Who is Michael in the Book of Daniel?

What name did Jesus have before being GIVEN the name "Jesus" when he came to earth?

To understand this issue, one must understand what an angel is in the FIRST place!

Angel in Hebrew means simply "Messenger"- thus the elders of the congregations addressed in Revelation (Chapter 2) are referred to as- you guessed it- angels!

Jesus was himself an ANGEL - the greatest messenger (angel) of all time! 

Mal 3:1- "Behold, I send my messenger to prepare the way before me, and Jehovah whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; the ANGEL of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says Jehovah of hosts. 2- But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears?"

Michael is described with the authority that only Christ is shown  to have. The confrontation with Satan over Moses body (Jude 9)  was long before Jesus was given the HIGHEST authority of his  Father (after his death & resurrection)- AND before the Son of God  was GIVEN the name "JESUS"!

Daniel 12:1- refers to Michael standing up for God's people at  the time of the end during the Great Tribulation, as Christ later REVEALED HE HIMSELF WOULD DO! "Jesus the Son of  God" WAS COMPLETELY UNKNOWN TO GOD'S PEOPLE (Israel) at that time.

Then comes the further revelations thru the inspired Christian records: 

Paul at 1 Thess 4:16 tell us Christ acts with the voice (authority) OF THE ARCHANGEL- and he's LEADING an army of angels   (2 Thess1:9)! That authority wasn't given to him by an archangel! That authority was straight from God Himself- the authority/ voice of the Angels' Leader was Christ- he IS the Archangel. Finally, 

The name! Michael means, in Hebrew, "Who Is Like God?" Even  tho men on Earth have been given that name- ONLY ONE PERSON ANYWHERE is TRULY LIKE God...Guess who?! Bingo! 

 JESUS is the ONLY one!!! You know the scriptures! 

God inspired John to refer to Jesus by his original name, Michael, in Revelation to verify that Daniel's prophecy of Michael protecting God's people- would still take place!

Jesus is indisputably the one who leads God's angels at this time (Last Days)- and that is what the title "Archangel" means!

Part of the Truth, with the rest ignorance...

As Christ in the Great Tribulation!

And consider Jesus is an ANGEL (Messenger of God)~

Mal 3:1- "Behold, I send my messenger to prepare the way before me, and Jehovah whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; the ANGEL of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says Jehovah of hosts. 2- But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears?"

1 Thess 4:16-For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. -KJV

C Mc writes: "Michael is said to be opposing the Prince of Persia (שׂר מלכות פּרס) in Dan 10:13, which is similar to his role of opposing the devil in the NT (Jude 9, Rev 12:7). Within the Book of Daniel, there is also an indication of a type of hierarchy within the celestial sphere. There is a mention of שׂר־הצבא, “the Prince of the Host” (Dan 8:11), [“prince of princes” in Dan 8:25].

Michael is described variously as one of the chief princes” (or “the first of the chief princes,” [אחד for the ordinal number “first.”] Dan“ אחד השׂרים הראשׁנים .)12:1 the great prince” (Dan“ ,השׂר הגדול your prince” (Dan 10:21), and“ ,שׂרכם , )10:13 While these descriptions of Michael are new to the Hebrew Bible, the terminology “Prince of the Host” is not. This title is used in Josh 5 by a mysterious being who is called שׂר־צבא יהוה, “Prince of the Host of YHWH” (Josh 5:14), thus implying that these beings in Joshua and Daniel are one and the same (Daniel 8:11 and 10:5)."

"During that time {Jesus Christ} will stand up, the Great Prince who is standing in behalf of your people. And there will occur a time of distress such as has not occurred since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written down in the book. And many of those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up, some to everlasting life and others to reproach and to everlasting contempt." (Daniel 12:1-2)

C Mc writes: Literally, it means "Who is like God" or "Who is as God". 

The very name Michael draws attention to His equality with God.

Well, he was Begotten by Jehovah who Always existed before the Son came to "to be" (eimi) so the Son came into existence.

