“But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.”
But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth; there is none who contends by my side against these princes except Michael, your prince.'—assuring Daniel that the heavenly messenger will reveal the truth recorded in God's eternal document, and that Michael the archangel serves as Israel's specific angelic protector against the cosmic powers opposing the people's interests. The reference to 'the book of truth' suggests divine foreknowledge and predestination of events. Michael's designation as 'your prince' confirms Israel's heavenly patronage despite earthly opposition.
