You use a Hebrew word to prove that the "Michael" is one entity, and you use a Latin word to prove that this entity is not related to the 'Michael' entity. As a matter of fact that the Lucifer persona envied the Michael persona's position. You assume the conclusion that Michael is Jesus and then prove he has power over the Lucifer persona, which if Jesus is God then, unless your a Manichean, is by definition true. -- John Clark jclark@ucsd.edu
