Revelation 7

1AfterG3326 thisG3778 I sawG3708 fourG5064 angelsG32 standingG2476 atG1909 theG3588 fourG5064 cornersG1137 of theG3588 earthG1093, holding backG2902 its fourG5064 windsG417 so thatG2443 noG3361 windG417 would blowG4154 onG1909 landG1093 or seaG2281 or onG1909 anyG3956 treeG1186. 2AndG2532 I sawG3708 anotherG243 angelG32 ascendingG305 fromG575 the eastG395G2246, withG2192 the sealG4973 of the livingG2198 GodG2316. AndG2532 he called outG2896 in a loudG3173 voiceG5456 to theG3588 fourG5064 angelsG32 whoG3739 had been givenG1325 power to harmG91 theG3588 landG1093 andG2532 theG3588 seaG2281: 3“Do notG3361 harmG91 theG3588 landG1093 or seaG2281 or treesG1186 untilG891 we have placed a sealG4972 onG1909 theG3588 foreheadsG3359 of theG3588 servantsG1401 of ourG1473 GodG2316.”

4AndG2532 I heardG191 theG3588 numberG706 of those whoG3588 were sealedG4972, 144,000G1540G5062G5064G5505 fromG1537 all theG3956 tribesG5443 of IsraelG5207G2474:

Praise from the Great Multitude

9AfterG3326 thisG3778 I lookedG3708 andG2532 sawG2400 a multitudeG3793 too largeG4183G3739G3762 to countG1410G705, fromG1537 everyG3956 nationG1484 andG2532 tribeG5443 andG2532 peopleG2992 andG2532 tongueG1100, standingG2476 beforeG1799 theG3588 throneG2362 andG2532 beforeG1799 theG3588 LambG721. They were wearingG4016 whiteG3022 robesG4749 andG2532 holding palm branchesG5404 inG1722 theirG846 handsG5495. 10AndG2532 they cried outG2896 in a loud voiceG3173G5456:

“SalvationG4991 toG3588 ourG1473 GodG2316,whoG3588 sitsG2521 onG1909 theG3588 throneG2362,andG2532 to theG3588 LambG721!”

11AndG2532 allG3956 theG3588 angelsG32 stoodG2476 aroundG2945 theG3588 throneG2362 andG2532 around theG3588 eldersG4245 andG2532 theG3588 fourG5064 living creaturesG2226. AndG2532 they fell facedownG4098G1909G846G3588G4383 beforeG1799 theG3588 throneG2362 andG2532 worshipedG4352 GodG2316, 12sayingG3004, “AmenG281! BlessingG2129 andG2532 gloryG1391 andG2532 wisdomG4678 andG2532 thanksG2169 andG2532 honorG5092 andG2532 powerG1411 andG2532 strengthG2479 be toG3588 ourG1473 GodG2316 foreverG1519G3588G165 and everG165! AmenG281.”

13ThenG2532 oneG1520 ofG1537 theG3588 eldersG4245 addressedG611 meG1473: “TheseG3778 inG4016 whiteG3022 robesG4749,” he askedG3004, “whoG5101 are theyG1510, andG2532 whereG4159 have they come fromG2064?”

14“SirG1473G2962,” I answeredG2046, “youG4771 knowG1492.”

So he repliedG2036, “TheseG3778 areG1510 the onesG3588 who have comeG2064 out ofG1537 theG3588 greatG3173 tribulationG2347; they have washedG4150 theirG846 robesG4749 andG2532 made them whiteG846G3021 inG1722 theG3588 bloodG129 of theG3588 LambG721. 15For this reasonG1223G3778,

they areG1510 beforeG1799 theG3588 throneG2362 of GodG2316andG2532 serveG3000 HimG846 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571 inG1722 HisG846 templeG3485;andG2532 theG3588 One seatedG2521 onG1909 theG3588 throneG2362will spread His tabernacleG4637 overG1909 themG846.16‘NeverG3756 againG2089 will they hungerG3983,and never will they thirstG1372;norG3761 will theG3588 sunG2246 beat downG4098 uponG1909 themG846,norG3761 anyG3956 scorching heatG2738.’117ForG3754 theG3588 LambG721 inG303 the centerG3319 of theG3588 throneG2362will be their shepherdG4165G846.2‘He will leadG3594 themG846 toG1909 springsG4077 of livingG2222 waterG5204,’3andG2532 ‘GodG2316 will wipe awayG1813 everyG3956 tearG1144 fromG1537 theirG846 eyesG3788.’4”
