Seven Blessings in Revelation

In Revelation, God promises His blessing seven times (a symbolically significant number):


1.       to those who hear and hold Revelation’s message (Rev. 1:3; 22:7), (2 here)

2.       who die “in the Lord” (14:13), 

3.       who stay awake and alert (16:15), 

4.       who attend the Lamb’s marriage supper (19:9), 

5.       who share the first resurrection (20:6), 

6.       and who wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb (22:14; see 7:15).

  3. Mike, actually it is correct, although the numbering makes it weird. The first entry occurs twice to make the total 7.
