Revelation 7

An Interlude

1

After this I saw  afour angels standing at the  bfour corners of the earth, holding back  cthe four winds of the earth,  dso that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree.

2

And I saw another angel ascending  afrom the rising of the sun, having the  bseal of  cthe living God; and he cried out with a loud voice to the  dfour angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,

3

saying, " aDo not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have  bsealed the bond-servants of our God on their  cforeheads."

The 144,000

4

And I heard the  anumber of those who were sealed,  bone hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

5

from the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,

6

from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,

7

from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,

8

from the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed.

A Multitude from the Tribulation

9

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from  aevery nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing  bbefore the throne and  cbefore the Lamb, clothed in  dwhite robes, and  epalm branches were in their hands;

10

and they cry out with a loud voice, saying,

aSalvation to our God  bwho sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."

11

And all the angels were standing  aaround the throne and around  athe elders and the  bfour living creatures; and they  cfell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

12

saying,

aAmen,  bblessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever.  aAmen."

13

Then one of the elders  aanswered, saying to me, "These who are clothed in the  bwhite robes, who are they, and where have they come from?"

14

I  1said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the  agreat tribulation, and they have  bwashed their robes and made them  cwhite in the  dblood of the Lamb.

15

"For this reason, they are  abefore the throne of God; and they  bserve Him day and night in His  1 ctemple; and  dHe who sits on the throne will spread His  etabernacle over them.

16

aThey will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun  1beat down on them, nor any heat;

17

for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their  ashepherd, and will guide them to springs of the  1 bwater of life; and  cGod will wipe every tear from their eyes."
