It is Gabriel. The answer is given a little earlier: Daniel 9:21: ...while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. It could not have been Michael, since the man in the vision refers to Michael in verses 13 and 21.

The Rabbinic interpretation is: Messianic "Ancient of Days" is a name of God "son of man" is a mistranslation The term "ben adam" or "bar enosh" is used in OT Hebrew to mean a mortal, fallible human being.

I go back and forth on my interpretation of Gen 6:1-4 as to if it is fallen angels or people. Fallen angels is certainly a view with history. That is the interpretation that the authors of 1 Enoch had (see especially Book of the Watchers).

In both Ezekiel 4:6 and Numbers 14:34, the expansion of "days into years" stemmed from the iniquity of the Israelites ...

Joshua 20:6 (NKJV) "And he shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for ...

It seems best to take 'judgement' as including a eternal aspect. Common sense about judgment and the text before us lends itself to this conclusion.
