What does the Bible say about the voice of the archangel?
Answered in 1 source
The voice of the archangel, mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 4:16, is associated with the return of Christ and is seen as the voice of Jesus calling the dead to rise.
In 1 Thessalonians 4:16, the apostle Paul refers to the 'voice of the archangel' as part of the glorious event of Christ's return. Although the term typically points to a singular archangel, many theologians equate this voice with that of Christ Himself, emphasizing that it is He who commands the dead to rise. This understanding supports the biblical narrative that all will hear His voice, as stated in John 5:25-28, highlighting the profound significance of Christ's ultimate authority over death and resurrection. Thus, the voice of the archangel is not merely a call from an angel but represents Christ's sovereign command to His people.
