Who is Michael the Archangel?

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Michael the Archangel is the only begotten Son of God, creator and Lord of all.

Let's examine this belief in light of the scriptures.

Daniel 10:13 calls Michael "one of the chief princes". God's only Son- one of a group of princes?

Is Michael the Archangel an angel? One of God's angels?

After you answer that question,

Read through Hebrews 1:

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,

“You are my Son,

today I have begotten you”?

Or again,

“I will be to him a father,

and he shall be to me a son”?

6 And again, when he brings othe firstborn into the world, he says,

p“Let all God's angels worship him.”

7 Of the angels he says,

q“He makes his angels winds,

and his ministers a flame of fire.”

8 But of the Son he says,

r“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,

the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.

9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;

therefore God, your God, has anointed you

with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”

10 And,

u“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,

and the heavens are the work of your hands;

11 they will perish, but you remain;

they will all wear out like a garment,

12 like a robe you will roll them up,

like a garment they will be changed.1

But you are vthe same,

and your years will have no end.”

I have left the cross references in for a reason, so that you may take a look at those scriptures as well. Take your time, then read Hebrews 1 and 2 all the way through. May your search be blessed.

13 And to which of the angels has he ever said,

“Sit at my right hand

until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?
