Jan 4, 2022 · The angel Gabriel is a messenger who was entrusted to deliver several important messages on God’s behalf. Gabriel appears to at least three people in the Bible: first to the prophet Daniel (Daniel 8:16); next to the priest Zechariah to foretell and announce the miraculous birth of John the Baptist (Luke 1:19); and finally to the virgin Mary ...

Did you know that every month, 12,000 people Google “archangel Gabriel”? What’s interesting about this is that the Protestant Bible never once calls Gabriel an archangel. The only named angel specifically called an archangel in the Bible is Michael (Jude 9). So why does everyone think of Gabriel as an archangel? Well, a long time ago someone wrote ...
The Bible mentions many angels—sometimes seers see tens of thousands at a time. But for all the angels in the Bible, only two are explicitly named. Gabriel is the first. The other is Michael. Granted, there are a few more divine creatures and critters with names in the Bible. But they’re not so clearly on God’s side. Caveat: This only goes for the ...
In the eighth chapter of Daniel, the prophet has a vision about a ram and a goat—and a lot of crazy stuff happening with their respective horns. I’ll let you check out the bizarre details yourself. Suffice it to say Daniel has a hard time understanding this vision. So someone “who looked like a man” comes to explain it to him. This person’s name is...
Gabriel’s second appearance in the Bible is in the book of Luke. He’s the one who announces to Zechariah the priest that he is going to have a son (John the Baptist). Zechariah is confused by this—more on that later. He asks Gabriel how he can be sure that this is going to happen. Gabriel responds with a mic drop (and I paraphrase): “I’m Gabriel. I...
Gabriel speaks with Daniel, the prophet and sage. God sends Gabriel to Daniel in response to Daniel’s prayers (and confusion about those visions). Gabriel next speaks to Zechariah the priest, to tell him about the coming birth of John the Baptist. The last person Gabriel speaks with is Mary, the mother of Jesus. He famously announces that even thou...
Every time Gabriel shows up in Scripture, he makes some mention of Jesus. The first time he speaks with Daniel, Gabriel explains that one of the horns in Daniel’s vision represents a “fierce-looking king” (Da 8:21–23). Gabriel tells Daniel that this king will destroy many, and take his stand against the Prince of princes (8:25). Daniel is understan...
When Daniel first describes Gabriel, he says that the angel looks like a man (Da 8:15). In fact, when Gabriel shows up afterward in chapter 9, Daniel doesn’t describe Gabriel as an angel—instead he calls Gabriel “the man I had seen in the earlier vision” (9:21). But he doesn’t seem to just come off as your average dude. When Gabriel shows up, his a...
Just thought I’d throw this one in for fun. While the Bible tells us that Gabriel came to Daniel “in swift flight,” it never mentions wings (Da 9:21). But we can probably cut da Vinci a break: the Bible doesn’t say that he doesn’thave wings either. ;-)
Gabriel delivers two messages in the book of Luke: one to Zechariah and the other to Mary. Both concern miraculous births. An interesting thing that Luke tells us is that Gabriel can tell whether or not the people he’s talking to believe his message. For example, Zechariah asks Gabriel, “How can I be sure you’re telling me the truth? I mean, Elizab...
The Bible preserves four conversations between Gabriel and people: two with Daniel, one with Zechariah, and one with Mary. Half of these conversations begin with God sending Gabriel in response to a prayer. In Daniel chapter 9, Daniel makes a long, heartfelt prayer to God on behalf of Jerusalem, the temple, and the people of Israel. This is a praye...
