Brilliant Evening Stars are the liaison officers for Gabriel. [1] The presidents of the hundred councils of supreme sanctions compose the cabinet of work of Gabriel. [2] Since Gabriel cannot be in two places at once the Bright Evening Stars compensate for that limitation. [3] Father Melchizedek is Gabriel's first assistant. [4] The Melchizedeks are his chief aids. [5] Mortals rarely meet Gabriel. [6] The Most High executive is the one who represents Gabriel in Norlatiadek. [7] He is never away from Salvington when Father Melchizedek is also away. [8]
Gabriel is an administrator, not a creator. [9] It is the Bright and Morning Star, the only one in Nebadon, and belongs to this order of beings. [10] He is the chief executive of Nebadon; he also represents the Ancients of Days. [11] He is the ex officio president of most Salvington conclaves, councils, and tribunals. [12] He is the firstborn of Michael and the Mother Spirit. [13] He is like Michael in divinity but is limited in his Deity attributes. [14] The Planetary Princes are under his jurisdiction. [15] Gabriel is the supreme commander of the armies of heaven. [16] If Michael ever left Nebadon for outer space Gabriel would no doubt become the chief administrator of Nebadon. [17]
He appealed to Ancients of Days for the destruction of the rebels 200,000 years ago. [18] He appeared before Adam and Eve to pronounce the verdict to their transgression. [19] Approved Melchizedek's emergency donation. [20] On a visit to Jerusem Gabriel was certain that Lucifer would soon rebel. [21] He has been closely identified with Urantia since Michael's donation. [22] The first hearing in the case against Lucifer has been held recently. [23] Has participated in Miguel's bestowals with him. [24] Matters related to dispensational judgments and resurrections has been delegated to him. [25] Part III of The Urantia Book is written on the authority of Gabriel. [26] He presided over the Salvington council during the time Jesus was in the tomb. [27] When Michael is absent from Salvington Gabriel acts as regent of the local universe. [28] The "Michael Memorial" on Jerusem bears the seal of Gabriel. [29] The empty temple of the finaliters located on Jerusem also bears the seal of Gabriel. [30] He supervises the courts of Nebadon. [31] Gabriel directed a ceaseless exposition of rebellious sophistries from his established headquarters on Jerusem. [32] He worked quite alone with Michael and Mother Spirit in the early days of local universe construction. [33]
He chose the Jews as the race for the incarnation of Michael. [34] Emmanuel committed safekeeping of Michael to Gabriel at the time of incarnation. [35] He appeared to Elizabeth in June 8 B.C. [36] Gabriel was the one who asked Elizabeth to call her son John. [37] He appeared to Mary in November 8 B.C. [38] Gabriel was the one who asked Mary to name her son Jesus, “Joshua”. [39] Jesus only learned about Gabriel's visit to Mary at her baptism. [40] He re-established communication and was reunited with Michael after Jesus' baptism. [41]
He was with Jesus on the mount of transfiguration, bringing him the news of the acceptance by the Eternal Son of his donation and the satisfaction of the Infinite Spirit. [42] He was on Urantia during the crucifixion. [43] He was with Jesus during his morontia transit. [44]
In New Zealand a tribe adopted a Christianity that supposedly received revelations from Gabriel that relaxed sexual practices. This religious movement is called Pai Marire or Hauhau. [45]
