What is an Angel?
Revelation 22:16 ASV — I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.
The bride is the angel sent to witness to the churches, the bride is not the church…
Hebrews 13:2 ASV — Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Strong’s G32:
Angel - Messenger
What is a Spirit?
Revelation 22:17 ASV — And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he that heareth, let him say, Come. And he that is athirst, let him come: he that will, let him take the water of life freely.
Strong's G4151:
Spirit - Power of knowing A. life-giving spirit; C. an angel
(Note: C ii. - highest of angels, but not equal to God...Mighty in nature, not the Almighty)
1 Corinthians 15:45 ASV — So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Strong's G4151:
Spirit - Life, Angel
John 3:8 ASV — The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Third Heaven…
2 Corinthians 12:1-4 ASV — I must needs glory, though it is not expedient; but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven. And I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I know not; God knoweth), how that he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Who is the Son of Man?
Matthew 12:8 ASV — For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
Daniel 10:1-3 ASV — In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a great warfare: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
21 days with no bread, wine or oil.
Daniel 10:4 ASV — And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
Vision of Michael...man clothed in linen
Daniel 10:5-6 ASV — I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz: his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like unto burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Strong’s H8658: Beryl – precious “stone” or semi-precious gem.
Jesus Christ ~ son of man...
Revelation 1:13-15 ASV — and in the midst of the candlesticks one like unto a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle. And his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters.
In comparison with both scriptures above, the description of Michael and Jesus Christ are similar, one and the same...but, let’s continue further.
Daniel 10:7-9 ASV — And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves. So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
An un-named angel touches Daniel...
Daniel 10:10 -12 ASV — And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. And he said unto me, O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard: and I am come for thy words’ sake.
Look, Michael...likeness of "sons" of men (one of the chief princes - archangels)
Daniel 10:13-15 ASV — But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days. And when he had spoken unto me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.
The Angel is called lord and touches Daniel's lips...appearance of "sons" of men...
Daniel 10:16 - 17 ASV — And, behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I retain no strength. For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me.
The above verses show that there is more than one, son of man ("sons" of men).
Strong's H1121:
Son - children (male or female)
Strong's H120:
Man - mankind, human being
Genesis 1:26 ASV — And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:27 ASV — And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Strong's H430:
God - divine ones, angels, mighty, godlike one
Daniel 10:18 - 20 ASV — Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me. And he said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he spake unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come.
Daniel 10:21 ASV — But I will tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me against these, but Michael your prince.
John 14:6 ASV — Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
There are two angel’s referenced here, Michael: in appearance of sons of men; and the un-named angel: in appearance of a man. Michael is the only prince to hold together with the un-named angel when going forward to Greece.
Michael is distinct in that he appears, not in the likeness of men, but as “one” of the sons of men. This also shows there’s more than “one” son of man. The un-named angel here, has the appearance of a man, not the son of man. I don’t think anyone denies that Jesus Christ is the Son of man. It's important to note that in verse 21, it is Michael who goes to the Greeks (Gentiles) none other, with the un-named angel.
Above I shared scripture on the resemblance of Michael and Jesus Christ, in the following posts I will share scriptures that will show a how Michael resembles Jehovah God and why he is called a Mighty God.
Son of Man ~ Spirit ~ Angel... Hallelujah
Son of Man ~ Spirit ~ Angel...Mighty God
May Jehovah, through Jesus Christ bring you…
~ Peace, Love and Joy ~
