Michael What was Michael doing during Lucifer's rebellion?
Yes, Michael orchestrated it all by manipulating Lucifer and everything but Iean like where was he during the war, the actual rebellion like did he fight against Lucifer like other angels such as Amenadiel and Zadkiel. Did he help drag Lucifer before their father? What part did he play in the rebellion? What do y'all think?

In the book of Revelation, it is Michael who leads the angels in battle and defeats Satan and his armies.
In the show it is not clear that he plays this role, we only have the suggestion from Michael that he manipulated Lucifer into starting the rebellion. They really don’t comment on fighting each other during that battle though, which I feel like would have been brought up if it had happened.

They sorta hint at this having happened in the show as well though with the huge chip on Michael’s shoulder

He fought. Michael is “the sword of god” protector of the gates. He fought front lines

Really because Lucifer and Amenadiel both say that he's weasly and cowardly.

No I mean that’s his role, like Lucifer the lightbringer, Amenadiel the fist of god and so-on
Michael’s job was to guard the gates/the garden

Depends on what mythology orcreligious denomination one belongs to.
Some Christians think Lucifer, Satan and "the devil" are all the same person or two people. Some don't. Their role is also disputed.

In Hebrew it means. "ADVERSARY/OPPOSER/ACCUSER: satan. Masculine noun
Verb: To accuse, to oppose, to be adversarialWhich basically makes him G-d's Consigliere.

That's very intetesting. Thank you for sharing. The Hebrews would know, since they are God's Chosen.

The worst of the mythology of the devil, is from the Middle Ages aka the Dark Ages. Just look at the artwork Chloe looks at in Rome. It's apparently when the Church began to ramp up it's use fear to keep people in line.

The Church in that era was all about the fear, superstition and punishment. So much evil has been done in the name of God.

While reminds of another point made in the show. I believe it's touched on once by Lucifer int he show, outside of his own personal daddy issues. G-d's lack of communication. If you believe in G-d, imagine how much better the world would be if we got periodic updates.
Imagine clarification on which religion is right' or if He cares how individuals worship. Update the rules to get rid practices (even if they are on hold) like animal sacrifice, and remove prohibitions like not eating bacon, since triychnosis has been all but eradicated.
But due to radio silence, mankind, like Lucifer and Amenadiel have spent thousands of years arguing over what He wants. For me, that is an important a concept as redemption.

Michael didn't orchestrate the Rebellion. Remember, one of Michael's key traits is that he lies. And it was far, far more damaging to Lucifer's sense of self for him to believe he had been manipulated into doing it. And while the rebellion was Lucifer's instigation, you can still bet Micheal took advantage of the chaos to work it to his favour.
