Our evidence standardsEnglish wording counts
Heaven in Scripture
King James Version (1769 standardized, eBible eng-kjv2006) · 66 books · 31,102 verses
How words are matched: whole-word, case-insensitive word/phrase matches, including possessive forms and words the KJV prints as translator-supplied italics. So KJV “heaven” and “kingdom of heaven” both include Matthew 19:12’s “kingdom of heaven’s sake”; “heavenly” and “archangel” are not counted as “heaven” or “angel”. These are not strict exact-spelling totals.
Heaven & heavens716“heaven” or “heavens” word matches, incl. possessives and sky sensesAngels297“angel” or “angels” word matches, incl. possessivesKingdom of heaven33Phrase matches, incl. “kingdom of heaven’s sake”Angelic terms396Angel, archangel, cherub, seraph word formsCherubim95Cherub word formsSeraphim2Seraph word formsParadise3Word matches, incl. possessivesNew Jerusalem2Phrase matches, incl. possessives
The phrase “angelic beings” (possessives included) appears 0 times in the KJV; see angelic terms instead. These are counts of English wording in one edition—not every conceptual reference, an original-language concordance, a number of beings, or proof of doctrine. Themes overlap and are never added together.
