In Abrahamic religions, Gabriel (Hebrew: גַּבְרִיאֵל, Modern Gavriʼel Tiberian Gaḇrîʼēl; Latin: Gabrielus; Greek: Γαβριήλ, Gabriēl; Arabic: جبريل, Jibrīl or جبرائيل Jibrail; Aramaic: Gabri-el, "strong man of God") is an angel who serves as a messenger from God. He first appears in the Book of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible. In some traditions he is regarded as one of the archangels, or as the angel of death. He is also known as Saint Gabriel to some Christian denominations.

Based on two passages in the Gospel of Luke, many Christians and Muslims believe Gabriel to have foretold the births of both John the Baptist and Jesus.

Islam further believes he was the medium through whom God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad, and that he sent a message to most prophets, if not all, revealing their obligations. He is called the chief of the four favoured angels and the spirit of truth, and in some views is a personification of the Holy Spirit. Gabriel is also mentioned in Bahá'í Faith texts, specifically in Bahá'u'lláh's mystical work Seven Valleys.

A most excellent armor! I do love the combination of the black on gold as well as the solid gold shield, very righteous looking shield.

Nice pic! =D

"He is called the chief of the four favoured angels"

I think you will find in Angel heirachy that Michael is the chief of the angels (and who threw down the devil etc) and Gabriel is the messenger.

I think this pic more represents Michael as Gabriel is never mentioned to be a figure of war.

But thats just an opinion =)

History and art in one I love how you incorperated several different stories. All I knew of Gabriel was he was in the bible somewhere for doing something lol, but thats mostly my fault for not looking into it but you caught every aspect perfectly instant fav! Kinda reminds me of Thor without the hammer.
