Hello John and Doves,
Nothing will happen to Israel
outside of God's will. The angels of God have
been very busy with all that's going on in the Middle
East. They are actively doing God's bidding.
And Michael is the protector of
Israel. The protector of the people of Daniel.
Daniel tells us of a time at the
end when Michael will stand up - "the great prince who
stands watch over the children of they 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 they people shall be
delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the
book." Daniel 12:1
I was interested in learning more
about this angel Michael - and found that he is the
only angel that the Bible refers to as an
'archangel'. "The Greek word for
"archangel" (archaggelos) means "chief angel" or
"chief messenger"." In Hebrew he is the "great
captain", "the great prince" or "the great chief" -
'haggadol hassar'
In the Old Testament he is one of
the chief princes - so there are others. (Daniel
10:13) In Daniel we also learned about the
prince of Persia and the prince of Greece (Daniel
10:20) - these are evil angels.
Michael is also the angel or great
prince who stands guard over Daniels' people. (Daniel
12:1)
And it was Michael who disputed
with Satan over Moses' body. (Jude 1:9) It was
in this verse we read the only words spoken by Michael
(that were recorded) - Michael said "The Lord rebuke
thee."
I looked up 'rebuke' - rebuke as
"reprimand" or "scold" just doesn't fit Michael's
words to satan. Rebuke can also mean "to hack
down" or "beat back", "censure severely or angrily",
"trounce", "spurn", "haul over the coals", "to
give a thrashing", "lambaste", That's more like
it.
In the Revelation we are told about
a war in heaven, between the devil and his demonic
army and Michael and his angels. Michael and his
angels kick the devil and his forces out of heaven
down to the earth. (Revelation 12:7-9)
Michael is a warrior - a military commander of angels.
It was Michael who helped the
angel that appeared to Daniel - the angel was delayed
by the "prince of Persia" for 21 days. After
meeting with Daniel this angel said he had to return
to fighting this "prince of Persia" and the "prince of
Greece" will come. (Daniel 10:21)
And maybe it was the angel Michael
that God sent in Exodus 23:20: "Behold, I send
an angel before you, to guard you on the way and to
bring you to the place which I have prepared."
When the world is "teetering on
Armageddon"..."this angelic being Michael shows
up." In Daniel 12, we learn that in the end
times, "these last days of the Tribulation, he's still
fighting. Michael stands up to protect God's
people."
"The Archangel Michael serves God
in his job as head of the Lord's army, but he also is
the main angel tasked in protecting Israel.
Michael is the strongest of the angels that we know
of, and interestingly, he is the one whom God sends to
protect Israel."

So in the last days of the
Tribulation, Israel's protector - Michael comes to
fight.
The world is full of these angelic
beings that we cannot see..but they are here to doing
God's will. Fighting the minions and hordes of
satan. Helping us our journey to Heaven.
This is a comforting thought for us.
And to know that THAT great angel,
Michael, the protector of Israel, will soon
show up to fight against the demonic hordes of satan
that would destroy Israel, the Jewish people and the
world - well, that's just an amazing gift from
God! He is sending Michael!! - the Jewish people
will have their protector fight for them.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
