In the Abrahamic religions, the Archangel Gabriel is an Archangel who serves as a messenger of God. He makes the first appearance of him in the Book of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible. He is also known as the “Left Hand of God”. Christians believe that he announced the births of John the Baptist and Jesus. In biblical tradition, he is sometimes recognized as the Angel of Death, The Prince of Fire and Thunder, but rather as one of God’s chief messengers.
