Help[Facts] Re: Michael
in reply to a message by Magick Toad
Short answer: it is the rhetorical question "Who is like God?"
Long answer: it is a variation on a theme.
Micaiah/Michaiah/Micahiah- "Who is like (YAHWEH)?"
-indicating the sacred name YAHWEH using 'yah'
Micah/Micha- "Who is like (God)?"
-either an abbreviated form of the above names or with God being implied
Michael- "Who is like God?"
-using the more generic word for God, 'El'
