In the biblical account, a powerful angelic figure plays a significant role in God's plan of salvation. As recorded in Daniel 12:1, Michael is described as a protector of God's people, and in Jude 1:9, he is shown to be a leader among the angels, disputing with Satan over Moses' body. The book of Revelation portrays Michael as a warrior, leading the heavenly hosts in battle against the forces of evil, as seen in Revelation 12:7. Additionally, Daniel 10:13 mentions Michael as a prince who assists other angels in their duties, highlighting his importance in the spiritual realm.

Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
