===Evangelical Christian traditions=== The image of Gabriel's trumpet blast to announce the end of time was taken up in [[Evangelical Christianity]], where it became widespread, notably in [[Negro spirituals]].<ref>The widespread understanding of Gabriel's horn as a symbol of the end of time in U.S. Southern culture, is apparent from its appearance in the University of Texas's school spirit song, ''[[The Eyes of Texas]]'' (1903): [https://texassports.com/sports/2013/7/28/traditions_0728131333.aspx?id=267"The eyes of Texas are upon you, until Gabriel blows his horn."] Likewise in [[Marc Connelly]]'s play based on negro spirituals, ''[[The Green Pastures]]'' (1930), Gabriel has his beloved trumpet constantly with him, and the Lord has to warn him not to blow it too soon.</ref> An earlier example occurs in [[John Milton]]'s ''[[Paradise Lost]]'' (1667):<ref name="svm" /><ref>Milton, ''Paradise Lost'', XI.72ff</ref> <blockquote><poem> Betwixt these rockie pillars Gabriel sat Chief of the Angelic guards (IV.545f) ... He ended, and the Son gave signal high To the bright minister that watch'd, he blew His trumpet, heard in Oreb since perhaps When God descended, and perhaps once more To sound at general doom. (XI.72ff). </poem></blockquote> It is unclear how the Armenian conception inspired Milton and the spirituals, though they presumably have a common source.<ref name="svm"/> ====Latter-day Saints==== In [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] theology, Gabriel is believed to have lived a mortal life as the prophet [[Noah]]. The two are regarded as the same individual; Noah being his mortal name and Gabriel being his heavenly name.<ref name=":1">{{citation |last= Skinner |first= Andrew C |author-link= Andrew C.
