Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H4317 מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el)

Usage: The name Μιχαήλ is used in the New Testament to refer to the archangel Michael, a prominent angelic figure in biblical texts.

Context: Μιχαήλ (Michael) is a significant figure in biblical literature, recognized as an archangel and a warrior in the service of God. His name, meaning "Who is like God?" reflects his role as a defender of God's sovereignty and a leader among the heavenly hosts. Michael is mentioned explicitly in the New Testament in the Book of Jude and the Book of Revelation.

In Jude 1:9, Michael is depicted as contending with the devil over the body of Moses, demonstrating his role as a protector and advocate for God's people. The verse states: "But even the archangel Michael, when he disputed with the devil over the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, 'The Lord rebuke you!'" (BSB). This passage highlights Michael's humility and reliance on God's authority rather than his own.

In Revelation 12:7, Michael is portrayed as a leader in the heavenly battle against the forces of evil: "Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back." (BSB). This depiction underscores Michael's role as a warrior and protector, leading the charge against Satan and his followers.

Michael's presence is also noted in the Old Testament, where he is described as a "great prince" who stands watch over the people of Israel (Daniel 12:1). This reinforces his role as a guardian and intercessor for God's chosen people.

The figure of Michael has been a source of inspiration and reverence throughout Christian history, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and the ultimate authority of God. His appearances in scripture serve as reminders of the spiritual battles that occur beyond human sight and the assurance of divine protection for those who remain faithful.
