Luke 2:52 - And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Was he not in favor with God before he come?
----------
Wotsup, the Scripture says he "increased" in favor. He had God's favor, but had never had to endure hardships he experienced here on earth.
(Hebrews 5:8) Although he was a son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.
You will have explain why you think his being Micheal Michael or not has anything to do with the subject.
--------------
Can Spirits change?
You say some angels will perish, why can't they change then?
-------------
Yes , angels have changed from being obedient to becoming wicked. However there is no hope of their ever changing back. They are sinning against the spirit.
(Jeremiah 13:23) Can a Cushʹite change his skin, or a leopard its spots? If so, then you can do good, You who are trained to do bad.
-----------
Neither David, any other prophet or even angels understand details of God's purpose ahead of God's time for revealing it to them.
(Daniel 12:8, 9) Now as for me, I heard, but I could not understand; so I said: “O my lord, what will be the outcome of these things?” 9 Then he said: “Go, Daniel, because the words are to be kept secret and sealed up until the time of the end.
(1 Peter 1:10-12) Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the undeserved kindness meant for you made a diligent inquiry and a careful search. 11 They kept on investigating what particular time or what season the spirit within them was indicating concerning Christ as it testified beforehand about the sufferings meant for Christ and about the glory that would follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were ministering, not to themselves, but to you, regarding what has now been announced to you by those who declared the good news to you with holy spirit sent from heaven. Into these very things, angels are desiring to peer.
When God was about to conclude a covenant with Abraham, a deep sleep and great darkness fell upon the patriarch, and Jehovah then apparently spoke to him in a dream. (Ge 15:12-16)
I'm not sure if this is what you are asking about Abraham.
