The angel Gabriel, along with Angel michael and lucifer, is one of the now 2 cherubim of God, God's highest angels and protectors. lucifer was, as the bible states, the most brilliant and beautiful of all the angels, closest to God in regards to power and likeness. However he was still a created being from the hands of God and was cast down after becoming full of pride and wanting to overthrow God's kingdom and throne. so that left the two, michael and gabriel.

n Abrahamic religions, Gabriel (×Ö·Ö¼×ְרִ××Öµ×, Standard Hebrew Gavriʼel, Latin Gabrielus, Greek ÎαβÏιήλ, Tiberian Hebrew Gaá¸rîʼÄl, Arabic جبرÙÙ JibrÄ«l or Jibrail, literally "Master, of God", i.e., a Master, who is "of God") is an Archangel who is thought to serve as a messenger from God ("angel" literally translates to "messenger" from the Koine Greek; an "arch" angel is a "primary" or "chief" messenger). He first appears in the Book of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible. He was also referred to as the "Left Hand of God".[citation needed] Christians believe him to have foretold the births of John the Baptist and Jesus, and Muslims believe he was the medium through which God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad.
In Biblical tradition, he is sometimes regarded as the angel of death or one of God's messengers; also, as the angel of fire and snow who rides the sword[citation needed]. The Talmud described him as the only angel that can speak Syriac and Chaldee. In Islam, Gabriel is one of God's chief messengers but other above mentioned titles are not given to him (for example the angel of death is Azrael).
In the Catholic Tradition, he is known as one of the Archangels. In Islam, he is called the chief of the four favoured angels and the spirit of truth, and in some views Gabriel is the same person as the Holy Spirit. Gabriel also finds mention in the writings of the Bahá'à Faith, most notably in Bahá'u'lláh's metaphysical work The Seven Valleys and the Four Valleys.
In the New Testament, Gabriel is the angel who comes with/in the Holy Spirit and reveals to Zacharias that John the Baptist will be born to Elizabeth and who visits Mary to reveal that she will give birth to Jesus. According to later legend, he is the unidentified angel in the Book of Revelation (formerly known as the Apocalypse of John) who blows the horn announcing the Judgment Day. To both Catholics and the Orthodox, he is St. Gabriel the Archangel, known to some as the patron saint of communications workers. With Michael and Raphael, his feast day is September 29.
Gabriel's visit to Mary in the Gospel of Luke is often called "The Annunciation," (Luke 1:26 et al.), an event that is celebrated on March 25. It is also commemorated as the "First Joyful Mystery" each time the rosary is prayed.
Gabriel also visited Joseph. After learning about Mary's pregnancy, Joseph considered calling off the marriage, but Gabriel appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him that the conception was caused by the Holy Spirit.

Don't know who angel gabriel is but Archangel Gabriel is mentioned in the bible. Alot of people believe him to be a messenger of god. As a Catholic he is the Patron saint of mail people and people that do like telephone operator. He is believed to be the one who appeared to Muhommad and had him write the koran. I don't know of anyone seeing him recently. He is described as being kind of feminish for a lack of better words. Don't have any idea of size. definetly bigger than me.

He is Noah. (Gabriel was his name in the Pre-Mortal existence). Just like Adam's premortal name was Michael...
He is in form like a man (angels don't have wings)
