(Job 38:7; Psalm 148:1-3). If Clement is correct, the number of angels would exceed the stars visible to the human eye. Scientists say the total number of stars in the universe may run into the billions.5 Actually Scripture does not tell us precisely how many angels there are. Nevertheless, it indicates that their number is vast indeed. Scripture makes reference to “a multitude of the heavenly host” (Luke 2:13), and the angels are spoken of as “twice ten thousand, thousands upon thousands” (Psalm 68:17).
