Revelation 15:7 the word “one” is the 7,666 word in the book.

Revelation 7:1 is the 7,666 verse in the New Testament

I may have been one off in my post above about Rev 6:17, so I’ll hedge here and join you and also state Rev 7:1 in case Rev 6:17 was a verse off.

I could certainly be off, but I don’t think there’s much significance in these numbers. At the end of the day I’ve probably read Revalation a dozen times trying to figure this out and that’s far more significant than either the riddle or the prize:

“Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” Rev. 1:3.

I couldn’t agree with you more. It had been far too long since I had read Revalation from front to back in one sitting.

7 angels. The 6th angel poured out his vial, three unclean spirits came out of the mouth of the
1: dragon
2: beast

3: His feet as pillars of fire

John's letter to the 7 churches, book with 7 seals.

It's about the angels in the book of Revelation.

From the Holy Bible (The KJV), in the Book of Revelation, the word "angel" or "angels" is mentioned a total of 76 times. All of the references are cited below.

ANGEL(S): Revelation 1:1, 20 || 2:1, 8, 12, 18 || 3:1, 5, 7, 14 || 5:2, 11 || 7:1, 2(x2), 11 || 8:2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13(x2) || 9:1, 11, 13, 14(x2), 15 || 10:1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 || 11:1, 15 || 12:7(x2), 9 || 14:6, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17, 18, 19 || 15:1, 6, 7, 8 || 16:1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 17 || 17:1, 7 || 18:1, 21 || 19:17 || 20:1 || 21:9, 12, 17 || 22:6, 8, 16

However, not all are distinct angels. Many are overlapped/the same. For example, the seven angels of the seven churches. They are mentioned initially in Rev 1:20 as a group. They then are mentioned separately in subsequent verses/chapters. So, the number is 7, and not 14, different angels.

Another example is the 7 angels of the 7 trumpets are mentioned at the beginning of chapter eight (Rev 8:2). Subsequently, they are mentioned separately in the chapter. So, there are only 7 distinct angels, not 14.

Another example is the angel in the last chapter (Rev 22:6, 8, and 16). This angel is the same angel from chapter one (Rev 1:1), so he counts only as one, although he was mentioned a total of four times.

Also, where there are mentions of “angels” without a specific number given, I count them as one.

So, by my evaluation, there are 66 distinct angels in the Book of Revelation. Here are what I came up with.

1:1 - one angel
1:20- seven (angels of the 7 churches)
3:5 - one (plural angels counted as one, since a specific number is not given)
5:2 – one
5:11- one (plural angels counted as one)
7:1 – four (same as the 4 angels in 7:2. So, it’s 4, and not 8, angels)
7:2 - one
7:11- one (plural angels counted as one)
8:2 - seven (angels of the 7 trumpets)
8:3 - one
8:13- one (in KJV). It’s an eagle in most other newer versions, so you would have missed this one, if you used these versions instead of KJV.
9:11- one
9:14- four
10:1- one
11:1- one
12:7- one (Michael and "his angels" will be counted as one, since the actual number is unknown)
12:7- one (The dragon and "his angels" will be counted as one, since the actual number is unknown)
14:6- one
14:8- one
14:9- one
14:10-one ("holy angels" will be counted as one, since the actual number is unknown)
14:15-one
14:17-one
14:18-one
15:1 -seven (angels of the 7 last plagues)
18:1 -one
18:21-one
19:17-one
20:1 -one
21:12-twelve
21:17-one

Adding them all up, and the number is 66. Now, whether you agree or not is a discussion for another time.

Nobody got the correct answer. However, I picked those who referenced the angels in Revelation as close enough, then did a random drawing of the winner from the pile. The following 8 names were included in the pile.

Congrats benny6. Thank you Q for doing this again. It was a lot of fun and got me to break out my bible for the first time in a while. Kind of a funny side note, the night before you posted this, I was actually thinking of some of your other contests from the past and how much fun they were. Woke up the next morning and this was on the board.
