His position is contrasted with that of men and angels, as he is Lord of both, having "all power in heaven and earth." Hence it is said, "Let all the angels of God worship him"; [that must include Michael, the chief angel, hence Michael is not the Son of God] and the reason is, because he has "by inheritance obstained a more excellent Name than they."

Interestingly, the title "archangel" is used elsewhere in the Bible with reference to only person: Jesus-Christ. Paul says of him: "The lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice and with God's trumpet." (1 Thessalonicians 4:16) [...] These and other scriptures lead us to the inescapable conclusion that Michael is no one else but the Lord Jesus Christ in his heavenly position.
