Gabriel ( ; Hebrew: ??????????? ?, < small> lit.Ã, 'Gavri'el "God is my strength"', Ancient Greek: ??????? , lit. Ã, 'Gabriel', Coptic: ??????? , Aramaic: ??? ??? ?), in the Abrahamic religions, is an angel who usually serves as the messenger of God.
In the Jewish scriptures, Gabriel appeared to Daniel's prophet, to explain his vision (Daniel 8: 15-26, 9: 21-27). Gabriel the archangel is also a character in other ancient Jewish writings such as the Book of Enoch.
In the New Testament of Christ in the Gospel of Luke, the angel Gabriel appears to Zechariah and the Virgin Mary, foretelling the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus, respectively (Luke 1: 11-38). In many Christian traditions including Anglican, Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic, Gabriel is also called a saint.
In Islam, Gabriel was an angel sent by God with revelation to various prophets, including Muhammad. The first 5 verses of chapter 96 of the Quran, the Clot, believed by Muslims to be the first verse Gabriel revealed to Muhammad.
In the faith of the Latter-day Saints, the angel Gabriel was the same individual as Noah in His mortal ministry.
In Yazidism, Gabriel is one of the Seven Mysteries, Heptad God entrusted to the world.

Judaism
The Jewish Rabbi interpreted "man in cloth" as Gabriel in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Ezekiel. In the Book of Daniel, Gabriel is responsible for interpreting Daniel's vision. Gabriel's primary function in Daniel is the expression, the role he continues in the later literature. In the Book of Ezekiel, Gabriel is understood as an angel sent to destroy Jerusalem. According to Jewish Encyclopedia Gabriel takes the form of a man, and stands on the left hand of God. Shimon ben Lakish (3rd-century Syriac Palaestina) concluded that the names of angels Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel came out of Babylonian exile (Gen. 48: 9). Along with the angel Michael, Gabriel is portrayed as the guardian angel of Israel, defending these people against the angels of other nations.
In Kabbalah, Gabriel is identified with sephirot Yesod. Gabriel also has an important role as one of God's angels in the Kabbalah literature. There, Gabriel is depicted working with Michael as part of God's judgment. Gabriel does not have to be prayed because only God can answer prayers and send Gabriel as his agent.
According to Jewish mythology, in the Garden of Eden there is a tree of life or a "tree of souls" that is blooming and producing a new soul, falling into the Guf, the Treasury of Souls. Gabriel reaches into the treasury and takes the first soul that comes into his hands. Then Lailah, the Conception Angel, keeps an eye on the embryo until he is born.

Intertestamental Literature
The intertestamental period (approximately 200 BC - 50 CE) produces a great deal of literature, many of which have apocalyptic orientations. The names and ranks of angels and demons are greatly expanded, and each has a certain task and status before God.
In 1 Enoch 9: 1-3, Gabriel, along with Michael, Uriel and Suriel, "saw much blood shed on the earth" (9: 1) and heard the souls of men cry out, "Bring our goal before the Most High." (9: 3) In 1 Enoch 10: 1, the answer comes from "The Most High, the Holy and the Great" who sent agents, including Gabriel--
And the Lord said to Gabriel: "Continue against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [children of fornication and] the children of the Observers from among men [and cause them to go]: send them one against another that they can destroy each other in battle: for a long time they will not have it. "- 1 Henoch 10: 9
Gabriel is the fifth of the five angels who guard: "Gabriel, one of the holy angels, who are above Firdaus, serpent, and Cherubim." (1 Enoch 20: 7)
When Henokh asks who the four figures he sees: "And he said to me: 'This is Michael's first, loving and long-suffering: and the second, which regulates all the diseases and all the wounds of human children, is Raphael: and the third, who controls all the strengths, is Gabriel: and the fourth, which regulates repentance for those who inherit eternal life, is named Phanuel. 'And these are the four angels of God and the four voices I heard in those days. (Enoch 40: 9)
Christianity
New Testament
First, about John the Baptist, an angel appeared to his father, Zechariah, a priest in the way of Abijah, (Luke 1: 5-7) whose barren wife, Elisabeth, was the daughters of Aaron, while serving in the temple:
After completing the week of his ministry, Zechariah returned to his home (in Hebron) and his wife Elizabeth was conceived. After he finished "five months" (Luke 1: 21-25) of his pregnancy, Gabriel is mentioned again:
Gabriel only appears by name in two parts in Luke. In the first part the angel identifies himself as Gabriel, but in both Luke who identifies himself as Gabriel. The only other angels mentioned in the New Testament are Michael the Archangel (in Jude 1: 9) and Abaddon (in Revelation 9:11). Gabriel is not called an angel in the Bible. Believers are firmly warned not to worship angels (in Colossians 2: 18-19 and Revelation 19:10).
