Hi Pastor John:<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Michael the only righteous angel that is ruling on the Earth? It sure seems that way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy<\/span><\/p>\n

==========<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, Billy.\u00a0 That is the case.\u00a0 The spiritual powers that are over the nations are all evil, especially Satan, “the god of this world”.\u00a0 Israel’s prince, Michael, is faithful.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Pastor John<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

==========<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael is the ONLY ONE?\u00a0 Is there any scripture about that?<\/span><\/p>\n

Token<\/span><\/p>\n

==========<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many angels that God may send from heaven to earth to minister for His children.\u00a0 They are all good.\u00a0 The archangel Michael is the only prince of a nation, however, who is faithful, and he has many angels under him in that capacity.\u00a0 The Bible mentions \u201cMichael and his angels\u201d, just as it does \u201cthe devil and his angels\u201d.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Pastor John<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

==========<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, I wasn\u2019t thinking of the ones under him but that is an interesting thought.\u00a0 I just never thought about him being the *only* good archangel in the world.\u00a0 Why is he the only good one?\u00a0 How do we know that?\u00a0 Have I missed something obvious here?<\/span><\/p>\n

Token<\/span><\/p>\n

==========<\/span><\/p>\n

As to why Michael was the only prince over the nations who remained faithful to God, I can\u2019t say.\u00a0 That is a matter of the heart.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The best biblical indication of such is the case, however, is what an angel once told Daniel.\u00a0 He said (Dan.10:21), \u201cI will show you that which is noted in the scripture of truth.\u00a0 And there is none that stands with me in these things, but Michael your prince.\u201d This angel was not speaking of angels in heaven standing with him in truth; nor was he speaking of humans.\u00a0 In the verse from Daniel that preceded that one, the angel was talking about spiritual princes over nations, Greece and Persia in particular.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

You can read the section which deals with this in Chapter 7 of my online book, God Had a Son before Mary Did.\u00a0 It is titled, \u201cPrinces over the Nations\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/span> .\u00a0 That might help clear things up for you.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
