This document is about Michael (Archangel). For other homonyms, please refer to the Michael document. Michael is one of only two archangels whose names appear in the Bible. (The other is Gabriel)
### Michael in the Old Testament Michael's first appearance is recorded in the Book of Daniel, where Daniel receives a response from the archangel Michael after prayer. At that time, Michael stated that the prince of the Persian kingdom had hindered him when he came with the answer to the prayer. Since it is illogical for a human king of Persia to hinder an archangel, this can be interpreted as referring to Satan, the ruler of the world's empires.
