What does the Bible say about Michael in Daniel 12?

Answered in 1 source

Michael, in Daniel 12, represents the Lord Jesus Christ who stands for His people, the elect.

In Daniel 12:1, the term 'Michael' refers to the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the great prince standing for the children of His people. This passage emphasizes that only Christ, not a created angel, stands for the elect written in the book of life. Michael's name, meaning 'who is like God', underscores the uniqueness of Christ as the uncreated angel of the covenant and the second person of the Trinity. Therefore, this standing represents Christ's advocate role for the elect during times of trouble.
