Revelation:7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And after these things I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth ,
holding back the four winds of the earth that no wind should blow upon the earth nor upon the sea nor upon any tree .
*
And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun ,
having the seal of the living God :
and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels ,
to whom it was given to hurt the land and the sea ,
*
saying ,
Hurt not the land neither the sea nor the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads .
*
And I heard the number of those that were sealed : [
and there were ]
sealed a hundred [
and ]
forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the sons 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 Naphtali [
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 Zepulun [
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 saw ,
and ,
behold ,
a great multitude ,
which no man could number ,
of all nations and kindreds and peoples and tongues stood before the throne and before the Lamb clothed with long white robes and palms in their hands
*
and cried with a loud voice ,
saying ,
Salvation unto him who is seated upon the throne of our God and unto the Lamb .
*
And all the angels stood round about the throne and [
about ]
the elders and the four animals ;
and they fell upon their faces before the throne and worshipped God ,
*
saying ,
Amen :
The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honour and the power and the might , [
be ]
unto our God for ever and ever .
Amen .
*
And one of the elders responded and asked me ,
Who are these who are arrayed in long white robes ?
and where did they come from ?
*
And I said unto him ,
lord ,
thou knowest .
And he said to me ,
These are those who came out of great tribulation and have washed their long robes ,
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb .
*
Therefore ,
they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple ,
and he that is seated on the throne shall dwell among them .
*
They shall hunger no more neither thirst anymore ;
neither shall the sun be thrust upon them nor any other heat .
*
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall govern them and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters ,
and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes .:
