In the Bible Appears an Archangel by the name of MICHAEL.In the book of names for babies?

The name is Hebrew and means Who is like God..Jesus being the only begotten son of Jehovah is the only other angel who is like god. My question is other than Jesus could this be.?In Daniel we see him fighting wicked angels on behalf of God’s people. In Jude he is disputing with Satan over the body of Moses. And in the book of Revelation he casts Satan and his demons down to the earth. Evidently, Michael is a key figure in heaven.

Update:

When Michael is pictured in the Bible he is combating in behalf of his fathers soverignty. Only a son would protect whats upright in behalf of his mighty father..Aside from Michael, no archangel is mentioned in the Bible, nor do the Scriptures use the term “archangel” in the plural. The Bible describes Michael as the archangel, implying that he alone bears that designation. Hence, it is reasonable to conclude that Jehovah God has delegated to one, and only one, of his heavenly creatures full authority over all other angels.

    1 Thessalonians 4:16

    16 because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s+ voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first.

    In the 66 books of the word of God, there is only one archangel. The word "archangel" is a singular superlative meaning the only chief of the angels. The Lord Jesus has the voice, meaning the commanding authority, of an archangel.

    And at 1 Thess 4:15-17 we read : ) For this is what we tell YOU by Jehovah’s word, that we the living who survive to the presence of the Lord shall in no way precede those who have fallen asleep [in death]; 16 because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first. 17 Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we shall always be with [the] Lord.

    While on earth Jesus said he had other sheep not of this fold, the fold he was referring to he called the Little flock(Rev 7:4), the other sheep are mentioned at Rev 7:9,14, these are the ones that survive the great tribulation(Armageddon)!

    Notice that it's an "archangel’s voice " that gives this commanding call, this is none other than the resurrected Jesus Christ, only begotten Son of Jehovah God, the firstborn of all creation! who is calling his faithful slaves!

    Jesus is called many names. In Revelation 19 He appears to be called the Word of God. Its possible He is Michael but it appears more likely that when this word appears it is used as a defining demonstration, ( He is like God ) rather than as an actual name as it also appears that Michael is a separate identity from Christ.

    According to some Jewish texts, there are 4 archangels in heaven, though there was at least 5 (Satan). They do God's bidding and appear to give some special revelation of God.

    Jesus is not an angel, but was created before the angels and was meant from the beginning to be God in human form to appeal to us. They are completely different from each other.

    I am not sure, but I think Michael is the angel that is the head of God's armies. He is the warrior angel. Like Gabriel is the messenger angel.

    Jesus IS God, Michael the Archangel is just an angel.

    Michael is the only begotten son of Jehovah; it is another of his names.

    OK, these two unrelated actors were cast as a father and a son, in "Bonnie & Clyde".

    One looks enough like the other to imagined as his son,

    If it gives you comfort to imagine that the physical appearance of Jesus (who has a body) is "close enough) to the physical appearance of any angel ( who, rumor has it, are spirits without bodies) go ahead.

    And if the rumor that neither God nor Angels have bodies means they look alike, fine and dandy.

    First Jesus IS God...not like God...and angels are like God because the WORD states God is a SPIRIT and them that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth...angels are Ministering Spirits..creating by Him to do so.....Ministering is what Michael does.....if you knew what that entailed, then you would know the Truth

    However you follow men and their doctrine and refuse God and His Truth

    Jesus is like God alright, He IS God

    Jesus doesn't have to fight any of His created beings

    He will destroy all His enemies by His Word in Revelation
