“I saw that Moses passed through death, but Michael came down and gave him life before he saw corruption.  Satan claimed the body as his, but Michael resurrected Moses, and took him to Heaven.  The Devil tried to hold his body, and railed out bitterly against God [AGAINST Michael], denounced Him [Michael] as unjust, in taking from him his [Satan’s] prey.  But Michael did not rebuke the Devil, although it was through his temptation and power that God’s servant had fallen.  Christ [Michael] meekly referred him [Satan] to His [Christ’s] Father, saying, ‘The Lord [The Father] rebuke thee.’ ” 1SG:43.1.

“Christ resurrected Moses, and took him to Heaven.  This enraged Satan, and he accused the Son of God of invading his dominion by robbing the grave of his lawful prey.  Jude says of the resurrection of Moses, ‘Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.’ ” 2Red:24.1; Con:26.2; RH March 3, 1874, paragraph 13.

“Then, lest men should put on zeal of their own creating, born of their hereditary and cultivated traits of character, and count it true zeal for God, permitting Satan to get advantage of them in so doing, Jude presents the example of Christ.  He says, “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.’ ” 10LtMs, Lt 7, 1895, paragraph 16.

 

“I think it would be very becoming to all who claim to follow Christ to be indeed learning of Christ, His methods, and His meekness and lowliness of heart.  We have a decided message to bear.  In (Jude 1-8) we have the description of the pollution of the world, and the working agencies of Satan to corrupt the world, yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, ‘The Lord rebuke thee.’ ” 10LtMs, Lt 35, 1895, paragraph 6.

“Moses passed through death, but Michael came down and gave him life before his body had seen corruption.  Satan tried to hold the body, claiming it as his; but Michael resurrected Moses and took him to Heaven.  Satan railed bitterly against God, denouncing Him as unjust in permitting his prey to be taken from him; but Christ did not rebuke His adversary, though it was through his temptation that the servant of God had fallen.  He [Christ] meekly referred him [Satan] to His [Christ’s] Father, saying, ‘The Lord rebuke thee.’ ” EW:164.2; SR:206.3.

 

“For three weeks Gabriel wrestled with the powers of darkness, seeking to counteract the influences at work on the mind of Cyrus; and before the contest closed, Christ Himself came to Gabriel’s aid. ‘The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days,’ Gabriel declares; ‘but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.’ ” PK:571.2; SG:294.3.

 

“Again:  Christ is called the Word of God.  He is so called because God gave His revelations to man in all ages through Christ.  It was His Spirit that inspired the prophets.  He was revealed to them as the Angel of Jehovah, the Captain of the Lord’s host, Michael the Archangel.” PP:761.5.

 

“In this vision of the prophet, the angel Gabriel declared: ‘The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days:  but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.’ For three weeks Gabriel had been wrestling with the powers of darkness, and seeking to counteract the influences at work on the mind of King Cyrus.  Before the contest closed, Christ Himself came to Gabriel’s help.” RH, December 5, 1907.
