I found an article on the Internet the I found interesting. In Hebrew, the name Michael means “Who is like God?” and it is said that this name is used by the other angels as a battle cry when fighting the enemy Satan. It is believed that Michael is the prince of all the other Angels. He has been invoked as the patron and protector of the Church since the time of the apostles. Michael is mentioned four times in the Scriptures: In Daniel 10:12 he is referred to as “one of the chief princes;” In Daniel 12, concerning the end of the world it says “at that time Michael the prince shall rise up and fight for the people;” In the Epistle of Jude, verse 9, we read “Even the Archangel Michael, when his case was being judged” (this is a reference to an ancient non-biblical account of a dispute between Michael and Satan); In Revelation 12:7-9 we have the story of the great battle in heaven between Michael with his angels and the dragon who is Satan; these verses read: “Then a war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. Although the dragon and his angels fought back, they were overpowered and lost their place in heaven. The huge dragon, the ancient serpent known as the devil or Satan, the seducer of the whole world, was driven out; he was hurled down to earth and his minions with him” (NAB). Many non-scriptural references have been made about the Archangel Michael throughout history by different peoples and cultures; even today he venerated by Jewish, Christian and Islamic people.
