In Prophecy Gabriel was leading an all out  War in Heaven 2 because he was jealous of mankind. In Constantine, Gabriel was trying to make humankind more worthy of God's love, not as much begrudging it. Also, Constantine was (unsurprsingly) really about Constantine and his life and struggles, whereas Prophecy was primarily about the second war in heaven.Also as has been mentioned the actual story in Constantine was based on the comic story which predates Prophecy.One odd note tho...was the Gabriel in Constantine actually the semi-biblical Gabriel? Constantine's Gabriel was supposed to be a "halfbreed" (although I hate the use of that term in that movie...halfbreed implies, obviously, that they were part angel or demon and part human, but most of them seemed to be simply angels or demons in human forms, on earth) so this makes it hard to say if they are indeed the same character.I wonder if that whole "halfbreed" crud is in the comics? I doubt it since its the same cosmology as the Sandman, where the concept doesnt exist..</blockquote>
