A created angel can’t raise the dead - did you even read the Bible?

It says clearly

“16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:”

It’s not an angel doing this.

it’s not Michael, one of the archangels doing this.

It is Jesus doing it - with the voice of AN archangel.

1 Thes 4: (KJV)...many other translations also use “the”
16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of THE archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

...with the voice of THE archangel

——>It’s not an angel doing this.
——>it’s not Michael, one of the archangels doing this.
——>It is Jesus doing it - with the voice of AN archangel.

John 5 CLEARLY states that it is THE voice of Jesus Christ that will raise the dead. No doubt about it.
“when all who are in their graves will hear His VOICE and come out.”

1 Thes 4 also CLEARLY states that it is Jesus Christ that will raise the dead, with the VOICE of the archangel (or chief messenger). Voice is mentioned in John 5, and Voice is mentioned in 1 Thes 4. That voice is from Jesus Christ, who is also known as/called/title Michael the Archangel.

Do the dead in Christ come out of their graves when they hear a CREATED angel’s voice? Nope. Michael the Archangel is another NAME/TITLE for Jesus Christ, that He used in the OT. Same for Angel of God/the Lord. Same for Angel of the Covenant. Same for Captain of the host of the Lord (Captain of the Lord’s host.

Paul COULD HAVE SAID...with the voice of the captain of the Lord’s host, or, angel of the Lord, or, angel of the covenant, or, angel of God...because He was also known as all of those names/titles. Paul chose “voice of the ARCHANGEL” which preincarnate Jesus Christ was also known as.

“As this study shows, according to scriptures, Jesus is the angel of the LORD, the angel of God, the angel of the covenant, the Archangel Michael, who appeared time and again in the Old Testament to speak directly to His people. Michael is just another title for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who is God in the flesh, the principle messenger of the gospel (archangel) to humanity, but He is not a created being.”
