Another trinitarian that believes that Michael the archangel is Jesus:

Not believing in the trinitarian dogma, and believing that Jesus was indeed the firstborn creature (Colossians 1:15), I, of course, do not agree with many of the conclusions reached by Michael Scheifler.

The question has been asked: If there is only one archangel or one chief messenger why does Daniel 10:13 say he is "one of the chief princes" instead an absolute: "the chief prince"?

There is nothing in this scripture that proves that Jesus is not Michael, the chief messenger. His being one of the chief princes, only shows that there are chief princes (rulers, leaders, Captains, Generals, Commanders*), and that here Michael is classified as one of these "chief princes" -- Commanders-in-Chief, as we might say today. It is a military classification, not a classification of rank of being. Nothing is said about these "chief princes" all being equal in being. Nor is there anything here that would make all the angels "chief princes". What brings the classification together, however, is that these are chief rulers -- Commanders, Generals, not that they are angels.
