Hebrew, “One Who is like God.” “And there stood one among them that was like unto God, and he said unto those, who were with him, We will go down, there for there is space there...” -Abraham 3:24 (from Book of Abraham Manuscript, page 8)
In Mormon Kabbalah, Michael is the herald of the Sefirot Gevurah. According to the Bible, Michael is one of the chief princes and protector of Israel (Daniel 10:13, 21). We know he is an archangel from the New Testament (Jude 1:9). And he is a warrior, as it was he that led the fight mentioned in Revelation 12:7. According to Zenos Chapter 3 Michael was called to oversee the first dispensation of mankind here upon the earth. If Jesus, the Son as the right hand of the Father is peace, then Michael, the left hand, may be war.
We also know from Doctrines of the Saints that Adam and Michael are the same person (Appendix 1:11/DoC 104:28 RLDS/CoC, 107:53-55 CJCLdS). The Book of Remembrance teaches us that he is or represents the Holy Spirit (28:24-31). However, Doctrines of the Saints 68:17 places both “father Adam” and Michael together in Joseph Smith's vision. We do not know if this is a different Adam or a different Michael or if, it being a vision, Joseph was merely guessing as to who these two were.
