So Michael and his angels battled with Satan and his angels, who is Michael?
The Bible says Michael is the archangel.
The Bible says Jesus has an archangels voice.
If Jesus was given 'all authority and power in heaven and earth,' ..well then either..1) he IS Michael, 2) or he rivals Michael.
Galatians 4:14b..but you received me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus.
Revelation 12:7; 1Thessalonians 4:16; Matthew 27:18; Jude 9; Daniel 12:1; Daniel 12:21.

St. Michael is an Archangel. Jesus is the 2nd person of the Holy Trinity. They are not the same person. If Jesus was St. Michael, don't you think when He walked the Earth, instead of being called Jesus, He would have been called Michael. St.Michael after the rebellion in the Heavens became the greatest Angel in the Heavens, but no where in the bible is St. Michael proclaimed as savior, but Jesus is, they are 2 different entities.

The bible does not say the Jesus has an archangel's voice. It tell us that he will come with the Voice of an Archangel and the trumpet of God.
Jesus is not Michael the Archangel, nor is he Ronald McDonald.
An angle is not to rebuke Satan, but Jesus did. No where in the bible does it say that Jesus is or was Michael.
Do you really believe that God would deceive us in that way?
Galatians 4:14b..but you received me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus. I tell my daughter at times she is sweet as an angel. Then sometimes I tell her that she is my little angel. Does this make her an Angel of God? Of course not.
The word to look at is "Like" Looks "Like", receive me "Like"
The bible teaches us that there are three archangels, Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer. Non of which are Jesus.
If you are a Jehovah's Witness, then I just wasted my time. I am not the "Almighty Watchtower" You can quote all kinds of verses from the bible but none will tell you that Jesus was Michael the Archangel. The JW's have it wrong as with most of their doctrine. The "Almighty Watchtower" is the Wolf among us.
Matthew 28:
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Is this what you are talking about that Jesus is God? We Know that, so I guess he can not be Michael, Right.
Did you notice That they worshipped him, if Jesus was Michael, he could not accept worship.

The spirit creature called Michael is not mentioned often in the Bible. However, when he is referred to, he is in action. In the book of Daniel, Michael is battling wicked angels; in the letter of Jude, he is disputing with Satan; and in Revelation, he is waging war with the Devil and his demons. By defending Jehovah's rulership and fighting God's enemies, Michael lives up to the meaning of his name, “Who Is Like God?” But who is Michael?
At times, individuals are known by more than one name. For example, the partiarch Jacob is also known as Israel, and the apostle Peter, as Simon. Likewise, the Bible indicates that Michael is another name for Jesus Christ, before and after his life on earth. So let's consider Scriptural reasons for drawing that conclusion.
God's Word refers to Michael “the archangel.” (Jude 9) This term means “chief angel.” Notice that Michael is called “the” archangel. This suggests that there is only one such angel. In fact, the term “archangel” occurs in the Bible only in the singular, never in the plural. Moreover, Jesus is linked with the office of archangel. Regarding the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thess. 4:16 states: “The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice.” Thus the voice of Jesus is described as being that of an archangel. This scripture therefore suggests that Jesus himself is the archangel Michael.
The Bible states that “Michael and (his) angels battled with the dragon, and its angels.” So then, Michael is the Leader of an army of faithful angels. Revelation also describes Jesus as the Leader of an army of faithful angels. And the apostle Paul specifically mentions “the Lord Jesus” and “his powerful angels.” So the Bible speaks of both Michael and “his angels” and Jesus and “his angels.” (Matt. 13:41) Since God's Word nowhere indicates that there are two armies of faithful angels in heaven, one headed by Michael and one headed by Jesus, it is logical to conclude that Michael is none other than Jesus Christ in his heavenly role.

GOD is plural. Three persons, being the Father the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is GOD. He is not an archangel. From the Gospel of John: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
Archangels are superior or higher-ranking angels, created by GOD.

The name of this Michael appears only five times in the Bible. The glorious spirit person who bears the name is referred to as “one of the chief princes,” “the great prince who has charge of your [Daniel’s] people,” and as “the archangel.” (Dan. 10:13; 12:1; Jude 9, RS) Michael means “Who Is Like God?” The name evidently designates Michael as the one who takes the lead in upholding Jehovah’s sovereignty and destroying God’s enemies.
At 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (RS), the command of Jesus Christ for the resurrection to begin is described as “the archangel’s call,” and Jude 9 says that the archangel is Michael. Would it be appropriate to liken Jesus’ commanding call to that of someone lesser in authority? Reasonably, then, the archangel Michael is Jesus Christ. (Interestingly, the expression “archangel” is never found in the plural in the Scriptures, thus implying that there is only one.)
Revelation 12:7-12 says that Michael and his angels would war against Satan and hurl him and his wicked angels out of heaven in connection with the conferring of kingly authority on Christ. Jesus is later depicted as leading the armies of heaven in war against the nations of the world. (Rev. 19:11-16) Is it not reasonable that Jesus would also be the one to take action against the one he described as “ruler of this world,” Satan the Devil? (John 12:31) Daniel 12:1 (RS) associates the ‘standing up of Michael’ to act with authority with “a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time.” That would certainly fit the experience of the nations when Christ as heavenly executioner takes action against them. So the evidence indicates that the Son of God was known as Michael before he came to earth and is known also by that name since his return to heaven where he resides as the glorified spirit Son of God.

Jesus Christ is Almighty God. Michael is the Archangel.
