προφητῶν (propheton) in Revelation 22:6: Noun Genitive Plural Masculine

τῶν ἁγίων

The genitive phrase is attached to Θεὸς and identifies God in relation to the holy prophets. The surrounding wording most naturally reads as a descriptive link rather than a standalone statement about the noun by itself.

It functions as part of a genitive phrase that specifies which prophets are in view, namely the holy prophets connected to God. The form supports the larger claim that God sent the angel for a prophetic purpose.

It does not by itself make the prophets the subject or the main action. It also does not require a special hidden meaning beyond the relational sense supplied by the sentence.

Prophets genitive becomes a hidden hierarchy or status claim: The form marks relation in the authority phrase; the verse controls what is asserted.

The form is attested here in Revelation 22:6 in the phrase Θεὸς τῶν ἁγίων προφητῶν, so the immediate context is decisive for its function.

The lemma προφήτης refers to a prophet, an inspired speaker, or one who speaks forth divine message, and the form keeps that lexical identity in view.

Because the noun is genitive plural, it most naturally depends on the nearby head noun Θεὸς and helps describe God's relation to the prophets without taking over the sentence.

In this verse the phrase presents God as the one associated with the holy prophets, reinforcing the authority of the message and the sending of the angel.

This fits the broader biblical pattern in which prophets are linked to God's revealed word and mission, while the sentence centers on God's action of sending.

For communication, the form helps translators and readers keep the phrase as a relational modifier, not as a new clause or separate assertion.

Do not derive a claim that the form itself defines the prophets' status beyond the immediate context, or that grammatical gender carries a theological point.
