Subject: Do you yet say that Jesus was just a man |
Bible Note: Daniel 10:13 was written before Jesus came to earth and before he received "all authority in heaven and on earth." Daniel 12:1 during "the time of the end" calls him "the great prince." (Isaiah 9:6) Further, during the time of the end, Michael has angels: "Michael and HIS angels." 2 Thessalonians 1:7 says: "The Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with HIS powerful angels." This links with the unprecendented "time of distress" of Daniel 12:1. Of course, as I mentioned in Revelation 19:16, it would be easy for Michael to be stronger than all earthly kings since the superhuman Satan and his angels were "not strong enough" to defeat him. We can hardly compare Michael's 'not daring condemn the devil with insulting words regarding a dispute' with "Go away Satan!" who wanted Jesus to worship him! "The Lord himself will come down from heaven: 1) with a loud command, 2) with the voice of an archangel and 3) with the trumpet call of God." So, the voice expressing Jesus' "loud command" should logically be described by a word that would not diminish or detract from someone who has "all authority in heaven and on earth." It would be like describing the President as 'commanding' with the voice of a Vice-President. Stokey |
