I would answer that Jesus is described as “the lamb that was slain from the foundation of the earth” because the plan of salvation was conceived before the earth was even made. God knew from the beginning that the Son would need to be the sacrifice for fallen man. A lamb because it references the sacrificial system and because a lamb is innocent. The foundation of the world because God knew from the beginning what would have to happen. Using that description doesn’t prevent any other descriptions being applied to Christ.
Michael being Jesus is alluded to, but not outright stated likely because it isn’t that important from a salvational standpoint. This doesn’t change that there’s plenty of scripture alluding to it. The argument isn’t just that Michael is the leader of the angels, therefore he must be God, it’s that the language used in the Bible makes perfect sense if Michael is just another name Jesus has in heaven.
…Michael, your ruler… Daniel 10:21
Michael is referred to as the ruler of Gods people in Daniel 10:21. That can’t be so unless he is God.
At the end of Daniel, when talking about the second coming, the angel speaking to Daniel says:
And at that time shal Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people…. Daniel 12:1
Later in the Bible when the same event is described, it is Jesus who stands up.
In Jude 9 we have Michael arguing over the body of Moses with Satan. Only Jesus has authority over salvational status and wether or not somebody lives or dies with the devil.
Elsewhere, we see the term “archangel” applied to Christ:
The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel. 1 Thessalonians 4:16
We can also see the term angel be applied to God in the Bible. For example:
The angel who redeemed me from all evil… Genesis 48:16
Here, Israel is blessing Joseph and uses the term angel to describe God. Angels can’t redeem you, only Christ can. This use of the word must not be referring to an angel that is a created being like the rest of the angels.
Again in Exodus, Jesus is referred to as an angel:
…and the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire… Exodus 3:2
The term “angel” is sometimes used to describe God.
The name Michael translates to “He that is what God is” so Archangel Michael can loosely translate to “God, the leader of the angels”. Later His name would be Emmanuel: “God with us” and when He actually came it was Yahushua: “YAWEH the savior”. The name tells you who it is and can change based on circumstance or if a particular point is being made.
If you want extra-biblical texts, even high level occultists like Helena Blavatsky when explaining how the occult inverts the story to make God the devil and the devil God states that Michael and his army are inverted to become Satan and the fallen angels in Secret Doctrine 1 p.418
She goes on to iterate plainly that they also believe Michael is Jesus when she states:
“…that Michael being simply Jehovah himself” Secret Doctrine 2 p. 508
There are many allusions in scripture and outside of it that would suggest Michael is just Jesus.
Also, I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t insult me for trying to engage in earnest study of the scriptures. It’s never a waste of time. I am extremely busy with my work but I make time for things like this because I am called to do it as a service to God and I want to help others come to Him. The war against good and evil is the ultimate conspiracy and I am trying to bring the people that go to sites like this out of spiritualism. I don’t address everything because I have to respond to these posts from my phone in between the various other things I have to do. I am insulted you would think I care about something as worthless as upvotes on a computer. If I wanted upvotes or positive attention, there are plenty of satanic or heretical topics I could cover but I’m not here for that. Utter nonsense.
