    From the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el) meaning "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God.
    "Michael, who is like God" means "no person is like God" - This doesn't make sense!

    Mi- in Michael means "who?"
    Kha is an abbreviated Hebrew form of Kmo, that is "like, compared to",
    and El is a Divine name.
    So "who is like God" - more an exclamation that a question, like in the Song of the Sea, sung by Israel after the parting of the Red Sea.
    This discussion isn't going anywhere Justoo - shall we just agree to disagree?

    I understand punctuation but it still doesn't make sense - anyway enough said, its 10.50pm here and I'm off to bed, early start tomorrow, going huntin'!
