"At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise[a] will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”
Micha-El means "who is like God", likely a reference to "One like the Son of Man" in Rev 14:14 and other verses.
A person in the image of God, a blueprint for the kind of people we ought to be. MEEK... powerful, but under control. Power contained. Patient.
I don't know the history or my own religion? Do you even know what the word PROTESTant means? You say a protestant worships at the feet of dead saints??? I worship The LORD wherever and whenever I want to. And most certainly not at the feet of a dead human. Protestant means, In Protest to the catholic church which you are lumping the ideology of a catholic and a protestant together. So you can vapidly flap your jaws about things you know nothing of, like the generalization of millions of people because you think you know it all. Do you even know when eastern orthodoxy and western orthodoxy even split? It was the first great schism. Why did they split? Hmmmm?? Since you know it all, seeing as how you can use words like sola scriptura??? That was passed down by a freaking pope!!! PROTESTANTS DON'T BELIEVE IN A POPE!!!! And let me ask you, how highly do you regard St. MARK??? is he your pope?? Do you deify him?? Tradition is important. But here's the deal, by saying these things that you all do, proves to me, that you have no concept of time, and have obviously not read The Bible. Can you even quote leviticus law oh mighty ones that believe in such tradtion?? When Jesus Himself said that not one Jot or Tiddle of the law be forgotten or dismissed?? What happens when your wife keeps acting up and won't stop being a turkey toward her husband?? Go to chapter 30, find out. You kill her and her father for not raising her to treat a man with respect!! Literally says that. You wanna go back to tradition??? I'm sure a whole lot of women here wouldn't enjoy that law very much... you do not know the meaning of grace. You don't even know the history of the very language you even speak. I pray your hypocrisy ends soon, or you will partake in the weeping and gnashing of teeth yourself.
First Council of Nicaea, look it up. First Great Schism. Separating the Western Orthodox, (Catholic Church) and Eastern Orthodox (Greek Orthodoxy). The debate was on the trinity, and whether or not Christ Jesus' Divinity. Second schism was protestants and Catholics. I do not have to go through a bishop, a cardinal, or a pope to pray to my LORD. Jesus is my King, and the Holy Spirit is my intercessor. Do you even know why Martin Luther did what he did??? Look into pope Pious the 8th I believe it was... maybe the 10th. One of those pious pieces of work. He was in the process of building the basilica to what it is now, and ran the Vatican's coffers dry in the process. He then resorted to selling indulgences, which were lateral pieces of paper that would, "forgive" a person of thier sins... and not even thier real sins against The LORD, indulgences were originally meant only to forgive a person of a sin against the laws of the church! Because no man can forgive a sin against God. But you man can forgive man for sin against man. But these indulgences in particular were going to far, some were even reportedly said to have written on them, that even if the mother of jesus were alive in that day, and one were to rape her, that the indulgence bought, would forgive the person of even that sin.. which is complete and totally blasphemy. Luther, an Augustinian Monk, literally the most hardcore monkly order in europe. Was being continually asked to explain these indulgences to the populace, because they were so wild they didn't even make sense to the layperson as to how the church could be peddling these things... so even he, a learned scholar in the Word, was having a hard time explaining these things to people. And in his extreme frustration, nailed his 99 thesis to the door of the church. Out of his opposition for this. And rightfully so. And from there it lead him to the diet of worms, which he prevailed. And rightfully so. He didn't even mean to start the protestant revolution, it was just an side effect of the current situation, born out of the pope's love of money and flashy building projects that was driving your precious orthodoxy into paradoxical heresy. So, continue. Please. I can literally go on all day, and you know why? Because I know my history.
Indeed...
