Line 6:
In the direct-to-video sequel ''The Prophecy II'' (1998), Gabriel is returned to Earth ({{spoiler|after being taken down to [[Hell]] by Lucifer in the first film}}). This time around, he tries to prevent the birth of a [[Half-Human Hybrid|Nephilim]] (the offspring of a human woman and an angel) who is prophesized to finally bring the War in Heaven to an end. The Nephilim in question has just been conceived by the angel Danyael (Russel Wong) and hospital nurse Valerie Rosales (Jennifer Beals). Gabriel enlists the aid of a teenage girl named Izzy ([[Brittany Murphy]]), whom he resurrects after she commits suicide. {{spoiler|Everything comes to a head in the dilapidated Garden of Eden when Gabriel kills Danyael in battle, only to be defeated by Valerie and [[Brought Down to Normal|turned human]] by the [[Archangel Michael]] (Eric Roberts)}}.
 
The third film (and the last one to star [[Christopher Walken]]), ''The Prophecy III: The Ascent'' (2000), is set about twenty years after the second. Danyael Rosales (Dave Buzzotta), the half-human/half-angel son of Valerie and Danyael conceived in the second film, is preaching to a crowd about how God doesn't exist when he is shot dead by a blind attendee (played by [[ChildsChild's Play (TV series)||Brad Dourif]]), only to later [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|come back to life]]. Danyael then learns of his true heritage and his destiny to end the War in Heaven, and sets out to stop [[Big Bad|Pyriel]] (Scott Cleverdon), the Angel of Genocide. He is aided in his mission by a reformed Gabriel (now acting as [[The Obi-Wan]]) while being hunted by [[The Dragon|Zophael]] (Vincent Spano), an angel who takes Danyael's girlfriend Maggie (Karyn Ann Butler) captive and deceives her into thinking that Danyael [[Came Back Wrong]].
 
There were two additional sequels, ''The Prophecy: Uprising'' and ''The Prophecy: Forsaken'', that were both released in 2005.

{{quote|'''Gabriel''': (''to Catherine'') I'm an angel. I kill firstborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from little girls. And from now till kingdom come, the only thing you can count on in your existence...is never understanding ''why''.}}
