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!

Quote:
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?

Yeah, if you don't get punctuation it would be far easier to just drop it.

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'!
