Michael is the named figure who disputes with the devil and leads angels in heavenly conflict.

The two attestations present Michael as a named masculine singular subject: in Jude 1:9 he disputes with the devil concerning Moses' body, and in Revelation 12:7 he and his angels fight the dragon and its angels.

Senses in use

  1. Named figure in dispute and heavenly war · dominant

    Both occurrences use the nominative singular masculine form as the subject of a conflict scene. In Jude 1:9 the APB renders Michael as contending with the devil over the body of Moses; in Revelation 12:7 it renders Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon and its angels.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “Michael” in both verses, presenting him in a dispute in Jude 1:9 and in a heavenly battle in Revelation 12:7. These clauses show the scenes in which the name occurs rather than supplying a separate lexical rendering.
