\nRev 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n17 For the Lamb* which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe* away all tears from their eyes.
