Gabriel carries an ordinal value of 54, reducing to Nine, a number tied to completion and compassion. Its reverse ordinal of 135 sits well above its forward ordinal of 54, a sign that most of its letters fall early in the alphabet. The Chaldean system gives 17, which reduces to Eight and so reads differently from the standard total.
Gabriel is Hebrew, usually explained as "God is my strength" or "strong man of God." The archangel Gabriel is the messenger of the Book of Daniel and of the Annunciation in the Gospel of Luke, and appears in Islamic tradition as Jibril.
In tradition. In the Gospel of Luke, Gabriel announces to Mary that she will bear Jesus, an event celebrated as the Annunciation on 25 March. In Islam, Jibril is the angel through whom the Quran is said to have been revealed to Muhammad.
How Gabriel adds up
