Revelation 7
- 1After this I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that the wind should not blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.
- 2And I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels who were given power to harm the earth and the sea,
- 3Saying, Do not harm the earth, or the sea, or the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.
- 4And I heard the number of those who were sealed. A hundred forty-four thousand were sealed from all the tribes of the children of Israel.
- 5Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
- 6Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand.
- 7Of 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.
- 8Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
- 9After this I looked, and there was a great crowd, which no one could number, of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palm branches in their hands.
- 10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.
- 11And all the angels stood around the throne, and around the elders and the four living creatures, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshiped God,
- 12Saying, Amen. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen.
- 13And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these who are clothed in white robes, and from where did they come?
- 14And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are those who came out of the great suffering, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
- 15Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple. And he who sits on the throne will live among them.
- 16They will hunger no more, neither thirst any more. Neither will the sun strike them, or any heat.
- 17For the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne will care for them as a shepherd, and will lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.
