3 Baruch Michael Commander of the Messengers

 Let's take a look at 3 Baruch Chapter 11 

"We cannot enter until Michael comes, who holds the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. But wait and you will see the glory of God." And there was a great sound, as thunder. And I said " Lord, what is that sound?" And he said " Even now Michael, the commander of the messengers, comes down to receive the prayers of men." And behold a voice came," Let the gates be opened." And they opened them and there was a roar as of thunder. 


Chapter 14

And Michael departed, and the doors were closed. And there was a sound like thunder. And I asked the messenger, "What is the sound?" And he said to me "Michael is even now presenting the merit of men to God."

Chapter 15

And in that very hour Michael descended, and the gate was opened; and he brought oil. And as for the messengers which brought the baskets which were full, he filled them with oil, saying, "Take it away, reward our friends a hundredfold, and those who have laboriously worked good works. For those who sowed virtuously, also reap virtuously." And he also said to those with the half empty baskets, "Come here you also; take away the reward according as you brought, and deliver it to the sons of men." (Continues..)

Chapter 17

"And while he yet spoke, the door was closed, and we withdrew."



The Lord's voice is like Thunder..


Those of you with no good fruit, your angels are going to punish you severely. For you did not listen to His voice, nor did you observe His commandments. And you have been insolent towards His priests who proclaimed His words to you.
