GABRIEL
encounter with
DANIEL -
(Dan 8:15-16, 9:20-22)
![Page 8: The Method Sermon Dec 20 2015](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051502/58ed61701a28ab7b1a8b45cb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and
trying to understand it, there before me stood
one who looked like a man. And I heard a
man's voice from the Ulai calling, "Gabriel,
tell this man the meaning of the vision."
Daniel 8:15-16
Gabriel then explained the vision. Later,
Gabriel came to Daniel again to explain
another difficult prophecy: "while I was still in
prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the
earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about
the time of the evening sacrifice."
Daniel 9:21,

GABRIEL
encounter with
DANIEL - (Dan 8:15-16,
9:20-22)
ZECHARIAH - Luke 1 :5-25

The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the
presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to
you and to tell you this good news. 20 And now you
will be silent and not able to speak until the day this
happens, because you did not believe my words,
which will come true at their appointed time.”
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for
Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in
the temple. 22 When he came out, he could not
speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision
in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but
remained unable to speak.
23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home.
24 After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five
months remained in seclusion. 25 “The Lord has done this for
me,” she said. “In these days he has shown his favor and taken
away my disgrace among the people.”
