What the Bible scripture mean in Revelation 19:10. And why JW worship Ark Angel Mikael instead of Jesus?

We, Jehovah's Witnesses worship Jehovah God, if you read from verse 5 to 10 you will be able to understand what occurred. We do not worship Jesus or anybody other than Jehovah our God.

Revelation 19:10 has an angel, sent to John, rebuking John who attempted to fall down before the angel. The same thing happens in Revelation 22:8-9. So, twice, John is rebuked for prostrating himself to an angel.
However, in Revelation 1:17, when the resurrected Jesus appears to John and John falls down before Him, far from rebuking him, Jesus tells him not to be afraid! Jesus accepts such prostration. This proves that Jesus cannot be a created angel, not even an arch-angel.
And this is why JWs do NOT worship Jesus - because they say Jesus is a created arch-angel. And they know angels must not be worshipped.
The JWs fall between two stools here, given that they agree the Bible calls Jesus 'the Mighty God' in Isaiah 9:6, and even their iniquitous rendition of John 1:1 calls Him 'a god'. They agree that deity is ascribed to Jesus, but say it is relative, and nominal - merely a designation of respect as Him being 'a mighty one', 'godlike' as Jehovah's representative. But no worship is ever to go to this lesser god. They think this keeps them in the clear. No, it doesn't. Revelation (those three sections) prove that Jesus cannot be a created angel.
Further, Jesus accepted doubting Thomas's worship when he addressed the risen Christ, "My Lord and my God" (John 20:28). And Jesus said that if we do not give Him the same honor as we give the Father, we do not honor the Father (John 5:23). Yet JWs dishonour Christ by refusing to worship Him as they worship the Father, because worship is the highest honor we can give anyone.

I don't think JWs worship Michael as for Rev 19:10
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy
This verse begins q prophecy of a war against the beast and the false prophet of many people riding white horse but more like the glory Of Jesus who is called King of Kings, the Son of God

The angel whom Jesus Christ sent to bring the Revelation to John expressed the principle that man’s worship belongs only to God, when he refused to accept worship from John. Rev 19:10
The word archangel means chief of the angels.”The Bible mentions only one archangel, and his name is Michael. Daniel 12:1
Michael is the Leader of God’s army of faithful angels. Revelation 12:7 says: Michael and his angels battled with the dragon and its angels.
The book of Revelation says that the Leader of God’s army is Jesus, so Michael is another name for Jesus. Revelation 19:14-16.

They do not worship any angel.
Revelation 22:8 Well I, John, was the one hearing and seeing these things. When I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing me these things. 9 But he tells me: “Be careful! Do not do that! I am only a fellow slave of you and of your brothers the prophets and of those observing the words of this scroll. Worship God.”

The non Christian Jehovah's Witnesses have many strange beliefs. According to them, Jesus is:
"a god"
"a spirit creature"
the patron saint of Israel, the Archangel Michael
-- none of which makes any sense.

(Revelation 19:10) “10 At that I fell down before his feet to worship him. But he tells me: “Be careful! Do not do that! I am only a fellow slave of you and of your brothers who have the work of witnessing concerning Jesus. Worship God! For the witness concerning Jesus is what inspires prophecy.””
I'm not sure what your question is.
I do know Jehovah's Witnesses do not worship Jesus, we as the angel tells John, we Worship God!
I do know that since we do not worship Jesus we are not worshiping Michael either.
What witness work do we spread about Jesus?
(John 3:16) “16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.”
Who sent Jesus?
Who dies for mankind?
Can God die?
