December 28 (ታኅሳስ 19) - The feast of #Saint #Gabriel the Archangel Beloved and respected, all our members who follow the orthodox education that we convey on John Repentance page; As mentioned in the title, we have sent you the following important lesson about the anniversary of the Archangel Gabriel, which is celebrated on December 28, so we entrust you all to read and learn from it. St. Gabriel is the 2nd ranked angel power after St. Michael among the 7 archangels. He is described in the scriptures equally as the Archangel Michael in his intercession and mediation. Gabriel means servant and messenger of God. He is given this mysterious name because it is often revealed in the form of a human being and conveys God's message or God's will to mankind. In the place where the angels were created, when God, who created them, disappeared from their eyes in an instant to ensure the stability of their religion. Then question arose in the society of angels: 'Who created us?', 'Where did we come from?' At this time, the father of destruction, the devil, boldly and defiantly said, "I have created you." But the angel Saint Gabriel calmed down the association of countless holy angels by saying that we should stand firm where we are. Because of this, as it is written on John 1:14, 'The Word became flesh', he was chosen to announce to the Virgin that the Son of God will come down from heaven and be born as a man from the Virgin Mary. The angel Gabriel said to the her, "Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will call his name Jesus. He is great. He will be called the Son of the Most High (Luke 1:31). Now that we have learned something about the Archangel, we will proceed with today's feast. This is the miracle he performed on December 28th: Saint Gabriel saved the three men named Ananya, Azaria, and Misael (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) from the furnace fire. If you ask how this happened, when they were living in captivity in Persian Babylon, King Nebuchadnezzar made Daniel the fourth and placed them in the palace to learn wisdom from Babylon. Meldar, their steward, offered them meat and wine in goblets. They said, "We will not eat this. Give us some grain and good water." He said to them, "If the king sees your weight loss, he will be angry." They said give us a date. He gave them 10 days. They ate grains and drank water, and they were more handsome and bright than those who ate meat and drank wine. While they were learning, the Lord revealed his wisdom to them and they became wise, especially Daniel who enterpreted the king's vision. Then because of this, the king appointed them in three states. But the Babylonians were jealous of this and thought of a reason to quarrel with the king. They said to the king, make a picture of yourself so you can distinguish between your friend and your enemy. He made a gold statue 60 cubits high and 6 cubits wide and placed it in the field of Aduran and proclaimed that those who do not bow to it will be punished. When everybody bowed down, they (Ananya, Azariah, and Mishael) said, "We will not bow down." And the Babylonians went and told the king. The king then ordered they be brought before him for questioning. He asked them 'Do you say that we should not worship?' They said yes. 'Who will save you?' They said to him "the God that created us will save us." He kindled a fire, and the flame became 49 cubits. After this, he selected the mighty ones and threw the three into the fire. The soldiers who pushed them to fire were burned but for the three (Ananya, Azariah, Misael) the angel Gabriel came down and touched the fire with his rod, it turned into water. When the Babylonians saw that the fire was extinguished, they added more fire to it and activated the burn. But they (Ananya, Azariah, Mishael) spent the night singing praises to God without being burned. December 28 (ታኅሳስ 19) - The feast of #Saint #Gabriel the Archangel In the morning, when Nebuchadnezzar looked from his balcony, he saw four of them walking in the fire. Yesterday we tied three men and threw them out of the fiery furnace, but today I see four of them released and walking in the fire. And immediately he went out of the oven and said to them, come out. They ran out. Not even an ash was found on their clothes. Nebuchadnezzar saw this and said, "Praise be to God, the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who sent his angel and saved the poor." 'King, do you think it's true? It was because of their magic' said the Babylonians. And the king said 'If by magic, save yourselves by your magic for there is none greater than you, and then added the Babylonians to the fire and burned them. And the king returned the decree with a decree saying that there is no one who can save except the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

In general, we find this angel's intercession and guardianship in many readings of the holy books; God has helpes us to write to you on the occasion of the annual holiday that we celebrate today, December 28, so that we may all receive the intercession and blessings of the angel Saint Gabriel. Therefore, if the Lord God had not sent his angels to protect us night and morning, day and night, on the road, when we sleep at home and when we get up, Satan's army would have prevent us from having life in this world and the next . God's prophet, Saint David, said, "No calamity will enter your house. He will raise up angels for you to guard you on your way. They will lift you up with their hands so that your feet will not stumble over a stone..." Telling us about the guardianship and protection of angels. In another paragraph, he said, "God's angel will live around those who fear him, and will save them." He said that angels will save people who believe in the guardianship and intercession of angels, and that they will save us from physical and spiritual suffering. (Ps 33:7, 90/91:10') Since angels are appointed to have authority over all creatures, the prophet Enoch told us about the power of intercessor and guardianship of Saint Gabriel saying that he is one of the noble angels appointed over the serpents, the righteous in heaven, and the cherubim.
