- "Apocalyptic literature uses in-house code language which, it seems, was
quite intelligible for believers in time of oppression. So think of the name Michael
itself as such a code word. Mi-cha-el is, in fact, an entire sentence in Hebrew. It is
literally the question: Who (is) like God? And, of course, to that question first century
Christians had one clear answer, Jesus the Christ. So Michael and his angels (=messengers)
are none other than Christ and his church."
