Revelation
Rev.7
[1] And after these things I saw four angels standing on
the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the
earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the
sea, nor on any tree.
[2] And I saw another angel ascending from the east,
having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice
to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and
the sea,
[3] Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the
trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their
foreheads.
[4] And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and
there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all
the tribes of the children of Israel.
[5] Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of
the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
[6] Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of
the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe
of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
[7] Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of
the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
[8] Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe
of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
[9] After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which
no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people,
and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
[10] And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our
God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
[11] And all the angels stood round about the throne, and
about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne
on their faces, and worshipped God,
[12] Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and
thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God
for ever and ever. Amen.
[13] And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What
are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came
they?
[14] And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said
to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and
have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the
Lamb.
[15] Therefore are they before the throne of God, and
serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the
throne shall dwell among them.
[16] They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more;
neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
[17] For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne
shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of
waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
