Angel in Revelation.

[Sammy-San]

Revelation 20:2 He seized the dragon—that old serpent, who is the devil, Satan—and bound him in chains for a thousand years.

Is that verse a reference to Jesus, as some speculate, or possibly Michael?

 

[danstribe]

I think it's referring to Michael.

 

[Sammy-San]

I think it's referring to Michael.

Bibical or speculation?

 

[Pilgrim]

Verse 1 says he is an angel...

Revelation 20:1-2

1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven,
having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in

his hand.​

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent,
which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him

a thousand years,​

 

[com7fy8]

It says it was an angel; so Jesus is not who it is. And it does not say which angel. I think this could mean that any holy angel can easily get rid of any evil being.

Bibical or speculation?

I think biblical because that's the "impression" I get when reading the chapter. So that could be speculation too

Yes! And it being Michael maybe because he said he is the only one who stands for God's people against the prince? Something like that.

I think there are other angels who stand with Jesus now. I think of the angel in the garden who strengthened Jesus > Luke 22:43.

I think so to, I think after Christ came that many angels were assigned to churches and people.

How would you respond to those who say he is Jesus? Not those who say Jesus isn't divine-but that Michael is a title for Jesus (supreme messenger).

There are different terms which have been used to represent Jesus, including Lamb. So, I can see it is possible that "Michael" could be used to mean how Jesus is obedient to our Father. But it would not at all mean Jesus is an angel > Hebrews 1:5-14.

Something like this: In Jude 1:9 He is called Michael the archangel, Daniel 10:21 he is called Michael your prince, Daniel 10:13 he is called Michael, one of the chief princes. Where is Jesus called our prince? Or how can Jesus be one of the chief princes?

Does chief princes mean archangels?

 

[danstribe]

Does chief princes mean archangels?

I think it does since he is called an archangel.
