Description
Who was Michael?
Michael is an archangel who appears in various biblical passages, particularly in the books of Daniel, Jude, and Revelation. In the book of Daniel, Michael is described as "one of the chief princes" who comes to the aid of the angel Gabriel in his struggle against the prince of Persia (Dan.10.13). Michael is also referred to as "your prince" (Dan.10.21) and "the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people" (Dan.12.1), indicating his role as a protector of Israel. In the New Testament, the book of Jude mentions Michael contending with the devil over the body of Moses (Jud.1.9), showcasing his role in spiritual battles. The book of Revelation portrays Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon (Satan) and his angels, ultimately prevailing and casting them out of heaven (Rev.12.7). These passages highlight Michael's significant role as a powerful angelic being who fights for God's people, protects them from evil forces, and plays a crucial part in end-time events. Michael's appearances in the Bible underscore the reality of spiritual warfare and the existence of heavenly beings who serve God and defend His purposes.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.

The pattern
Where Michael is named
Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.
5 verses across 3 of 66 books; 63 write the name nowhere. Named in Daniel (3), Jude (1) and Revelation (1).
