Gabriel had left to bring the answer as soon as Daniel started praying (Daniel 10:12). Gabriel says that he was sent from heaven in specific answer to Daniel’s prayer. This angel, who we can reasonably assume is Gabriel, and the angel Michael were apparently engaged in battle with a series of demonic kings and princes, including those called the prince or kings of Persia (verse 13) and the prince of Greece (verse 20). The angel also refers to a battle occurring in the spiritual realms. From the language in the passage, it is also possible that there are actually two angels with Daniel-one speaking to him and another strengthening him so that he can respond (Daniel 10:16, 18). The angel says he has come to help Daniel understand his vision, so it is very possible that this passage is also referring to the angel Gabriel. In Daniel 10 we see another interaction between the prophet and “one in the likeness of the children of men” (verse 16) however, no name is given to this messenger. It is also clear that Gabriel’s appearance was rather terrifying, as Daniel fell on his face at the sight of him (Daniel 8:17) and was sick for days after his experience with the angel and the vision (Daniel 8:27). Gabriel’s “flight” might suggest wings, but wings are not mentioned. When Gabriel visited Daniel a second time, he came to him “in swift flight at the time of the evening sacrifice” (Daniel 9:21). Gabriel’s appearance was that of a man (Daniel 8:15 9:21). Gabriel’s role is to explain the vision to Daniel (Daniel 8:16). The first time we see Gabriel, he appears to Daniel after the prophet had a vision. Gabriel’s name means “God is great,” and, as the angel of the annunciation, he is the one who revealed that the Savior was to be called “Jesus” (Luke 1:31). Gabriel appears to at least three people in the Bible: first to the prophet Daniel (Daniel 8:16) next to the priest Zechariah to foretell and announce the miraculous birth of John the Baptist (Luke 1:19) and finally to the virgin Mary to tell her that she would conceive and bear a son (Luke 1:26–38).
