Revelation 7

¹ holding onto the four winds of the earth to keep the wind from flowing on the earth or on the sea or on any tree." ²Then I saw another angel coming down from the rising of the sun, who had the seal of the living God, and he cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who had the authority to hurt the earth and the sea. ³He said: "Don't hurt the earth or the sea or any of the trees until we have sealed the slaves of our God on their foreheads." ⁴And I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000, sealed from each of the tribes of the children of Israel. ⁵From the tribe of Judah, 12,000 were sealed
From the tribe of Reuben, 12,000
From the tribe of Gad, 12,000
⁶From the tribe of Asher, 12,000
From the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000
From the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000
⁷From the tribe of Simeon, 12,000
From the tribe of Levi, 12,000
From the tribe of Issachar, 12,000
⁸From the tribe of Zebulon, 12,000
From the tribe of Joseph, 12,000
From the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000 were sealed.

⁹After these things I saw, and there was a great crowd that nobody could count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing before the throne and before the lamb, dressed in white robes and with palm branches in their hands, ¹⁰and they cried out with a loud voice, saying,

Salvation to our God, the one sitting on the throne and to the lamb! ¹¹And all the angels and the elders and the four living creatures stood around the throne and fell on their faces before it and worshipped God, ¹²saying,

Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and gratitude and honor and power and strength to our God for ever and ever!

¹³And one of the elders answered and said to me, "These people who are dressed in white robes, who are they and where do they come from?" ¹⁴And I said to him, "My lord, you know!" And he said to me, "These are those who come through the great affliction and washed tehir robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb. ¹⁵Because of this they are before the throne of God
And they worship him day and night in his sanctuary.
And the one who sits on the throne will take up residence with them,
¹⁶They will not be hungry or thirsty any more
neither will they be stricken by the sun,
nor any scorching heat.
¹⁷Because the lamb who is in the midst of the throne will take care of them,
and he will lead them to living fountains of water.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
