Best Answer

Gabriel was the angel who came to Mary, mother of Jesus, and Zechariah, father of John the Baptist, to tell them that their sons were to be born and the significance of each birth. (See Luke 1 11-38.)

Gabriel also appeared to Daniel in the Old Testament. Gabriel told Daniel the meaning of the vision relating to the last days of this world. (See Daniel 8 & 9.)
