Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Jibril is Arabic language for Gabriel (Red, or West, Fire), who is also considered archangel in much Jewish and Christian angelology. He is most noted in the Book of Revelation (formerly known as the Apocalypse of John) as the angel who will blow the horn announcing Judgement Day. Gabriel is most frequently confused with Michael (Blue, or East, Water), the angel who holds a sword and guards the gates of Eden (later heaven) against Adam, Eve, and their descendants. The other two main angels found in the literature are Raphael (Yellow, or South, Air) and Uriel (Green, or West, Earth). All four of these angels are invoked in some early Christian rites guarding the four quarters, or directions, and the colors associated with them are associated with their "magical" properties.
