In Johnston's theological works, especially his 'Commentary on the Revelation' [1], he taught, as did the whole of the Reformation[2], that "Michael" the archangel, even the "Angel of the LORD", is the Son of God (aka. Jesus Christ, the Messiah the Prince); and was not as a creature with a beginning, but as co-eternal with the Father, and as such, ever was and is, Deity and Creator, YHVH Emmanuel:

"... (Page 17) Before the woman fled into the wilderness, there was war in heaven between Michael and the Dragon. Michael is represented as contending for, and standing by the servants of God. From the description given of the conduct of Michael in these passages and also in this verse, it is evident that such is the signification of this symbolical name. The very meaning of the word also suggests this interpretation. It is a Hebrew word, which in that language signifies, "He who is God.". But Jesus Christ is God. The parties in this war (Page 17-18) were, on the one side, Michael and his angels; and on the other, the dragon and his angels. On the one side were Christ ..."[3] 172.56.33.245 06:18, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
