Revelation 7:
2 - 4, 9 - 14
|
| 2 |
Then I saw another angel ascend from the
rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud
voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea,
|
| 3 |
saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or
the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads."
|
| 4 |
And I heard the number of the sealed, a
hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, out of every tribe of the sons of
Israel, |
| 9 |
After this I looked, and behold, a great
multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and
peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in
white robes, with palm branches in their hands, |
| 10 |
and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation
belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!" |
| 11 |
And all the angels stood round the throne
and round the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces
before the throne and worshiped God, |
| 12 |
saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God for ever and ever!
Amen." |
| 13 |
Then one of the elders addressed me, saying,
"Who are these, clothed in white robes, and whence have they come?"
|
| 14 |
I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said
to me, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have
washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. |
