Context of Revelation 7:12
10And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb. 11And all the angels stood around the throne, and about the elders and the four living beings, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be to our God for ever and ever. Amen. 13And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these that are arrayed in white robes? and where did they come from? 14And I said to him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who came out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
