Revelation 7
The 144,000
Sealed |
1 |
And after these things I saw four angels
standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds Zech.
6.5 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. Ezek. 9.4
|

The White-robed
Multitude |
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 honor, 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, Dan. 12.1 · Mt. 24.21 · Mk. 13.19 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. Is.
49.10
|
17 |
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the
throne shall feed them, Ps. 23.1 · Ezek. 34.23 and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: Ps.
23.2 · Is.
49.10 and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Is.
25.8
