Just Gabriel. And look at the whole Abrahamic thing as a book series.

I meant if we look at Judaism he is generally accepted as “the man in linen”, so he was involved with the whole prophet stuff.

And then he told Mary that she was going to get pregnant, and quite possibly served as the vessel for the Grace of the Holy Spirit, if ya know what I mean… 

And then he tells Mohammed that everyone fucked up and it’s now his duty to spread the True Word of God and then bam, Islam.

Now if you look at that, you’re left with two options:

• The Angels have no idea what they’re doing anymore.

or

• Gabriel is Fallen now and Fell somewhere between Old Testament and Qu’ran and he’s just trolololing everywhere.

I strongly lean towards the first option, and I’d go into greater detail about my feelings on the subjects above… but I find I am also struck momentarily dumb by the image of Gabriel as ‘grace vessel.’

Do you know how weird biblical art would be then?

Damn right you brought her a flower, Gabriel. That whole ‘fear not, Mary’ number isn’t gonna cut it.

I’ll be honest.

I’ve always been confused by Biblical imagery of the Annunciation. Gabriel, generally known as being one of the three big bad boys of God (second only to Michael and barely above Raphael in terms of smiting), appears to the Virgin Mary with a flower, announcing she is now pregnant and not to fear… and what kind of flower?

A lily. A white lily.

I don’t think I need to tell you the sketchiness of the flower choice in the whole situation. Almost gives me nostalgia.

This is one of those situations where I could logically debate the use of the white lily symbolism in art. (White to represent purity, shape of the petals represent radiance, already associated with procreation, etc, etc.)

or

I COULD POINT OUT THAT GABRIEL HAS NO EXTERNAL GENITALIA SO WHATEVER HAPPENED IN THIS SICK BLASPHEMOUS SCENARIO WOULD BE EVEN STRANGER.

I’m fucking clutching my pearls, Carpeumbra.

I was implying that someone decided to pull the old switcheroo in the event Gabriel wasn’t fallen. Because you know what sounds similar to Lilies? *HACKINGCOUGH*

I mean there’s also the whole fact how flowers are actually genitals… And you know what else is white? ;D

And actually isn’t it generally accepted Gabriel is actually a girl as far as how he appears? Because reasons and Geburah and Qabbalah and the Pillar of Severity and the Feminine and stuff? And you know that as an Archetypal Being he can manifest with whatever genitalia he so desires!

Woooooo blasphemy!
