REVELATIONS CHAPTER VII.

[2 An angel cometh to seal the servants of God in their foreheads: 4 the 
number of them were sealed out of each of the tribes of Israel,]

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.
