1 Thess 4:16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.
It is the voice of Jesus Christ that raises the dead. No created angel can do that. Jesus Christ is called the Captain of the hosts. Michael the Archangel leads the host of angels in heaven. Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, ...
The bible is very clear that Michael the Archangel is another TITLE for Jesus Christ (same for Captain of the host of angels). Your doomed cult teaches otherwise. Poor choice in my opinion.
Captain of the host leads the angels
Michael the Archangel, leads the angels
Both are TITLES for Jesus Christ.
1 Thess 4:16, is describing the announcement of the KING of kings.
Study what happens when the King comes into the room, house, or city and you will see that there is always a herald with a trumpet that announces the KINGS arrival. The announcer/trumpeter is the Michael the archangel.
The Bible is very clear that just as and angel announced Jesus the Baby’s arrival, Luke 2:9, John the Baptist announced Jesus as the Lamb of GOD, John 1:29, Michael will announce the KING of Kings when He returns the second time in absolute triumph, 1 Thess 4:16.
Notice Phil three times Baby Jesus, humble servant Jesus, Triumph KING Jesus.
ALL three times JESUS had a created being/servant announce HIS arrival!
