Gabriel is not referred to as an archangel in the Hebrew Bible or the New Testament. However, a wealth of Jewish literature was written during the Second Temple period (516 BC–70 AD). Much of the literature produced during this intertestamental period was of the apocalyptic genre.
While the term "archangel" isn't directly applied to Gabriel in Scripture as it is to Michael, Gabriel's prominent role and the nature of his missions have led theologians to classify him among the highest-ranking angels.
What does the Bible say about the angel Gabriel? The angel Gabriel is a messenger who was entrusted to deliver several important messages on God’s behalf.
Gabriel is one of only two angels explicitly named in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures. His name, derived from the Hebrew “גַּבְרִיאֵל” (Gavriʾel), is often understood to mean “God is my strength” or “mighty one of God.”
Gabriel, in the three Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—was one of the archangels. He was employed to announce the birth of John the Baptist to Zechariah and to announce the birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary.
