Is Jesus Michael the archangel?
.
Angels
worship Jesus, no angel is ever worshiped in Scripture; therefore, Jesus
(worthy of worship) cannot be Michael or any other angel (not worthy of
worship). The angels are called sons of God but Jesus is THE Son of God. Michael the archangel, is
only an angel - he is not God - Jesus is God incarnate.

Jesus is not Michael the archangel.
The
Bible nowhere identifies Jesus as Michael (or any other angel, for that
matter).
Hebrews 1:5-8 draws
a clear distinction between Jesus and the angels: “For to which of the
angels did God ever say, ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father’?
”Or again, ‘I will be His Father, and He will be my Son’? And
again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says, ‘Let all God’s
angels worship Him.’
“In speaking of the angels He says, ‘He makes his angels winds,
his servants flames of fire.’
”But about the Son He says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last
forever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.’”
No
angel is ever worshiped in Scripture; therefore, Jesus (worthy of worship)
cannot be Michael or any other angel (not worthy of worship).
The
angels are called sons of God (Genesis 6:2-4; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7), but Jesus is THE Son of
God (Hebrews 1:8; Matthew 4:3-6).
Michael the archangel is perhaps the highest of all the angels.

Michael
the archangel, though, is only an angel. He is not God.
The
clear distinction in the power and authority of Michael and Jesus can be seen
in comparing Matthew 4:10 where
Jesus rebukes Satan, and Jude verse 9, where Michael the archangel “dared
not bring a judgment of blasphemy” against Satan and calls on the Lord to
rebuke him.
Jesus
is God incarnate (John 1:1, 14).
Michael
the archangel is a powerful angel, but still only an angel.
