Michael Poem by Gert Strydom

Michael



When unrest came to the heaven
and Lucifer wanted to be equal to God
Michael and his angels did defeat Satan.

When Moses looked at the burning bush
he saw God, who looked like an angel,
did get instructions from Him
from whom life itself does come
and he did stand on holy ground.

When Daniel lifted his eyes up to God
his words was heard in heaven
and Gabriel, an archangel from God was in battle
against the prince of Persia
for twenty one days
until a angel who is a prince, Michael,
did come to help him and brought victory.

[Poet's Note:"Michael (Hebr., "who is like God") , called St Michael in the Christian churches,
one of the seven archangels in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, presumed to be leader of the
angels (see Daniel 10: 13,21; 12: 1)and guardian angel of Israel. According to the
pseudepigraphic Book of Enoch, Michael and his command of faithful troops defeated the
rebellious archangel Lucifer and his followers, casting them into Hell. In the Talmud, his
relationship to the other angels is compared with that on earth of the high priest to Israel; thus, he
is considered the immediate lawgiver to the prophet Moses on Sinai (see Acts 7: 38) ." Microsoft
