Michael Bible
St. Michael the Archangel in the Bible?
I'm a Cradle Catholic and I believe in the traditions of the Catholic Church fully but my knowledge of traditions and scripture are somewhat mixed. My mother was Baptist and my dad was Lutheran. Both were taught about St. Michael the Archangel and the great battle in Heaven with Satan. I've been looking into it and I can't find it in the Bible. I was wondering if the story was a Catholic tradition.
But the battle in Revelations is not clear whether it is past, present, or future. The story clearly takes place before the fall of man.
The story is not in the Bible but is related in an apocryphyal book of the Old Testament (it's not in the Christian Old Testament) called the Book of Enoch that tells a bunch of dramatic stories about angels, including the war in heaven. Although angelology is not really that apparent in the Bible, it was a strong part of Judaism, which supposedly was absorbed into Judaism from the Babylonian culture. It carried over and persisted in its own way in Christianity--primarily Catholocism-- and was more commonly accessed in medieval and magical Christianity and Christianized folk culture, having been a little forgotten in modern Christianity (but followed either authentically or "fluffily" in New Age stuff and in ceremonial magic.)
The Archangel Michael is also called St. Michael and IS considered to be a saint in the Catholic Church. Jehovah Witnesses believe that Jesus is the incarnation of the Archangel Michael. Check out the Wikipedia entry on Michael. It is quite informational and interesting.
