Gabriel

Gabriel  (meaning "God is my strength" in Hebrew) is an Archangel of God believed to be in charge of the internal affairs of God's Kingdom. Mentioned both in the Old and New Testament, Gabriel is called upon to bring both prophecies and announce the birth of God's annointed servants..
He makes his first appearance in the Bible when he visits the prophet Daniel to interpret a vision given to him by GodDaniel 8:15. He later reveals to Daniel the prophecy found concerning the future of IsraelDaniel 9:20-27. It is assumed that he was the angel that was withstood for 21 days by the demonic Prince of Persia, but managed to break through with assistance from the archangel MichaelDaniel 10:4-13.
Centuries later, as recorded in Luke's gospel, Gabriel announces the birth of John the Baptist to ZechariahLuke 1:19. And finally, God sends Gabriel to Nazareth in Galilee to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the House of DavidLuke 1:26.