Gabriel Horn
The level of Gabriel blowing the sound of the trumpet to show God's return to Earth is a very familiar thing in the Negro spiritual. However, although the Bible mentions the blast of the trumpet before the resurrection of the dead, it never specifies Gabriel as a trumpet blower. Different passages state different things: angels of the Son of Man (Matthew 24:31); the voice of the Son of God (John 5: 25-29); God's Trumpet (I Thessalonians 4:16); seven angels sound a series of explosions (Revelation 8-11); or just "the trumpet will sound" (I Corinthians 15:52).
In related traditions, Gabriel is again not identified as a trumpet player. In Judaism, trumpets stand out, and they seem to be blown by God himself, or sometimes Michael. In Zoroastrianism, there is no trumpeter in the final judgment. In the Islamic tradition, Israfil blows the trumpet, though he is not mentioned in the Qur'an. The Christian Church Fathers did not mention Gabriel as a trumpeter; Early English literature is also not.
Gabriel's earliest identification known as a trumpet player came in the tract of John Wycliffe in 1382, De EcclesiÃÆ'Â| Dominio . In 1455, in Armenian art, there was an illustration in an Armenian manuscript that showed Gabriel sounding his trumpet when the dead climbed out of their graves. Two centuries later, Gabriel was identified as a trumpeter, at John Milton Paradise Lost (1667):
Later, Gabriel's horn is ubiquitous in Negro spirituality, but it is not clear how Byzantine conception inspired Milton and the clergy, though they may have the same source.
Gabriel's horn also appeared at The Eyes of Texas (1903) where it marked the appointment.
In Marc Connelly's spiritual-based drama, The Green Pastures (1930), Gabriel has her favorite trumpet constantly with her, and God must warn her not to blow her too fast. Four years later "Blow, Gabriel, Blow" was introduced by Ethel Merman at Cole Porter's Anything Goes (1934).
Feast
this day of the Saint Gabriel Archangel party is exclusively celebrated on March 18 as from various sources dating between 1588 and 1921, except for sources published in 1856, where the feast was celebrated on 7 April for unknown reasons (a bracket notes that day is usually celebrated on March 18). Author Elizabeth Drayson mentions a feast celebrated on March 18, 1588 in his 2013 book: "The Lead Books of Granada". Drayson, Elizabeth (January 13, 2016). Granada Main Book . Palgrave Macmillan - 2013 edition. P.Ã, 3. ISBNÃ, 113735884X Ã ,
One of the earliest outermost printing sources announcing the feast for March 18, first published in 1608 and has the name "Flos sanctorum: historia general de la vida y hechos de Jesu-Christo... y de los santos de que reza y fog fiesta la Iglesia Catholica... "by Spanish writer Alonso de Villegas, a newer edition of the book was published in 1794. De Villegas, Alonso (1794). "Flos sanctorum: general historia de la vida y hechos de Jesu-Christo..." . Spain: Imprenta de Isidro Aguasvivas. p.Ã, 250. Ã, Other sources published in Ireland in 1886.« The Irish Ecclesiastical Record  »also mentions 18 March. Irish Ecclesiastes . Browne and Nolan, 1886. 1886. p.Ã, 1112. Ã, There is a painting from 1886 by Italian artist Diodore Rahoult, March 18 appeared in the painting as well.
The party of Saint Gabriel was included for the first time in the Roman General Calendar in 1921, for a celebration on 24 March. It is not known whether this was a temporary change, but there was no mention of the celebration of the feast between 1921 and 1969. In 1969, the day was officially moved to 29 September for the celebration of St. Michael and St. Raphael. The Church of England has also adopted the 29th of September, known as Michaelmas.
The Eastern Orthodox Church and the Eastern Catholic Church following the Byzantine Rite celebrate the feast of November 8 (for churches following the traditional Julian Calendar, November 8 currently falls on November 21, the modern Gregorian Calendar, 13 days apart). The Eastern Orthodox commemorates him, not just at the November party but also on the other two days: March 26 is "Synaxis of the Archangel Gabriel" and celebrates his role in the Annunciation.
