How do I join ranks with Michael the chief angel ?

Michael is an angel, God sends him as a representative. My guess is, given the nature of his name, he is The Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament.

I do not believe Michael and Jesus to be one and the same. The angels are commanded to worship Jesus, therefore Jesus is divine (God).

We learn, through Jesus Christ, that he is the image of the invisible God. God is Spirit, and Jesus would be the incarnation of that, yet both exist at the same time, or one or the other, either way it's meaningless, Jesus is God.

From what I understand, Michael is a chief prince, an archangel (there are at least 7 from what I know).

Of all the heavenly host that can war against satan, only he and Gabriel are strong enough.

Think about it, Jesus comes in his own name. Michael would come in whose name? The Lord's (Jesus'). If Michael came in Michael's name, that mean's nothing. In fact, "EL", in his name means "ELOHIM" (God).

So Michael comes in Elohim's name, or the Lord's name (el).

Jesus just comes as himself in his own name because he is Lord, God, and King.

What wickedness are you talking about?

It sounds like you intend to impose "that" wickedness is of human origin.

If you want to join Michael, know this,

Ephesians 6:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

So how should we live?

With thanksgiving,

5) Isaiah 12:4-5
And you will say in that day: “Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted. “Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth.

8) 1 Timothy 4:4-5
For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with gratitude; for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.


With seeking,

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

What is His Kingdom?

Us.

What is his righteousness? First and foremost, it is Jesus. And He is our breastplate in battle.

The righteousness Jesus spoke of is the fruit of the Spirit,

Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.


Our righteousness is also tied into our faith, which is actually not of human origin, but gifted to man from God through the prophets.

Galatians 3:11
11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”


Not sure if anything that I'm typing is worthwhile. I just sort of stemmed from your assumption that wickedness is of human origin.

Our struggle is not against flesh and blood.

Your logic is convoluted and puzzling. But, that's OK. I don't care to argue.

My suggestion of researching the name was made in good will.
Several of my friends, Christians and biblical scholars; have discovered this through reexamination of some of their assumptions regarding persons mentioned in the bible.

But, you will find out later. Peace.

Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus Christ was Archangel Michael incarnate.

///////////////////

the words of Jesus Christ:

I will command My chief Archangel, the holy Michael, and he shall blow a blast on his trumpet in the Valley of Jehosaphat, that those who are dead may arise incorruptible, and there shall not remain upon the earth one soul that shall not rise up, from Adam the first man even unto the last man that shall be born into the world.

I will command Abbatôn, the Angel of Death, to come unto thee on that day, and he shall not be in any form that will terrify thee, but he shall come unto thee in the form of a gentle man, with a face like unto that of Michael, and he shall take away thy soul and bring it unto Me.

I shall say unto you in that day, "O My holy Apostles, and all My saints, whether ye be angels or archangels, or whether ye be prophets or righteous, and especially My Virgin Mother, and My chief Archangels Michael and Gabriel, I speak unto you, saying: No man who shall celebrate your commemoration upon earth, or shall give a loaf of bread in your name shall go to destruction."
