7:1 After
this
I
saw
four
angels
standing
at
the
four
corners
of
the
earth,
holding
back
the
four
winds
of
the
earth,
that
no
wind
might
blow
on
earth
or
sea
or
against
any
tree.
7:2 Then
I
saw
another
angel
ascending
from
the
rising
of
the
sun,
with
the
seal
of
the
living
God,
and
he
called
with
a
loud
voice
to
the
four
angels
who
had
been
given
power
to
harm
earth
and
sea,
7:3 saying,
"Do
not
harm
the
earth
or
the
sea
or
the
trees,
until
we
have
sealed
the
servants
of
our
God
on
their
foreheads."
7:4 And
I
heard
the
number
of
the
sealed,
144,000,
sealed
from
every
tribe
of
the
sons
of
Israel:
7:5 12,000
from
the
tribe
of
Judah
were
sealed,
12,000
from
the
tribe
of
Reuben,
12,000
from
the
tribe
of
Gad,
7:6 12,000
from
the
tribe
of
Asher,
12,000
from
the
tribe
of
Naphtali,
12,000
from
the
tribe
of
Manasseh,
7:7 12,000
from
the
tribe
of
Simeon,
12,000
from
the
tribe
of
Levi,
12,000
from
the
tribe
of
Issachar,
7:8 12,000
from
the
tribe
of
Zebulun,
12,000
from
the
tribe
of
Joseph,
12,000
from
the
tribe
of
Benjamin
were
sealed.
7:9 After
this
I
looked,
and
behold,
a
great
multitude
that
no
one
could
number,
from
every
nation,
from
all
tribes
and
peoples
and
languages,
standing
before
the
throne
and
before
the
Lamb,
clothed
in
white
robes,
with
palm
branches
in
their
hands,
7:10 and
crying
out
with
a
loud
voice,
"Salvation
belongs
to
our
God
who
sits
on
the
throne,
and
to
the
Lamb!"
7:11 And
all
the
angels
were
standing
around
the
throne
and
around
the
elders
and
the
four
living
creatures,
and
they
fell
on
their
faces
before
the
throne
and
worshiped
God,
7:12 saying,
"Amen!
Blessing
and
glory
and
wisdom
and
thanksgiving
and
honor
and
power
and
might
be
to
our
God
forever
and
ever!
Amen."
7:13 Then
one
of
the
elders
addressed
me,
saying,
"Who
are
these,
clothed
in
white
robes,
and
from
where
have
they
come"
7:14 I
said
to
him,
"Sir,
you
know."
And
he
said
to
me,
"These
are
the
ones
coming
out
of
the
great
tribulation.
They
have
washed
their
robes
and
made
them
white
in
the
blood
of
the
Lamb.
7:15 "Therefore
they
are
before
the
throne
of
God,
and
serve
him
day
and
night
in
his
temple;
and
he
who
sits
on
the
throne
will
shelter
them
with
his
presence.
7:16 They
shall
hunger
no
more,
neither
thirst
anymore;
the
sun
shall
not
strike
them,
nor
any
scorching
heat.
7:17 For
the
Lamb
in
the
midst
of
the
throne
will
be
their
shepherd,
and
he
will
guide
them
to
springs
of
living
water,
and
God
will
wipe
away
every
tear
from
their
eyes."
