1. Book of Daniel

3. The Angelic Realm 1.The vision paralyzes Daniel, but is given assurance that he need not fear. 2.The angel was dispatched immediately with a message for Daniel, but met opposition, which delayed him for twenty-one days. The same number of days Daniel was in mourning. 3.A powerful enemy, “Prince of Persian kingdom” blocked his way. 4.Michael, “One of the Chief Princes” intervened which allowed the angel to complete his mission. 5.The angel is aware that his return will put him in battle with not only the “Persian Prince”, but also the “Prince of the Kingdom of Greece.” 6.He refers to Michael as “your prince” in referencing Daniel and his people.

4. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 NLT Then there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. Revelation 12:7 NLT
