Revelation 7:9-17

9After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from 1every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing 2before the throne and 3before the Lamb, clothed in 4white robes, and 5palm branches were in their hands; 10and they cry out with a loud voice, saying,

“6Salvation to our God 7who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” 11And all the angels were standing 8around the throne and around 9the elders and the 10four living creatures; and they 11fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12saying,

“12Amen, 13blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. 14Amen.”

13Then one of the elders 15answered, saying to me, “These who are clothed in the 16white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?” 14I 17said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the 18great tribulation, and they have 19washed their robes and made them 20white in the 21blood of the Lamb. 15For this reason, they are 22before the throne of God; and they 23serve Him day and night in His 2425temple; and 26He who sits on the throne will spread His 27tabernacle over them. 1628They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun 29beat down on them, nor any heat; 17for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their 30shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the 3132water of life; and 33God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
