600-year-old Gabriel

God’s top angel Gabriel shows up by name four times in the Bible, spanning almost 600 years. First he helps the prophet Daniel understand some visions, including one about “the Anointed One,” (Daniel 9:25). Later, he tells a young Mary that she will give birth to the Anointed One, “the Son of the Most High,” (Luke 1:32 NLT). Who’s Who and Where’s Where in the Bible 2.0, p. 146.
