Introduction:
The word "NUMBER" (a)riqmo/j ; also
once "to number/count" = a)riqme/w):
Rev 5:11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels surrounding
the throne and the living creatures and the elders; they numbered myriads
of myriads and thousands of thousands,
Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one
hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the people of Israel:
Rev 7:9 After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that
no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages,
standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches
in their hands.
Rev 9:16 The number of the troops of cavalry was two hundred
million; I heard their number.
Rev 13:17 so that no one can buy or sell who does not have the mark,
that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Rev 13:18 This calls for wisdom: let anyone with understanding calculate
the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person. Its number
is six hundred sixty-six.
Rev 15:2 And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mixed with fire,
and those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its
name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands.
Rev 20:8 and will come out to deceive the nations at the four corners
of the earth, Gog and Magog, in order to gather them for battle; they are as numerous as (lit. "their number being as .") the sands of the sea.
FRACTIONS (note that the Greek words for fractions are the same as the ordinal numbers):
One-Tenth (de/katoj):
Rev 11:13 At that moment there was a great earthquake, and a tenth
of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest
were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
One-Fourth (te/tartoj):
Rev 6:8 I looked and there was a pale green horse! Its rider's name
was Death, and Hades followed with him; they were given authority over a fourth
of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and pestilence, and by the wild animals
of the earth.
One-Third (tri/toj):
Rev 8:7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there came hail and fire,
mixed with blood, and they were hurled to the earth; and a third of the earth
was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass
was burned up.
Rev 8:9 A third of the sea became blood, a third of the
living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Rev 8:10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell
from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and
on the springs of water.
Rev 8:11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters
became wormwood, and many died from the water, because it was made bitter.
Rev 8:12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the
sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars,
so that a third of their light was darkened; a third of the day was
kept from shining, and likewise the night.
Rev 9:15 So the four angels were released, who had been held ready for
the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of humankind.
Rev 9:18 By these three plagues a third of humankind was killed,
by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.
Rev 12:4 His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and
threw them to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman who was about to
bear a child, so that he might devour her child as soon as it was born.
One-Half Hour (h(miw/rion; see also
3½):
Rev 8:1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in
heaven for about half an hour.
Three and One-Half (trei=j kai\ h(/misuj):
Rev 11:9 For three and a half days members of the peoples and
tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let
them be placed in a tomb;
Rev 11:11 But after the three and a half days, the breath of
life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and those who saw them
were terrified.
Rev 12:14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle,
so that she could fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to her place where she
is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time (kairo\n
kai\ kairouj kai\ h(/misu kairou=).
WHOLE NUMBERS (Cardinal & Ordinal):
One (e(/ij, mi/a, e(/n):
Rev 4:8 And the four living creatures, each of them (lit. "one-by-one")
with six wings, are full of eyes all around and inside. Day and night without ceasing
they sing, "Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to
come."
Rev 5:5 Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. See,
the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can
open the scroll and its seven seals."
Rev 6:1 Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and
I heard one of the four living creatures call out, as with a voice of thunder,
"Come!"
Rev 7:13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are
these, robed in white, and where have they come from?"
Rev 8:13 Then I looked, and I heard an (lit. "one") eagle
crying with a loud voice as it flew in midheaven, "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants
of the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about
to blow!"
Rev 9:12 The first woe (li. "one woe") has passed. There
are still two woes to come.
Rev 9:13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a
(lit. "one") voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God,
Rev 13:3 One of its heads seemed to have received a death-blow,
but its mortal wound had been healed. In amazement the whole earth followed the beast.
Rev 15:7 Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven
angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever;
Rev 17:1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls
came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great whore who is
seated on many waters,
Rev 17:10 of whom five have fallen, one is living, and the other
has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain only a little while.
Rev 17:12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not
yet received a kingdom, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour,
together with the beast.
Rev 17:13 These are united (lit. "these have one mind")
in yielding their power and authority to the beast;
Rev 17:17 For God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose
by agreeing (lit. "by having one mind") to give their kingdom to the
beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled.
Rev 18:8 therefore her plagues will come in a single day-- pestilence
and mourning and famine-- and she will be burned with fire; for mighty is the Lord
God who judges her."
Rev 18:10 they will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,
"Alas, alas, the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in one hour your
judgment has come."
Rev 18:17 For in one hour all this wealth has been laid waste!"
And all shipmasters and seafarers, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood
far off
Rev 18:19 And they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and mourned,
crying out, "Alas, alas, the great city, where all who had ships at sea grew rich
by her wealth! For in one hour she has been laid waste.
Rev 18:21 Then a (lit. "one") mighty angel took up a stone
like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "With such violence Babylon
the great city will be thrown down, and will be found no more;
Rev 19:17 Then I saw an (lit. "one") angel standing in
the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly in midheaven,
"Come, gather for the great supper of God,
Rev 21:9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls
full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride,
the wife of the Lamb."
Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each (lit.
"each one") of the gates is a single pearl, and the street of the city
is pure gold, transparent as glass.
First (prw=toj):
Rev 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn
(prwto/toktoj) of the dead, and the ruler of the kings
of the earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood,
Rev 1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he placed
his right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,
Rev 2:4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love
you had at first.
Rev 2:5 Remember then from what you have fallen; repent, and do the
works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand
from its place, unless you repent.
Rev 2:8 "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the
words of the first and the last, who was dead and came to life:
Rev 2:19 "I know your works--your love, faith, service, and patient
endurance. I know that your last works are greater than the first.
Rev 4:1 After this I looked, and there in heaven a door stood open!
And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said,
"Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this."
Rev 4:7 the first living creature like a lion, the second living
creature like an ox, the third living creature with a face like a human face, and
the fourth living creature like a flying eagle.
Rev 8:7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there came hail
and fire, mixed with blood, and they were hurled to the earth; and a third of the
earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass
was burned up.
Rev 13:12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast on
its behalf, and it makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast,
whose mortal wound had been healed.
Rev 16:2 So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth,
and a foul and painful sore came on those who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped
its image.
Rev 20:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand
years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection.
Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of
Christ, and they will reign with him a thousand years.
Rev 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first
heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
Rev 21:4 he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more;
mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed
away."
Rev 21:19 The foundations of the wall of the city are adorned with every
jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth
emerald,
Rev 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last,
the beginning and the end."
Last (e)/sxatoj):
Rev 1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he placed
his right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,
Rev 2:8 "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the
words of the first and the last, who was dead and came to life:
Rev 2:19 "I know your works--your love, faith, service, and patient
endurance. I know that your last works are greater than the first.
Rev 15:1 Then I saw another portent in heaven, great and amazing: seven
angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of
God is ended.
Rev 21:9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of
the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride,
the wife of the Lamb."
Rev 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last,
the beginning and the end."
Alpha & Omega (to\ a)/lfa kai\ to\
w)=):
Rev 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord
God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
Rev 21:6 Then he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and
the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as
a gift from the spring of the water of life.
Rev 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and
the last, the beginning and the end."
Two (du/o - see also 42, 1260, and
20,000 below):
Rev 1:16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and from his mouth came
a sharp, two-edged (di/stomoj) sword, and his face
was like the sun shining with full force.
Rev 2:12 "And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are
the words of him who has the sharp two-edged (di/stomoj)
sword:
Rev 9:12 The first woe has passed. There are still two woes to
come.
Rev 11:3 And I will grant my two witnesses authority to prophesy
for one thousand two hundred sixty days, wearing sackcloth."
Rev 11:4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands
that stand before the Lord of the earth.
Rev 11:10 and the inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and
celebrate and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment
to the inhabitants of the earth.
Rev 12:14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great
eagle, so that she could fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to her place where
she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.
Rev 13:11 Then I saw another beast that rose out of the earth; it had
two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet
who had performed in its presence the signs by which he deceived those who had received
the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown
alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
Second (deu/teroj):
Rev 2:11 Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying
to the churches. Whoever conquers will not be harmed by the second death.
Rev 4:7 the first living creature like a lion, the second living
creature like an ox, the third living creature with a face like a human face, and
the fourth living creature like a flying eagle.
Rev 6:3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second
living creature call out, "Come!"
Rev 8:8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like
a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea.
Rev 11:14 The second woe has passed. The third woe is coming
very soon.
Rev 14:8 Then another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Fallen,
Rev 16:3 The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it
became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing in the sea died.
Rev 19:3 Once more (lit. "a second time") they said, "Hallelujah!
The smoke goes up from her forever and ever."
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection.
Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God
and of Christ, and they will reign with him a thousand years.
Rev 20:14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This
is the second death, the lake of fire;
Rev 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, the murderers,
the fornicators, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all liars, their place will be
in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
Rev 21:19 The foundations of the wall of the city are adorned with every
jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth
emerald,
Three (trei=j - see also 3 ½):
Rev 6:6 and I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four
living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts
of barley for a day's pay, but do not damage the olive oil and the wine!"
Rev 8:13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice
as it flew in midheaven, "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, at the blasts
of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!"
Rev 9:18 By these three plagues a third of humankind was killed,
by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.
Rev 16:13 And I saw three foul spirits like frogs coming from
the mouth of the dragon, from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false
prophet.
Rev 16:19 The great city was split into three parts, and the
cities of the nations fell. God remembered great Babylon and gave her the wine-cup
of the fury of his wrath.
Rev 21:13 on the east three gates, on the north three
gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
Third (tri/toj - see also "one-third"
above):
Rev 4:7 the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature
like an ox, the third living creature with a face like a human face, and the
fourth living creature like a flying eagle.
Rev 6:5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third
living creature call out, "Come!" I looked, and there was a black horse! Its rider
held a pair of scales in his hand,
Rev 8:10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell
from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and
on the springs of water.
Rev 11:14 The second woe has passed. The third woe is coming
very soon.
Rev 14:9 Then another angel, a third, followed them, crying with
a loud voice, "Those who worship the beast and its image, and receive a mark on their
foreheads or on their hands,
Rev 16:4 The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and
the springs of water, and they became blood.
Rev 21:19 The foundations of the wall of the city are adorned with every
jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth
emerald,
Four (te/ssarej - see also "one-fourth"
above, and 24, 144, 144,000 below):
Rev 4:6 and in front of the throne there is something like a sea of
glass, like crystal. Around the throne, and on each side of the throne, are four
living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:
Rev 4:8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six
wings, are full of eyes all around and inside. Day and night without ceasing they
sing, "Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to come."
Rev 5:6 Then I saw between the throne and the four living creatures
and among the elders a Lamb standing as if it had been slaughtered, having seven
horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
Rev 5:8 When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures
and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls
full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Rev 5:14 And the four living creatures said, "Amen!" And the
elders fell down and worshiped.
Rev 6:1 Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and I heard
one of the four living creatures call out, as with a voice of thunder, "Come!"
Rev 6:6 and I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four
living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley
for a day's pay, but do not damage the olive oil and the wine!"
Rev 7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four
corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth so that no
wind could blow on earth or sea or against any tree.
Rev 7:2 I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having
the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels
who had been given power to damage earth and sea,
Rev 7:11 And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders
and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne
and worshiped God,
Rev 9:13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice
from the four horns of the golden altar before God,
Rev 9:14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the
four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."
Rev 9:15 So the four angels were released, who had been held
ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of humankind.
Rev 14:3 and they sing a new song before the throne and before the four
living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the one
hundred forty-four thousand who have been redeemed from the earth.
Rev 15:7 Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven
angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever;
Rev 19:4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures
fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!"
Rev 20:8 and will come out to deceive the nations at the four
corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, in order to gather them for battle; they are
as numerous as the sands of the sea.

