Eighty. In three days, live, I Gabriel command you.
Eighty-one. Prince of the princes, the dung of the rocky crevices.
The "Gabriel Vision," also known as the "Revelation of Gabriel" or "Hazon Gabriel," refers to a fascinating archaeological artifact discovered in 2007. A Bedouin shepherd near the Dead Sea in Jordan discovered the stone tablet. The shepherd reportedly stumbled upon a cave containing several artifacts, including the stone tablet. It is an ancient limestone tablet covered with a mysterious Hebrew script, written in ink. It features the archangel Gabriel at the center of this newly discovered text. The stone tablet was likely part of a larger inscription, containing text written in Hebrew.
The so-called Gabriel Stone, a meter (three-foot)-tall tablet said to have been found on the banks of the Dead Sea, features lines of an unknown prophetic text dated as early as the first century BC, at the time of the Second Jewish Temple. This falls in line with the dates suggested for the writing of some of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Remarkably, the stone contains a command from the archangel, Gabriel, to an unnamed Messianic figure (or his decomposing corps) that in three days, he will live again. Was this a prophecy for Jesus, or a command to an unknown Jewish leader?