Jesus Christ's words were written down for all to see at (John 3:16) If you would like to read about Christ's Pre- human existence. Read Proverbs Chatter 8.

Awesome..... there are many things I desire to share with you. I'll name just a few since my comments are in agreement with some of your statements about Michael. Many things you say are in the meaning of Beginning. John 1:1 is speaking about the starting point. A time earlier than the earth. Begotten means "brought forth". It's an action not needed for something or someone who already existed.

Look and See and gain understanding.

Wisdom at Creation

22 "Yahweh possessed me, [the] first of his ways, before his acts {of old}.  23 From eternity, I was set up from [the] first, from the beginning of the earth.  24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth, when there were no springs of {abounding} water.  25 Before mountains had been shaped, before hills, I was brought forth.  26 When HE had not yet made earth and fields, or the first dust of the world,  27 {when he established} the heavens, there I [was], {when he drew} a circle upon the face of the deep,  28 {when he made} skies from above, when he founded fountains of the deep,  29 {when he assigned} his limits to the sea, that waters shall not transgress his {command}, {when he marked} the foundations of the earth,  30 I was {beside} him, a master workman, and I was delighting day by day, rejoicing before him {always},  31 rejoicing in the world of HIS earth, and my delight [was] with the children of humankind.

There are two Names that have the (?) in their meanings. It is a statement in the form of a question.

-- Michael "Who is Like God?

-- Immanuel "With us is God?"

So the truth of the matter is Isaiah 9:6 is speaking about Michael, the one who is coming into the world and was given the Name (Jesus). (Philippians 2:6-11)

John 1;1 is speaking about this person when it states, "In the Beginning was the Word" The Word defends Jehovah's Sovereignty and asks to be glorified and announces in public prayer to the Father that you are the only true God in (John 17:-3)

I didn't ask specifically about your confidence regarding the gender of the noun. I asked specifically about your confidence regarding the species of the being to which the noun refers. On what basis do you have confidence that by his use of the female term "חָכְמָה," the author of Proverbs 8 intends to refer to a human being?

The male pronoun "him" in Proverbs 8.30 does NOT refer to wisdom, but rather to Jahweh, next to whom wisdom - who is the passage's narrator (e.g. Proverbs 8.12) - claims to have stood, delighted, and rejoiced. In my view, then, Proverbs 8.30 proves nothing about the gender of wisdom.

Clearly my question still stands, as do the numerous other questions I've posed to you in the last week, all but one of which you seem to have refused even to mention, let alone address.

If you don't want to answer questions about your views - which, from your refusal to engage them, certainly SEEMS to be the case - simply say so and I'll stop asking.

@C Mc Michael is also "the great prince." The use of the article indicates that there is only one "great" prince. It expresses a quality of extraordinariness about Michael, distinguishing him from other heavenly intermediaries between God and man. Michael is a prince without a peer. The designation by which Michael is described in Dan 12:1 goes far beyond those used to describe any other OT angelic figures. The focus is always upon God, the One in authority, based on whose command the angels act and carry out His will. 

Agreed. "During that time {Jesus Christ} will stand up, the Great Prince who is standing in behalf of your people. And there will occur a time of distress such as has not occurred since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written down in the book.? (Daniel 12:1)

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus," (1 Timothy 2:5)

• "there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him." (1 Corinthians 8:6)
• For a child has been born to us, a son has been given to us; And the rulership will rest on his shoulder. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6)
• Michael whose name means "Who is Like God?" Was in God's Form, emptied himself and took a slave’s form and became human, was given the Name to the Glory of God the Father.
• "Keep this mental attitude in you that was also in Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and became human. More than that, when he came as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, yes, death on a torture stake. For this very reason, God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the Name that is above every other name, so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend—of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground— and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:5:11)

I don't find the argument you compiled from your various sources particularly coherent, let alone compelling, so my "skeptism" [sic] remains intact.
