.
