Subject: Power of Michael the Archangel? |
Bible Note: Brian, And war occurred in Heaven, Michael and his angels making war against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels made war, but they did not have strength, nor yet was place found for them in Heaven. Rev 12:7-8 J.P. Green's Literal Translation '3. "They did not have strength" pertains to Satan. That is, he and his angels were not strong enough to prevent Michael and his angels from carrying out their orders to cast Satan out of highest heavens. (www.revelationcommentary.org/12_chapter.html) If Michael is weaker than Satan, then how is it that Satan and his angels were not strong enough to prevent Michael and his angels from carrying out their orders to cast Satan out of highest heavens? What is your scriptural evidence to support the assertion that Michael is weaker than Satan? Is there a clear verse of Scripture which plainly says that? If so, please give us the book, chapter and verse where it says that. Grace to you, John |
