Lets take a look at the book of Jude:
3Beloved,
although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I
found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith
that was once for all delivered to the saints.
4For
certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for
this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God
into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who savedc a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
*notice it does not say that the Father saved them,
it does not say that Michael saved them,
but it says Jesus, Jesus saved them.

6And
the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but
left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy
darkness until the judgment of the great day—
7just
as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise
indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire,d serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
8Yet
in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the
flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones.9But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.”
*Let's compare this to verse 4. Verse 4 says that Jesus is our only Lord.
Now Michael is acknowledging that Jesus has more authority than he.
In Revelation 22:16 who sent the angel to the congregations? In verse 6, who sent the angel?
