Archangel Michael being the Angel of Jehovah.

None of these names in Hebrew prove the person is God.

Michael “Who is like God?”

Malachi “God’s angel/messenger”

Jeremiah “Yahweh will exalt," "Yahweh has uplifted," or "Yahweh loosens".

Isaiah “Yahweh is salvation," "the Lord is salvation," or “God saves”.

Ezra “help of God”.

Hezekiah “strength of God”

Micah “Who is like God?"

Ezekiel “God strengthens”.

Nehemiah “God comforts”.
Only that Angel named Michael is the only Biblical Archangel.
And,
Revelation 12:7, . . . Michael and his angels . . . .

What is the argument that the Archangel Michael can not be the Angel of the LORD?

Hebrews 1:5
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?


Hebrews 1:13
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

Were Jesus an angel, Michael would be that answer according to your reasoning.

It is no surprise that there is only one archangel. The description is that of one angel over the rest. Were there two or three archangels, we would need to redefine the word.

Big difference is that JW see Jesus actually was Michael archangel before Incarnation, while those such as Henry, Calvin, and Gill saw Him as preincarnated Christ as still very God being called michael as in Commander of armies in heavenly realm

Both of them however were still wrong

At the point of saying Jesus has the voice of an archangel, you might as well be saying that Jesus is sounding the trumpet.

Revelation 12:7-12
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought(LUKE 20:35-36) against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our GOD, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our GOD day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.


12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them
. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.


Revelation 11:15-18

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before GOD on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped GOD,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Why is He not literally who is like God in always being the LORD?

So if I am understanding you correctly Christ is Michael because Michael means “Who is like God"

So are all Christians going to become Christ? We are told in 1Jn 3:2 that we will be like Him, Christ.

1Jn_3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

@37818 your logic is flawed.
