3sayingG3004, “1Do not harmG91 the earthG1093 orG3383 the seaG2281 orG3383 the treesG1186 untilG891 we have 2sealedG4972 the bond-servantsG1401 of our GodG2316 on their 3foreheadsG3359.”
4And I heardG191 the 4numberG706 of thoseG3588 who were sealedG4972, 5oneG1540 hundredG1540 and forty-fourG5065G5064 thousandG5505 sealedG4972 from everyG3956 tribeG5443 of the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474: 5from the tribeG5443 of JudahG2455, twelveG1427 thousandG5505 were sealedG4972, from the tribeG5443 of ReubenG4502 twelveG1427 thousandG5505, from the tribeG5443 of GadG1045 twelveG1427 thousandG5505, 6from the tribeG5443 of AsherG768 twelveG1427 thousandG5505, from the tribeG5443 of NaphtaliG3508 twelveG1427 thousandG5505, from the tribeG5443 of ManassehG3128 twelveG1427 thousandG5505, 7from the tribeG5443 of SimeonG4826 twelveG1427 thousandG5505, from the tribeG5443 of LeviG3017 twelveG1427 thousandG5505, from the tribeG5443 of IssacharG2475 twelveG1427 thousandG5505, 8from the tribeG5443 of ZebulunG2194 twelveG1427 thousandG5505, from the tribeG5443 of JosephG2501 twelveG1427 thousandG5505, from the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, twelveG1427 thousandG5505 were sealedG4972.
9AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 I lookedG3708, and beholdG2400, a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 whichG3739 noG3762 oneG3762 couldG1410 countG705, from 6everyG3956 nationG1484 and all tribesG5443 and peoplesG2992 and tonguesG1100, standingG2476 7beforeG1799 the throneG2362 and 8beforeG1799 the LambG721, clothedG4016 in 9whiteG3022 robesG4749, and 10palmG5404 branchesG5404 were in their handsG5495; 10and they cryG2896 out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004,
“11SalvationG4991 to our GodG2316 12who sitsG2521 on the throneG2362, and to the LambG721.” 11And allG3956 the angelsG32 were standingG2476 13aroundG2945 the throneG2362 and around 14the eldersG4245 and the 15fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226; and they 16fellG4098 on their facesG4383 beforeG1799 the throneG2362 and worshipedG4352 GodG2316, 12sayingG3004,
“17AmenG281, 18blessingG2129 and gloryG1391 and wisdomG4678 and thanksgivingG2169 and honorG5092 and powerG1411 and mightG2479, be to our GodG2316 foreverG165 and everG165. 19AmenG281.”
13ThenG2532 oneG1520 of the eldersG4245 20answeredG611, sayingG3004 to me, “TheseG3778 who are clothedG4016 in the 21whiteG3022 robesG4749, whoG5101 are they, and whereG4159 have they comeG2064 from?” 14I 22saidG3004 to him, “My lordG2962, you knowG3609.” And he saidG3004 to me, “TheseG3778 are the ones who comeG2064 out of the 23greatG3173 tribulationG2347, and they have 24washedG4150 their robesG4749 and madeG3021 them 25whiteG3021 in the 26bloodG129 of the LambG721. 15For thisG3778 reasonG1223, they are 27beforeG1799 the throneG2362 of GodG2316; and they 28serveG3000 Him dayG2250 and nightG3571 in His 2930templeG3485; and 31He who sitsG2521 on the throneG2362 will spreadG4637 His 32tabernacleG4637 overG1909 them. 1633They will hungerG3983 noG3756 longerG2089, norG3761 thirstG1372 anymoreG2089; norG3761 will the sunG2246 34beatG4098 downG4098 on them, norG3761 anyG3956 heatG2738; 17for the LambG721 in the centerG3319 of the throneG2362 will be their 35shepherdG4165, and will guideG3594 them to springsG4077 of the 3637waterG5204 of lifeG2222; and 38GodG2316 will wipeG1813 everyG3956 tearG1144 from their eyesG3788.”
