Correct my fault (4 times is Michael mentioned in scripture)
[SIZE=12pt]Michael is called “the prince of thy people [ Israel] in the book of Daniel:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy 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 thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]In Dan 10 Christ tells Daniel that Michael had come to help Him withstand the prince of Persia, so Christ could come and show Daniel what would befall Israel in the latter days:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Dan 10:14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]“The latter days” are right now, and the latter days come at this time only upon those who are in Christ.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]1Co 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world [ aions] are come.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Apparently Michael is “One of the chief princes" an archangel through whom Christ works with His elect. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] Is Michael the only angel whose name we are given? No, he is not. Another angel who is sent to reveal God’s will is named Gabriel.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy 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 thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Gabriel was sent to cause Daniel to understand the vision of the two- horned ram being attacked by the he- goat with one horn which horn was broken and replaced by four lesser horns out of which came a little horn which became great and caused the daily sacrifice to be taken away and cast down. Gabriel appears again in the next chapter of Daniel where he is again sent to “give Daniel skill and understanding of the vision of the seventy weeks prophecy which leads again to the casting down of the daily sacrifice and to the same abomination of desolation. Gabriel causes Daniel to see that the visions “are one” (Gen 41:26).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Dan 8:15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Dan 8:16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Those who are “greatly loved” are given to understand the mind and words of God.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]We learn more about Gabriel’s function in the invisible realm of the spirit in Luk 1, where he is once more sent to make Zacharias, the father of John the baptist “and show Zacharias glad tidings".[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Dan 9:21 Yea, whiles I [ was] speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
Dan 9:22 And he informed [ me], and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
Dan 9:23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]The last time Gabriel is mentioned is in this same first chapter of Luke where he is sent to inform Mary of the impending birth of Christ.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Luk 1:18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
Luk 1:19 And the angel answering said unto him[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt], I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]It is Gabriel who is sent to “give skill and understanding”, whereas Michael is the archangel who “stands up for and fights for Israel". Both Angels of the Lord.[/SIZE]
