Genesis 32:1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Michael has never ever left any of His people at any time or at any place, whether it be in good times or bad times; and He has very valid reasons for never leaving us. When He had pulled back His restraining orders from the devil just for a few days we observe what took place with Job and all that had pertained to him.
Thus, Christ’s presence has always been there, but persons were probably not seeing Him. At certain times He may reveal Himself through the presence of angels, or in other instances, He may take it on a personal level, as He did with the Hebrew boys, but Michael has always been there for His people.
When Jacob was fleeing from Laban, and was in dire straits because of the looming threat from Esau, the angels of God made themselves visible to him, and he was thus encouraged on his way, but Christ had always been with him. The same fact of Christ’s continual presence with us was again made manifest in Joseph’s experience. At that time Joseph had been sold into slavery by his brothers, false accusations were made against him by the seducer, and finally he was incarcerated for standing up for right. But in all and through it all the presence of God never left him.
Genesis 39:2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. 21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
