In the Bible, Saint Michael is not mentioned often, but he is very important, as the scriptures point out.

He is mentioned twice in the book of Daniel, first when he helps Daniel and then later when referencing how St. Michael will stand up for the “Children of God” in the end times.

His final mention in the scriptures is in the book of Revelation when he leads the angels into battle against Satan and the demons.
