salvation and strength, and <strong>the</strong> kingdom of our God<br />

and <strong>the</strong> power of His Christ; for <strong>the</strong> accuser of our<br />

brethren is cast down, which accused <strong>the</strong>m before<br />

our God day and night.”<br />

“Michael and His angels fought.” Michael is<br />

Christ. Three very simple scriptures will show us<br />

that. “Yet Michael <strong>the</strong> archangel, when contending<br />

with <strong>the</strong> devil, He disputed about <strong>the</strong> body of<br />

Moses, durst not bring against him a railing<br />

accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke <strong>the</strong>e.” Jude<br />

9. There we find that Michael is spoken of as <strong>the</strong><br />

archangel. And in Thessalonians Paul says, “For<br />

<strong>the</strong> Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a<br />

shout, with <strong>the</strong> voice of <strong>the</strong> archangel.” 1 Thess.<br />

4:16. The Lord Himself shall descend with <strong>the</strong><br />

voice of <strong>the</strong> archangel. But we read in John 5:25,<br />

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming<br />

and now is, when <strong>the</strong> dead shall hear <strong>the</strong> voice of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Son of God, ... and shall come forth.” Michael<br />

is <strong>the</strong> archangel; <strong>the</strong> Lord will descend with <strong>the</strong><br />

voice of <strong>the</strong> archangel; and it is <strong>the</strong> Lord’s voice<br />

that calls <strong>the</strong> dead from <strong>the</strong>ir tombs.<br />
