1. 1After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds so that no wind would blow on the earth, the sea, or any tree.
2. 2Then I saw another angel rising from the east, carrying the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to damage the earth and the sea:
3. 3Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.
4. 4I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5. 5From the tribe of Judah, 12,000 were sealed. From the tribe of Reuben, 12,000. From the tribe of Gad, 12,000.
6. 6From the tribe of Asher, 12,000. From the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000. From the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000.
7. 7From the tribe of Simeon, 12,000. From the tribe of Levi, 12,000. From the tribe of Issachar, 12,000.
8. 8From the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000. From the tribe of Joseph, 12,000. From the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000.
9. 9After this, I looked and saw a massive crowd that no one could count — people from every nation, tribe, people, and language — standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They wore white robes and held palm branches in their hands.
10. 10They shouted in a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"
11. 11All the angels stood in a circle around the throne, the elders, and the four beasts. They fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,
12. 12saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might belong to our God forever and ever! Amen."
13. 13Then one of the elders spoke to me, asking, "Who are these people dressed in white robes, and where did they come from?"
14. 14I answered, "Sir, you know." He told me, "These are the ones who have come through the great tribulation. They washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
15. 15That is why they stand before God's throne, serving him day and night in his temple. The one who sits on the throne will dwell among them.
16. 16They will never be hungry again, and they will never be thirsty again. The sun will not beat down on them, and no scorching heat will touch them.
17. 17For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them and will lead them to living fountains of waters, and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.
