Revelation:7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And ,
after these things ,
I saw four angels ,
standing at the four corners of the earth ,
holding the four winds of the earth ,
that the wind might not blow upon the earth ,
nor upon the sea ,
nor on any tree .
*
And I saw another angel ascending from the rising sun ,
having the seal of the living God :
and he cried with a great voice to the four angels to whom power was given to injure the earth ,
and the sea ;
*
saying ,
Injure not the earth ,
nor the sea ,
nor the trees ,
till we have sealed the servants of our God ,
in their foreheads .
*
And I heard the number of those that were sealed :
one hundred and forty-four thousand ,
who were sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel .
*
Of the tribe of Judah ,
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 Asher ,
were sealed twelve thousand .
Of the tribe of Naphtali ,
were sealed twelve thousand .
Of the tribe of Manasseh ,
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 Zebulon ,
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 beheld a great multitude ,
which no one could number ,
out of every nation ,
and tribe ,
and people ,
and language ,
standing before the throne ,
and before the Lamb ,
clothed in white robes ,
and palms in their hands ;
*
and they cry with a loud voice ,
saying ,
Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne ,
and to the Lamb !
*
And all the messengers stood round about the throne ,
and about the elders ,
and the four living creatures ;
and they fell down on their faces ,
before the throne ,
and worshiped God ;
*
saying ,
Amen :
the blessing ,
and the glory ,
and the wisdom ,
and the thanksgiving ,
and the honor ,
and the power ,
and the strength ,
be to our God for ever and ever :
Amen .
*
And one of the elders answered ,
saying to me ,
As for those who are clothed with white apparel ,
who are they ,
and whence do they come ?
*
And I said to him ,
Sir ,
you know .
And he said to me ,
These are they who have come out of much tribulation ,
and have washed their 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 who sits upon the throne ,
pitches his tabernacle over them .
*
They shall hunger no more ,
neither shall they thirst any more ;
nor shall the sun fall upon them ,
nor any heat :
*
for the Lamb ,
who is in the midst of the throne ,
shall feed them ,
and he shall lead them to fountains of living water ;
and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes .
