Bible Note: This is from (www.signministries.org), they can explain it better then I can. A) Michael 1. Guardian of Israel Daniel informs us that the angel Michael is the prince of the Jewish people (Dan. 10:21; 12:1). In the 12th chapter, his role seems to be that of protector or guardian of the Jews. From the reference in 12:1 we also learn that the "time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time" comes upon the Jewish people following Michael's "arising", or withdrawal of his protection. 2. The Restrainer The apostle Paul tells us in II Thessalonians 2: 6-7 of a restrainer who will hold back the intentions/efforts of "the man of lawlessness" until itÕs time for his revealing and the subsequent prophesied Day of the Lord. The restrainer can only be Michael the archangel, Israel's prince, who stands guard over Israel as well as the spiritual kingdom of God, Old and New Testament alike. Satan will not have complete freedom to persecute Israel or the church in general - through Antichrist - until Michael's restraint is removed, permitting the purge of Israel foretold by God through His prophets, and the "fiery testing" of the church foretold by the Apostles of Christ in the New Testament. Contrary to much popular interpretation, there is no scriptural basis for identifying the restrainer either as the Holy Spirit or as the church. On the other hand, Michael is called by Daniel the one who "stands firmly against" or "restrains." The word for "arise" in Daniel 12:1 in the Hebrew is 'amad' and it means to "stand up or stand still". The Midrash (1st Century Jewish commentary of the Old Testament) says of this verse, "The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to Michael, 'You are silent? You do not defend my children'". (ca. II Sam. 2:28; II Kings 4:6 for other uses of 'amad') You are far better at the Heb. then I am. You are taxing this old man pretty good, but don't quit! CDBJ |
