Michael

A heavenly messenger comes to Daniel after being delayed twenty-one days by opposition, until “Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me.” Later the same messenger calls Michael “your prince,” the one standing with Daniel’s people. Revelation 12 gives the third glimpse: “Michael and his angels fought against the dragon.” In each place Michael is an angel who takes up a battle on behalf of God’s people, and the text says little more about him. Christians read these passages with different degrees of detail, but all three describe help arriving from beyond what can be seen.