of their light was darkened; a third of the day was kept from shining, and likewise

jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth
emerald,
Five (pe/nte):
Rev 9:5 They were allowed to torture them for five months, but
not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion when it stings
someone.
Rev 9:10 They have tails like scorpions, with stingers, and in their
tails is their power to harm people for five months.
Rev 17:10 of whom five have fallen, one is living, and the other
has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain only a little while.

that had fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the

voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God,

you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven

Rev 1:11 saying, "Write in a book what you see and send it to the seven
churches, to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia,
and to Laodicea."
Rev 1:12 Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me, and
on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,
Rev 1:16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and from his
mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining with full
force.
Rev 1:20 As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in
my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are
the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the
seven churches.
Rev 2:1 "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the
words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among
the seven golden lampstands:
Rev 3:1 "And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the
words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars:
"I know your works; you have a name of being alive, but you are dead.
Rev 4:5 Coming from the throne are flashes of lightning, and rumblings
and peals of thunder, and in front of the throne burn seven flaming torches,
which are the seven spirits of God;
Rev 5:1 Then I saw in the right hand of the one seated on the throne
a scroll written on the inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals;
Rev 5:5 Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. See, the Lion
of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the
scroll and its seven seals."
Rev 5:6 Then I saw between the throne and the four living creatures
and among the elders a Lamb standing as if it had been slaughtered, having seven
horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into
all the earth.
Rev 6:1 Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and
I heard one of the four living creatures call out, as with a voice of thunder, "Come!"
Rev 8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and
seven trumpets were given to them.
Rev 8:6 Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets
made ready to blow them.
Rev 10:3 he gave a great shout, like a lion roaring. And when he shouted,
the seven thunders sounded.
Rev 10:4 And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about
to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven
thunders have said, and do not write it down."
Rev 11:13 At that moment there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of
the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the
rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Rev 12:3 Then another portent appeared in heaven: a great red dragon,
with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
Rev 13:1 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea having ten horns and
seven heads; and on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads were blasphemous
names.
Rev 15:1 Then I saw another portent in heaven, great and amazing: seven
angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of
God is ended.
Rev 15:6 and out of the temple came the seven angels with the
seven plagues, robed in pure bright linen, with golden sashes across their
chests.
Rev 15:7 Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven
angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and
ever;
Rev 15:8 and the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God
and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues
of the seven angels were ended.
Rev 16:1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven
angels, "Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God."
Rev 17:1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven
bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great whore
who is seated on many waters,
Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into a wilderness, and
I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and
it had seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:7 But the angel said to me, "Why are you so amazed? I will tell
you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with sevenheads and ten horns
that carries her.
Rev 17:9 "This calls for a mind that has wisdom: the seven heads
