A Few Thoughts/Questions about Gabriel

These are random, but may help to develop your thoughts/reactions.

What is the importance of the number 3? How many things does it qualify/modify?

The word for angel and messenger are the same in Hebrew. An angel is simply a messenger from God.

What details suggest war imagery on this stone? There is blood and chariots, but does the passage seem to develop the idea in any way?

Line 85 says, "Then you will stand". The phrase is isolated, but think about other moments in scripture where standing is important, in both the Christian an Hebrew scriptures.
