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. |
2 |
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, |
3 |
Saying,
Hurt not the earth,
neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God
in their foreheads.
|
4 |
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. |
5 |
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. |
6 |
Of
the tribe of Aser
were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim
were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses
were sealed twelve thousand. |
7 |
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. |
8 |
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. |
9 |
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; |
10 |
And
cried with a loud
voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto
the Lamb. |
11 |
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, |
12 |
Saying,
Amen: Blessing,
and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be
unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. |
13 |
And
one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What
are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? |
14 |
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. |
15 |
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. |
16 |
They
shall hunger no
more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the
sun light on them, nor any heat. |
17 |
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. |
