The assignment of the appointed angel of God at this last hour of darkness is as enumerated in Exodus 23:20-31. This is because it is the same angel assigned to bring Israel to their promised land. He was with Moses;
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. He has a sword in hand and watched over the law as the angel of the covenant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It is the same angel that worked with Moses, the prophets and John the baptist who prepared the way for Christ. The angel of this last hour is here to prepare the way for Christ too as we await to usher in the reign of Christ. This is because the principalities need to be removed, the appointment of the last hour, as prophesied by Daniel. Note he is referred to as a prince, as in in charge of a principality of a group of people to which Daniel belonged. It is also important to note that in His days, Israel is in bondage, under the principality of Persia, another prince that contended with the Angel of God. It is the same prince that in other Chapters is represented as a beast, a common phenomenon for angels of His rank, the chief princes. Note the vision of the glory of God that Ezekiel saw, there, holy cherubim with the face of beast. These are all angels of a certain cadre in charge of entire principalities. Principalities that are not separated from the world of men as we know it.
1.To keep us in the way, and bring us to a place prepared(Exodus 23:20). The same way he went before Israel, sword in hand, He goes before us, making way through destroying many nations/princes/principalities.
2.To bring judgement to the powers of darkness and deliver the heritage of the saints(Ex 23:21-24).
Our promise is in a spiritual heritage, the same heritage belongs to Israel in the physical realm. Both are functions of the same angel, for the law, and its covenant was a shadow and a prophetic declaration of our covenant of Christ, and our promise of inheriting the principalities of the earth. Our covenant is one of the law being written in our hearts.
This season might be favorable to Israel as this is her Angel. We shall have to endure a storm for a while, as the ancient principalities have risen up too, in fulfillment of the scriptures. But so has the the Angel of God. Darkness increased, but remember how God works
The hand of God(by this angel of the last hour,) is a witness to these powers as wickedness increases. In the ancient parable of Israel, these were represented by the powers that bound and put them under tribute. These were other powers beside those that dwelt within the promised land. And nations besides those that were born of Lot, Ishmael and Esau who had earned a place beside Israel by association with the children of the covenant. It is so in the last day, when the child of the bond woman shall not inherit the promise, his life is extended for a season(Daniel 7:12). Not all her enemies get this priviledge(Daniel 7:11).
The assignment of the angel in this hour of darkness also represents the annointing of God at work in the saints of God on earth at this season. Remember, He is the principality of the current time, for the saints. On the other hand is the prince of this world, where you and me live;
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

Daniel 10:13 | Read whole chapter | See verse in contextBut the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.This is the work of the Angel of the last hour. Right now, though the law is perfected in us through Christ and as many as are of Christ need not worry. The functions of this last hour angel are:
