But, what does the text say? I really believe that ancient Hebrews would not make an image of a heavenly being. Kinda non kosher.

If it is an unknown text, how do they know its prophecy,? Perhaps its just a wanted poster with long instructions on how to collect.

The title is misleading. You are right about pictorial depiction of a being, divine or otherwise, being considered among faithful ancient Jews as too close to idolatry for comfort.

It is ink on stone text most of which is gone or just barely legible. But it begins "I am Gabriel" and some part of it says "after three days you will live". There's no mention of challenges to it's age (as early as first century BC) but the article implies nothing like this, legible ink on a 3 meter (ten foot) tall ancient smooth stone tablet, has ever been found before.

[what's up]

The Book of Hebrews ch. 1 shows that there may have been a lot of angel worship around at that time. The intention of ch. 1 is to show that Jesus is superior to angels.

Gabriel appeared to Mary (Luke 2). Perhaps this sparked a surge in angel worship?
