Gabriel is powerful without plot armour + yapping about angels

Like seriously, Gabriel kills far more people than Michael in the bible.

Gabriel got the Nephilim to wage war against one another through his words.

Gabriel is also the one who went to judge Sodom and Gomorrah and destroy those fucking places. 💀

Gabriel is also attributed to soloing the 185,000 Babylonian soldiers in one night.

According to Sahih al-Bukhari, Angel Jibril appeared to Prophet Muhammad to initiate the march against the Banu Qurayzah, expressing that he himself had not yet laid down his arms. During the Battle of Badr, the Prophet described witnessing Jibril, fully equipped for battle, holding his horse's head.

The only anti-feats I could think of is Gabriel being caught up with the Prince of Babylon, another angel that is basically like the spirit/guardian of the nation. Which tbf, feels more an administrative issue, and I know Gabriel probably wasn't commanded to solo the Prince of Babylon in Daniel.

He literally is the angel of Gevurah(strength, discipline, severity, and judgement) and Yesod(foundation, the bridge between heaven and earth) meanwhile Michael is Malchut(Kingdom) or Chesed(Mercy, Loving-Kindness, Kindness)

Michael and Gabriel are always paired together because Chesed and Gevurah balance each other out, which tbf, probably why they are mostly together in many traditions.

Cuz imagine if Gabriel isn't balanced out by Michael, bro would be another Samael/Satan. 💀

Cuz Samael is the unbalanced and harsher version of the Gevurah that Gabriel represents.

Some say Samael's fall is an allegory to him being unbalanced by Chesed, and so he really goes on deep into severity and judgement.

Hence why he is the Head Satan(Adversary), with his own gang of Satans.

But modern times, we see Gabriel being represented as gentle and nice, which I think is normal for messengers and angelic diplomats.

Tbf, he did say 'Do not be Afraid'

Well, I would be afraid ngl. Especially, when there are also some stories of the archangels getting rid of their humanoid disguises and revealing themselves an eldritch form.

There are also some sources say that when angels visit earth, they put on dust and air as a disguise. So I guess, now we know angels wear dust and air as garments while visiting earth, is that what their humanoid forms are made of? :o

I guess the angels that went to Sodom and Gomorrah, were either the humanoid kinds or the ones that actually just wear a human disguise and just eat and drink with Lot.

Do they just decinterate the food in their "bodies" or did they just instantly let it slide out.

We all know humans were made of dust, according to the Genesis story, but I wonder if they used air and dust to try to replicate human form.

Angels are the rl mimicks then.
