Do the scriptures identify Jesus as Michael the archangel? (Part 5)

Is Jesus also Michael the archangel?
This was my response to someone who had raised the topic back in the Pathways-Online days, and the original topic can be found here. I recently posted this on a site (Hourglass2 Outpost) that I occasionally post at, thinking that it would be nice to here what thoughts others might have on the subject, some 6 1/2 years later… and to expand on my own understanding.
What follows then, in a 5-part series, is not only the 6 1/2 year old post, but my response to someone who asked me to comment on their own observations. I hope that it at least provokes further discussion on the topic.
Follow-up Post #4
A well thought out conclusion. Each person needs to make sure on their own, of course.
Please also consider a scripture you didn’t include:
Daniel 10:21, DRC, “But I will tell thee what is set down in the scripture of truth: and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince; [/b]“
If you have the time, please look at my conclusions here:

If you still believe your prior conclusion, I would be happy to be informed as to why. I like to see if I am wrong. ha ha
Christian greetings, ‘Fuzzy,’
Thank you for your response and the invitation to review your own observations. What follows are my responses to the link you provided, and my reasons for those responses. They are given in the spirit of exchange only, and are not to be taken as dogma.
For the sake of my tendency toward longwindedness, I will respond in segments, to allow for focused responses as well, and to make it easier for others to follow the discussion.

B. This argument is strengthened by the following:
Daniel 12:1 clearly refers to Michael the archangel of Jude 9.
Dan 12:1,2 reads, “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt. (Webster)
I think that I have sufficiently addressed this part of your article, actually, and will refer you to the previous segments for what I had to offer on this aspect of the discussion–at least in regards to my own findings and conclusions.
I do look forward to continuing this discussion and seeing everyone’s responses.
Submitted for your perusal and consideration,
A brother in Christ, Timothy
