Actually, I would have bedavka associated Gavriel with teva. Gevurah is
restraint, sharing with Din the property of being used as an antonym to
Chessed. Divine Restraint, Divine Law make me think of natural law. Now, had
the mal'akh been Micha'el, given the name of roughly "Mi keKeil", I would
think of HaGadol veHanorah, and nissim geluyim.

Tir'u baTov!
