Who Is Prince Michael?
This post may appear quite highly theological and broader in scope, because the setting begins in the prehistoric Bible times, in heaven, which few biblical contexts are less explicit, and an attempt towards post-biblical era, and beyond.
Nevertheless, thanks to the Gifts Of Prophecy of Ellen G. White, who, I believed, has a special mission from God. Despite having just a primary educational attainment, She wrote several volumes of books that exceeds above her height. To mention some of them, are: The Story Of Redemption, Steps To Christ, Desire Of Ages (which was awarded, The best book ever written about the life of Jesus Christ) The Great Controversy, Ministry Of Healing, so on, and so forth.

Of truth, as God's wayward children, separated by sin, its our moral obligation and responsibility to go back to Him, our Real Parent God who gave life to us. Thus, salvation and eternal life is only achieved by: KNOWING GOD, and THE SON whom He has sent (John 17:3)
So, lets begin to explore some of the grand, unlimited truths about our beloved parents:
1. He was God the Son who co-created the heavens, the earth, and man.
"And God said, Let us make man in Our image, after our likeness..." (Gen. 1:1- 26, 27)
2. He is One among the Godhead of the Three Persons-God.
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (1 John 5:7)
3. He was Christ the Son of God, whom Lucifer the king of angels (Archangel) envied, when, sin first conceived in Lucifer's heart. (EGW "The Story Of Redemption" Chap. 1- The Fall Of Lucifer;
"For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High." Isa. 14:13, 14)
4. He was the Michael who led His angels in the battle of heaven against the dragon Lucifer turned Satan and his angels, and cast them out into the earth.
"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
And prevailed not; neither was their place found anymore in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceived the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."(Rev. 12: 7-9)
5. He was the God Almighty who appeared to Moses in the Burning Bush; the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel; the Great "I AM". (Exo. 3: 4- 14)
"And I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. (Exo. 6:3)
6. He was the "Captain of the LORD'S host" who appeared to Joshua in the riverbank of Jordan. (Josh. 5: 13-15)
"... and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
And he said, Nay; but as Captain of the host of the LORD am I come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship..."
7. He was the JEHOVAH, the most high God over all the earth.
"That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth" (Psalm 83:18; Exo. 6:3)
8. He was the "WORD" from the beginning, who was with God and who is God. (John 1:1)
He was the "WORD" who became flesh, and dwelt among the people on the earth, the only begotten of God the Father (John 1:14)
9. He is the One whom Jesus prayed to the Father to be sent to bear His name that will speak not anymore in parable, but in plain words; the Comforter, that he may abide with you (us) forever (John 14:16; John 16:25)
10. He is the Holy Spirit God, whom the Father sends in Jesus' name, and teaches us all things; the Spirit of truth, which comes from the Father, and will testify of Christ. (John 14:26; John 15:26)
11. He is The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David who has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals;
He is the Lamb that "...as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes... " mentioned in Revelation chapter 5: 1-14.
"And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." (Rev. 5:5,6)
12. He is the GOD who personally established a kingdom "In the days of these kings", or in the last days, (and obviously, without a doubt, in our days today) which was mentioned in advance or prophesied in The book of Daniel chapter 2 : 44 -
"And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it stands for ever."
13. He is Michael, the Great Prince, who will stand up to deliver God's people in the end time, during the Time Of Trouble, mentioned in the book of Daniel chapter 12:1.
"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the Great Prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that be found written in the book."
14. He is the Son who is given to us, in Isaiah 9: 6 - "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, counsellor; The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
The above enumerated partial facts, are each one, a potential chapter or a book to develop. With all the key phrases above in our attempts to just pip towards the eternal truth of GOD, let us therefore be challenged to go all-in, and seriously launch our happy sincere journey towards eternity.
Our Real Daddy anxiously awaits you there.
Godspeed!!!
