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
.
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
,
Saying, Hurt
not
the earth
, neither
the sea
, nor
the trees
, till
we have sealed
the servants
of our
God
in
their
foreheads
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
;
And cried
with a loud
voice
, saying
, Salvation
to our
God
which
sitteth
upon
the throne
, and
unto the Lamb
.
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
,
Saying, Amen
: Blessing
, and
glory
, and
wisdom
, and
thanksgiving
, and
honour
, and
power
, and
might
, be unto our
God
for
ever
and ever
. Amen
.
And one
of
the elders
answered
, saying
unto me
, What
are
these
which
are arrayed in
white
robes
? and
whence
came they
?
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
.
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
.
They shall hunger no
more
, neither
thirst
any more
; neither
shall
the sun
light
on
them
, nor
any
heat
.
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
.
