Gabriel is The Angel of the pressence.
He’s the only Angel mention in the bible, who looks lika Man and an Angel at the same time..just like the Angel of God.
He is the Angel of the everlasting covenant..He’s the messainic Angel..
All the messianic prophesy comes from Gabriel…Daniel is mention by Jesus as a prophet…He got his prophesy from the Angel Gabriel..
Gabriel is the Angel of revelation the angel of God’s spirit. He is also the Angel who strenthen Michael with a vision.
The dead sea scrolls mentions him in ancient text…He showed Michael a vision of the kingdom of God on earth..
in daniel the other Angels asks him when will the things be… The angels in ch 8 of Daniel asks him questions concerning the future.

what about gabriel? the angel of the Lord is referred to as God’s presence. “my presence will
go with you and i will give you rest” in Exodus. gabriel says “i am gabriel, who stands in the
presence of God”. also in Isaiah 63 it says “the angel of his presence saved them”. i believe gabriel is the angel of the Lord, who stands in God’s presence and before God’s face.

What do you think about the three men that came to see Abraham. The Bible says: “And Yahweh appreared to him” and then goes on saying that there were 3 men.

The Angel Of Yahweh:
If we look just the OT, then we don’t know who He is really, but if we go to the NT we find that it says that the Messiah was the One that was guiding Israel in the wildernes and that He is the Only Mediator between Yah and men, so from this point of view we can understand that the Angel of Yahweh is the same person.
We need to realized also that we have to look the Hebrew language to know what the Scriptures really say. If we look at the English only, we are going to be confused. In the Hebrew we don’t use capital letters. So the way it is written making a difference between the “Angel” of Yahweh and the “angel” of Yahweh in the English is different than in the Hebrew which looks the same, and it doesn’t make a diffrence in the sentence. So for the hebrew mind this “Angel or angel” is just a messenger. The word angel is a word that comes from the Greek language and it is the word messenger for the Hebrew, but the way it is used now is confusing for the Hebrew mind because if we use the word angel instead of messenger, then we are making a distiction between two things; we are creating a being called “angel” which is powerful and supernatural and then we end up with a “messenger” which can be human or supernatural. So we have a problem already if we do this.
If we change the word messenger for the word angel, we have it saying for example: “And the “messenger of YHVH” appeared to me…” So this way, we have a different meaning to the sentence, and also if we take the capital letters out.
Now we can see differences between the messenger of YHVH that appears as YHVH and the messenger of YHVH that comes in the authority of YHVH to give a messege whether in person or through a dream or a vision, or to do something as a physical act. The way we find these differences is always according to the context of the Scripture. And this way of studying the Scriptures should be good to do, always, for everything else, that is to say: according to the context.
Well, this is a wonderful study, but it can take several pages to go through it so if you want to study more just send me a note.
The quote of the day is: “Study the Scriptures with love, an open mind, a humble heart, without fear and prejudice and without any preconceived ideas”
