He makes an appearance twice in the book of Daniel. Gabriel mentions Michael stepped into a spiritual fight against the Prince of Persia so Gabriel could deliver a message to the prophet Daniel Michael appears again in Daniel , indicating he protected the Israelite nation from spiritual attacks.
He makes a personal appearance in Jude when in a dispute with the devil, where Satan attempts to get him to blaspheme God as they argue about the body of Moses. He rebukes Satan.

A spiritual war rages all around us, be we can rest assured God has placed angels throughout the world to protect us against spiritual harm. A better matching would be Satan and Michael. Rest assured, God has no match.

The four archangels that represent the elements of magic are Raphael, Gabriel, Michael, and Uriel. The archangel of reasoning and common sense. His air energy is linked to the strength of the mind.
