7Revelation 7

1After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.Select Revelation 7:1

2I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,Select Revelation 7:2

3saying, “Don’t harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!”Select Revelation 7:3

4I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:Select Revelation 7:4

5of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,Select Revelation 7:5

6of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,Select Revelation 7:6

7of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,Select Revelation 7:7

8of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.Select Revelation 7:8

9After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.Select Revelation 7:9

10They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”Select Revelation 7:10

11All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God,Select Revelation 7:11

12saying, “Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”Select Revelation 7:12

13One of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?”Select Revelation 7:13

14I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.Select Revelation 7:14

15Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.Select Revelation 7:15

16They will never be hungry, neither thirsty any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat;Select Revelation 7:16

17for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”Select Revelation 7:17
