Before Christ’s crucifixion, he said if he asked his Father, he’d have 12 legions of angels dispatched to him (Mat 26:53). A legion was a Roman term at the time. It consisted of 6,000 men, often more. So Jesus was talking about 72,000 angels or more. This number is only about 3–4% of the size of metro Denver, Colorado USA, where I live.
It is not a really huge number, comparatively speaking.
