His name, Michael, literally means "Mīḵāʾēl," which translates to, "Who is like El?" "El" is one of many names for God, and it's where the name Elohim comes from too. So his name means, "Who is like God?" His name is the question he asked Lucifer when he said, "I will not serve God. I want to be like God." Michael said in reply, "Who is like God? No one can be Him but Him."
The flaming sword picture in the middle is also the sword of St. Michael. His sword is not always represented as flaming in every depiction of him, but it is definitely a symbol generally only used with him.
Many times in the Q Drops we are encouraged somewhat urgently to put of THE FULL ARMOUR OF GOD. May I add this devotional which may also help us understand why the Sword of the Spirit is so important. I believe God is preparing us for an upcoming great battle. Kash stood in front of that picture for a reason. It’s up to us to pray and discern what God wants us to hear.
“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” (Ephesians 6:13)
The sixth piece of armor that Paul discusses in Ephesians 6 is the sword of the spirit, which represents the Word of God. For a Roman soldier, the sword served as an offensive weapon against enemies. When sharpened, the sword could pierce through just about anything, making it a very dangerous tool.
To understand the connection between the sword and the Word of God, it is first important to understand the power of God’s Word. Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Through God’s Word, we can distinguish between right and wrong. As a result, we can strive to live in a way that is free from sin. His Word is the ultimate truth, and we can find confidence in knowing it is our greatest weapon.
If we are lacking in knowledge of God’s Word, we will struggle to fight against the enemy. However, those who seek God’s Word and abide by it will be blessed. John 5:24 says, “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.”
In addition, the sword of the spirit is unique in that it can be used as both a defensive and offensive tool. While God’s Word can protect us from the lies of the enemy, it can also counter attacks. For example, Jesus used God’s Word as an offensive weapon in Matthew 4 when Satan tried to test Him in the wilderness.
So, how can we use the sword of the spirit in our lives? We are not meant to keep the knowledge we gain from God’s Word to ourselves. When we are asked to defend what we believe, we can use God’s Word to point back to Him.
Sometimes, it is not easy to take up our swords and fight against the enemy. However, we are not called to do this by our own strength. When facing trials, we can find peace in knowing that God is on our side. Romans 8:31 says, “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
I encourage you to take up the sword of the spirit in your daily life. Remember that God’s Word is the ultimate truth and that we can stand on His promises. With God on our side, we are unstoppable.
It was. Whoever put that devotional forward has a deep understanding of God’s Word and His prompting for us to put on the Full Armour of God in difficult times - everyday. I remember my daughter bought home from school a colour-in page on the ‘Full Armour of God”. I was mortified. The Minister had replaced the Armour with everyday items - umbrella, suitcase, hat, business suit etc. He didn’t want to ‘upset’ the children with impressions of war! He was part of the liberal churches springing up and didn’t really understand the true impact that it would have down thru the ages. It would seem war would be with us for thousands of years.
When I see JOY - I always think of the wonderful Servant of God that lead me to The Lord Jesus. He had a bookmark with JOY on it. I said how lovely it was and it was given by someone on his walk. He said do you know what it means? I replied no - he replied. JESUS. OTHERS. YOURSELF. JOY. I’ve never forgotten that and try to apply it everyday. God Bless.
Michael is one of the elite commanders of the elohim...given the territory of Galilee and then a straight line down through Italy..famous fortress of his still there..on to Devon st micheals mount and on through to another fortress in Ireland. His territory was far bigger than Yahweh s who only had the tribe of Jacob wandering in The desert that he led out of Egypt. I believe he was given them by Elyon but Jacobs tribe could choose which elohim they wanted as their sic god...
how in the old testament he got bigger to become the god..than st Michael or Elyon the leader of the elohim is that the writers of this old testament to what happened when the elohim. Invaded landing on mount Hebron is purely thanks to the lies of the tribe of Jacob bigging up their nasty vicious bloodthirsty child raping oh so mortal who wanted to be worshipped and have altars in his name...killing even his own comrades..
Archangel Michael is in charge of macro-level cultural change. He's very active currently. If a Great Awakening occurs, it will be through Michael's efforts, and the efforts of great people like Kash.
There's a lady that does the QHHT hypnosis healing (previously taught by Dolores Cannon), and she puts her recordings of the sessions up on youtube. If she believes there is an attachment of an entity or another soul to that of the person she's working on, she always calls on Archangel Michael to use his flaming sword to find any of those attachments and sever the connection of the entity and send it back to God/Source. Very powerful stuff.
So glad you mentioned spiritual armor. It is way more important than most of us realize. We fight not against flesh and blood... But powers and principalities. True for all time.
Meanwhile, "Da most amazing artist in history, ever!" Marina A. and a decrepit Rothschild pose in front of a painting of Satan and hope that sends a message to you to be scared.
That painting shows him stepping on a guy, but it's actually a disguised serpent.
The head on the left of the fire line, and the fire line defining the body.
The painting harkens the phrase "he shall bruise your heel, and you will crush guys head" paraphrasing. That's a reference to Jesus and Satan and the eternal conflict of good and evil, with good JUST edging out evil.
“A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach. Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.”

When I see Joy now! Thanks for sharing! 💛
Could be.

Here's a cool statue of Archangel Michael and satan from my local cathedral
Archangels, the hierarchy of warriors. Our human warriors right behind them.
The Russian state flag has Michael slaying the serpent.
A lot of histo changed ry will have to be

His prayer cured my sleep paralysis. St. Michael defend us.
Saint Michael is a spiritual warrior angel in the war between good and evil

God's warriors will prevail 😁

I did notice. Totally based.
Yes — I saw that this morning! ThanQ for posting about it.
Archangel Michael is PRESENT and EVERYWHERE. Thank you, God, for allowing St. Michael to hear our pleas. 🙏
Magnify the Lord. Praise His Holy Name.
Happy that you mentioned spiritual warfare. We fight not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers. Sloppy paraphrase, but legit.
Micha El is another name for Jesus
No it isn’t. See Daniel 10:13, Jude, 1 Enoch, etc.
That painting shows him stepping on a guy, but it's actually a disguised serpent.
The head on the left of the fire line, and the fire line defining the body.

Michael looks like a twirly soy boy in that pic ngl :/
XD XD XD
Read Revelation 12
