Ellen Chat Conversation

Ellen White clearly identified Michael the Archangel as Christ Himself. She wrote that when Gabriel came with a message to Daniel, he said, "There is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael [Christ] your Prince" (DA 99.1). This direct identification shows that Michael is not merely an angel, but is actually Jesus Christ. The name "Michael" appears in contexts that reveal His divine authority and role. In the book of Jude, Ellen White pointed to Christ's example when "Michael the Archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee" (19MR 106.2). This passage demonstrates both Christ's authority over Satan and His restraint in dealing with evil. Ellen White also described Michael's role in the great controversy between good and evil. She explained that "for three weeks Gabriel wrestled with the powers of darkness, seeking to counteract the influences at work on the mind of Cyrus; and before the contest closed, Christ Himself came to Gabriel's aid" (PK 571.2). Gabriel declared, "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" (PK 571.2). This shows Michael/Christ actively working to protect God's people and advance His purposes on earth. The title "Archangel" is connected to Christ's second coming. Ellen White referenced the promise that "the voice of the Archangel and the trump of God would reach the sleeping ones, and the dead in Christ should rise first" (AA 258.2). This voice of the Archangel is the voice of Christ Himself calling forth the righteous dead at His return. --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:** • What role does Christ play in the great controversy between good and evil? • How does Ellen White describe the relationship between Christ and the angels? • What does Ellen White say about Christ's authority over Satan? --- 📚 **thousands of passages found** containing these search terms — [Explore in Full-Text Search](/advanced-search?q=Who+was+the+archangel+michael%3F)
