Well, the phrase "the seven angels" was not used before 8:2. So, 8:2 is referring to "the" seven angels "who stand before God" as if we already know about them. The word "the" was not merely supplied by the translator to convey what the translator believed to be the correct meaning of the Greek text. And, the definite article "the" is in the Greek text In Revelation 8:2, John wrote that he saw " the seven angels who stand before God". Well, an angel is a spirit (Hebrews 1:13-14). Each of these angels blows one of the seven trumpets (Revelation 8:6,7,8,10,12 9:1,13 11:7).Īre "the seven angels who stand before God" in 8:2 the same as "the seven Spirits who are before his throne" in 1:4? The only difference is that 8:2 calls them angels while 1:4 calls them Spirits. There are seven angels who stand before God.
