The proof texts used to identify Jesus with Michael are weak. 1 Thess. 4:16 says Jesus comes "with the voice of an archangel" — but also "with the sound of a trumpet," which no one takes to mean Jesus is a trumpet. Daniel 10:13 calls Michael "one of the chief princes" — not the unique chief — and inter-testamental literature (1 Enoch, Tobit) uses "archangel" for multiple beings, not one.

Jesus is probably NOT Michael the Archangel: The Hebrews Series pt 4 (Heb 1_4-7) 00:03:35 – 00:07:45

Evaluating the key proof texts for Jesus-Michael identification; each is insufficient
