* 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 . * And when he had opened the seventh seal , there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour . * And I saw the seven angels which stood before God ; and to them were given seven trumpets . * And another angel came and stood at the altar , having a golden censer ; and there was given unto him much incense , that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne . * And the smoke of the incense , which came with the prayers of the saints , ascended up before God out of the angel 's hand . * And the angel took the censer , and filled it with fire of the altar , and cast it into the earth : and there were voices , and thunderings , and lightnings , and an earthquake . * And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound . * The first angel sounded , and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood , and they were cast upon the earth : and the third part of trees was burnt up , and all green grass was burnt up . * And the second angel sounded , and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea : and the third part of the sea became blood ; * And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea , and had life , died ; and the third part of the ships were destroyed . * And the third angel sounded , and there fell a great star from heaven , burning as it were a lamp , and it fell upon the third part of the rivers , and upon the fountains of waters ; * And the name of the star is called Wormwood : and the third part of the waters became wormwood ; and many men died of the waters , because they were made bitter . * And the fourth angel sounded , and the third part of the sun was smitten , and the third part of the moon , and the third part of the stars ; so as the third part of them was darkened , and the day shone not for a third part of it , and the night likewise . * And I beheld , and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven , saying with a loud voice , Woe , woe , woe , to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels , which are yet to sound ! * And the fifth angel sounded , and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth : and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit . * And he opened the bottomless pit ; and there arose a smoke out of the pit , as the smoke of a great furnace ; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit . * And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth : and unto them was given power , as the scorpions of the earth have power . * And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth , neither any green thing , neither any tree ; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads . * And to them it was given that they should not kill them , but that they should be tormented five months : and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion , when he striketh a man . * And in those days shall men seek death , and shall not find it ; and shall desire to die , and death shall flee from them . * And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle ; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold , and their faces were as the faces of men . * And they had hair as the hair of women , and their teeth were as the teeth of lions . * And they had breastplates , as it were breastplates of iron ; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle . * And they had tails like unto scorpions , and there were stings in their tails : and their power was to hurt men five months . * And they had a king over them , which is the angel of the bottomless pit , whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon , but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon . * One woe is past ; and , behold , there come two woes more hereafter . * And the sixth angel sounded , and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God , * Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet , Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates . * And the four angels were loosed , which were prepared for an hour , and a day , and a month , and a year , for to slay the third part of men . * And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand : and I heard the number of them . * And thus I saw the horses in the vision , and them that sat on them , having breastplates of fire , and of jacinth , and brimstone : and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions ; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone . * By these three was the third part of men killed , by the fire , and by the smoke , and by the brimstone , which issued out of their mouths . * For their power is in their mouth , and in their tails : for their tails were like unto serpents , and had heads , and with them they do hurt . * And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands , that they should not worship devils , and idols of gold , and silver , and brass , and stone , and of wood : which neither can see , nor hear , nor walk : * Neither repented they of their murders , nor of their sorceries , nor of their fornication , nor of their thefts . * And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven , clothed with a cloud : and a rainbow was upon his head , and his face was as it were the sun , and his feet as pillars of fire :
