According to some Watchtower literature, it is taught that Michael the Archangel is Jesus and that Jesus, after He ascended into heaven, resumed the name of Michael.
> "**It proves Michael the archangel is no other than the only begotten
> son of God, now Jesus Christ.** The very name Michael means who is like
> God and indicates Jehovah God is without like or equal." (New Heavens
> and New Earth pg.30-31).
>
> **Jesus is actually the incarnation of Michael the Arch angel and
> resumed the name when he ascended into heaven (** ibid. pg.30 Your will
> be done on earth pg.316 )
Do Jehovah's Witnesses still believe this, and, if so, what is the biblical basis from which these teachings are derived?
