Abstract

This essay investigates the nature and function of the composition of Revelation. It discusses how the existing perspective on the three septets in the book could be meaningfully expanded to include the septet of angels in Revelation 14:5–20. Attempts to explain the composition of the book and the significance of composition for the interpretation of the book are noted. The relationship between the septets of seals (Rev.6, 8:1–5) and angels (Rev.14:5–20) and its implications for the composition of Revelation are then discussed. The implications of this link for the understanding of the book are then developed.
