GABRIEL. Biblical.
[Heb.
Gabhriel = "man of God"
"hero of god." In the Cabalistic system, Gabriel is the
archangel who presides over the moon. Usage: America, Czech Republic, England, Germany, Hungary (Gábriel), Illyria.
An angel of high rank sent to
interpret a vision to the prophet Daniel (Dan. viii. 16-27). He was
commissioned again to visit the prophet to give him "skill and
understanding," and reveal to him the prophecy of "the seventy
weeks" (ix. 16-27). At a long subsequent period he was
despatched to Jerusalem to intimate to Zacharias the approaching birth of
John the Baptist (Luke i. 11-22), and then to Nazareth to hail the Virgin
Mary as chosen to the high privilege of giving birth to Jesus
(26-31). Gabriel described himself as habitually standing in the
presence of God (19). Thence, doubtless, he departed at longer or
shorter intervals to carry the Divine messages to and from this earth or
other worlds. (The Sunday School Teacher's Bible Manual,
Hunter, 1894)
