From The Bible record it is learned that Gabriel is a high-ranking angelic creature “who stands near before God”; that he was one “sent forth” by Jehovah God to deliver special messages to servants of Jehovah God. (Luke 1:19, 26)

He was the only materialized angel to give his name. Twice Gabriel appeared to Daniel: first, near the Ulai River “in the third year of the kingship of Belshazzar” to explain Daniel’s vision of the he-goat and the ram (Daniel 8:1, 15-26); and second, “in the first year of Darius” the Mede, to deliver the prophecy concerning the “seventy weeks.” (Daniel 9:1, 20-27) He also appeared to Zechariah the priest. Gabriel brought the good news that he and his aging wife Elizabeth would have a son, John (the Baptizer). (Luke 1:11-20) Then he appeared to Mary, the virgin girl betrothed to Joseph, Gabriel declared: “Good day, highly favored one, Jehovah is with you.” He then told her that she would give birth to a son, Jesus​—he “will be called Son of the Most High; and Jehovah God will give him the throne of David his father, . . . and there will be no end of his kingdom.”​—Luke 1:26-38.