July 13 is also known as "Synaxis of the Archangel Gabriel", and celebrates all appearances and miracles associated with Gabriel throughout history. This party was first established on Mount Athos when, in the 9th century, during the reign of Emperor Basil II and Queen Constantina Porphyrogenitus and while Nicholas Chrysoverges was a Patriarch of Constantinople, the Archangel appeared in a cell near Karyes, where he wrote with a finger on stone tablet hymns to Theotokos, "It really met...".
Coptic Orthodox Church celebrates its party in Paoni 13, Koiak 22 and Paoni 26.
The Ethiopian Church celebrated its party on December 28, with a large number of followers making a pilgrimage to a church dedicated to "Saint Gabriel" in Kulubi that day.
In addition, Gabriel is the patron saint of couriers, those who work for broadcasting and telecommunications such as radio and television, remote sensing, postal workers, clerics, diplomats and stamp collectors.
Latter-day Saint teachings
In the theology of the Latter-day Saints, Gabriel is believed to have undergone mortal life as Noah's prophet. Both are considered to be the same individuals; Noah became a transient name and Gabriel became his heavenly name.
Islam
Gabriel (Arabic: ?????, Jibr? L or ??????? Jibr ??? l ) is glorified as an angel and as an Angel of Revelation in Islam. Because the Bible describes Gabriel as the heavenly messenger sent to Daniel, Mary, and Zechariah, the Islamic tradition also assumes that Gabriel was sent to many pre-Islamic prophets with divine revelations and commandments, including Adam, whom Muslims believed comforted by Gabriel sometime after the Fall.
According to Muslim beliefs, God reveals the Qur'an to Muhammad's prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel, and fifty-three articles of the text describe the angels without mentioning his name, in a section that the Islamic interpreters are utterly interpreted as referring to Gabriel. The question in question, 53: 4-11, reads:
Gabriel also was named many times in the Qur'an (2:97 and 66: 4 for example). In 2: 92-96, the Qur'an mentions Gabriel with Michael, who is also respected as an elevated angel in Islam. In Muslim tradition, Gabriel is considered one of the main angels. The exegesis tells us that Muhammad saw Gabriel in his full-fledged angel's glory twice, the first time he received his first revelation.
Muslims also honor Gabriel for a number of historical events that preceded the first revelation. Muslims believe that Gabriel is the angel who told Zachariah about the birth of John and Mary from the birth of Jesus in the future, and that Gabriel was one of three angels who had previously told Abraham about the birth of Isaac. All these events can be found also in the Qur'an. Gabriel also made a famous appearance in Hadith Gabriel, where he questioned Muhammad on the core teachings of Islam.
BahÃÆ'¡'ÃÆ' Faith
The BahÃÆ'¡'ÃÆ' Faith sees Gabriel as God's messenger delivering a message to Muhammad. He is mentioned in KitÃÆ'¡b-i-ÃÆ' qÃÆ'¡n , the main theological work of the Baha'i religion.
Art, entertainment and media
The hagiographer and the eccentric British relic, Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924), wrote the English lyrics for Gabriel's Message, which she translated from the Basque Christmas song Birjina gaztetto bat zegoen , which may be related to the Latin chronicles of the 13th century or 14th Angelus Ad Virginem, which itself is based on biblical accounts of the Annunciation in Luke's Gospel. In the song Creed, "My Own Prison", Gabriel mentioned define the vision for the main character in the song. "Sugar Baby", the last song on the Bob Dylan album Love and Theft , contains this reference: "Same as we live, just as we were born/See, look up - your Maker - Gabriel blew his horn. "

Daniel 8:15 describes Gabriel as appearing in "human form" and in Daniel 9:21 he is referred to as "Gabriel's man". David Everson observes that "anthropomorphic descriptions of angels are consistent with... previous descriptions of angels," as in Genesis 19: 5.
Gabriel is most often depicted in the context of scenes of the Annunciation. In 2008 a 16th century painting by Lucas van Leyden from the Netherlands was discovered. George R. Goldner, chairman of the printing and image department at the New York Metropolitan Art Museum, points out that the sketch is for stained glass windows. "The fact that angels are ordinary looks and not idealized children is typical of artists," Goldner said.
