What miracles did Saint Michael the archangel perform?

Answer 1

The archangel Michael is mentioned as contending with the devil in Jude 1:9, and in Revelation 12:7-8, Michael and some allied angels actually fought and defeated the 'dragon' and his angels. This war, taking place in heaven, must constitute a miracle in the broader sense of the word.

Our understanding of God has varied over the centuries and according to context. At times, angels are God's allies against evil, as Michael is in Jude and Revelation. At other times, God is absolutely omniscient and omnipotent and therefore has no possible need of messengers or allies. For example, how could there be a war in heaven if God could wipe out his opponents in an instant? Or, in this understanding of God, why would he need an angel to perform miracles that he could perform instantly on his own? This helps demonstrate that angels are the product of the human imagination and therefore that Michael never fought a war in heaven or performed any other miracle on God's behalf.

Answer 2

Michael is an archangel, who is only mentioned by name in the Old Testament in the Persian context of the post-Exilic Book of Daniel. According to Rabbi Simeon ben Lakish (230-270 CE), all the specific names for the angels were brought back by the Jews from Babylon, and many modern commentators would assent. Some believe that Michael was the Jewish version of the Zoroastrian Mithras. According to rabbinic Jewish tradition, Michael acted as the advocate of Israel, and sometimes had to fight with the princes of the other nations. The idea that Michael was the advocate of the Jews became so prevalent that in spite of the rabbinical prohibition against appealing to angels as intermediaries between God and His people, Michael came to occupy a certain place in the Jewish liturgy. Much of the late Midrash detail about Michael was transmitted to Christian mythology through the Book of Enoch whence it was taken up and further elaborated. In Christian belief, Michael is the prince who fights with the devil.

Answer 3

"Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven (Revelation 12: 7,8)."

"Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke you (Jude 1:9)!"

"At that time Michael shall stand up,The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book (Daniel 12:1)."

"Then the angel of the LORD went out, and killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when people arose early in the morning, there were the corpses-all dead. So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went away, returned home, and remained at Nineveh (Isaiah 37: 36, 37)."

In the last verses, the angel mentioned is traditionally known as Michael (which means: Like unto the Lord). It is said that the Angel Michael drew his sword slightly from its sheath, causing the Assyrian troops to fall dead.

There are many Christian and Judaic traditions concerning the history and miracles performed by the archangel Michael. In the Orthodox Christian Churches, there are feasts (holy days) attributed to the archangel Michael.

Answer 4

This answer will, I have no doubt, be accepted by only a few, it is none the less true.

Michael the Arch Angel was the head angel. It was he and his angels who fought(A battle of words) with Satan and cast him out of heaven.

Michael was with Christ and others who helped form the earth. Some will argue that God did this but we must remember that all power was put into the hands of Christ to act in the Fathers name. Now this will have to be accepted in faith, Michael is Adam, sent to earth to be the first man.It was only through prayer that I learned this truth. I also bare testimony to the thruth of what I have said.

Answer 5

As a spiritually created being, Michael's 'life' is eternal.

In Jude 9, Michael is called an archangel (chief angel).
In Daniel 12:1, Michael is called the Prince and Guardian of God's people.
In Revelation 12:7-9, Michael is the Commander of God's Army in the final future battle at the end of days.
