CHAPTER 7

:1  And after <G 3326> these <G 5023> things I saw <G 1492> four

<G 5064> angels

<G 0032> standing <G 2476> on <G 1909> the four <G 5064> corners

<G 1137> of the

earth <G 1093>, holding <G 2902> the four <G 5064> winds <G

0417> of the earth

<G 1093>, that the wind <G 0417> should not blow <G 4154> on <G

1909> the earth

<G 1093>, nor <G 3383> on <G 1909> the sea <G 2281>, nor <G

3383> on <G 1909>

any <G 3956> tree <G 1186>.

:2  And I saw <G 1492> another <G 0243> angel <G 0032> ascending

<G 0305> from

the east <G 0395>, having <G 2192> the seal <G 4973> of the

living <G 2198> God

<G 2316>: and he cried <G 2896> with a loud <G 3173> voice <G

5456> to the four

<G 5064> angels <G 0032>, to whom <G 3739> it was given <G 1325>

to hurt <G

0091> the earth <G 1093> and the sea <G 2281>,

:3  Saying <G 3004>, Hurt <G 0091> not the earth <G 1093>,

neither <G 3383> the

sea <G 2281>, nor <G 3383> the trees <G 1186>, till <G 0891> we

have sealed <G

4972> the servants <G 1401> of our God <G 2316> in their

foreheads <G 3359>.

:4  And I heard <G 0191> the number <G 0706> of them which were

sealed <G 4972>:

[and there were] sealed <G 4972> an hundred <G 1540> [and] forty

<G 5062> [and]

5443> of the

children <G 5207> of Israel <G 2474>.

1427> thousand <G 5505>. Of the tribe <G 5443> of Levi <G 3017>

[were] sealed <G

4972> twelve <G 1427> thousand <G 5505>. Of the tribe <G 5443>

of Issachar <G

2466> [were] sealed <G 4972> twelve <G 1427> thousand <G 5505>.

0958> [were] sealed <G 4972> twelve <G 1427> thousand <G 5505>.

:9  After <G 3326> this <G 5023> I beheld <G 1492>, and, lo <G

2400>, a great <G

4183> multitude <G 3793>, which <G 3739> no <G 3762> man <G

3762> could <G 1410>

number <G 0705>, of all <G 3956> nations <G 1484>, and kindreds

<G 5443>, and

people <G 2992>, and tongues <G 1100>, stood <G 2476> before <G

1799> the throne

<G 2362>, and before <G 1799> the Lamb <G 0721>, clothed <G

4016> with white <G

3022> robes <G 4749>, and palms <G 5404> in their hands <G 5495>;

:10  And cried <G 2896> with a loud <G 3173> voice <G 5456>,

saying <G 3004>,

Salvation <G 4991> to our God <G 2316> which <G 3588> sitteth <G

2521> upon the

throne <G 2362>, and unto the Lamb <G 0721>.

:11  And all <G 3956> the angels <G 0032> stood <G 2476> round

<G 2943> about <G

2943> the throne <G 2362>, and [about] the elders <G 4245> and

the four <G 5064>

beasts <G 2226>, and fell <G 4098> before <G 1799> the throne <G

2362> on <G

1909> their faces <G 4383>, and worshipped <G 4352> God <G 2316>,

:12  Saying <G 3004>, Amen <G 0281>: Blessing <G 2129>, and

glory <G 1391>, and

wisdom <G 4678>, and thanksgiving <G 2169>, and honour <G 5092>,

and power <G

1411>, and might <G 2479>, [be] unto our God <G 2316> for ever

<G 0165> and ever

<G 0165>. Amen <G 0281>.

:13  And one <G 1520> of the elders <G 4245> answered <G 0611>,

saying <G 3004>

unto me, What <G 5101> are these <G 3778> which <G 3588> are

arrayed <G 4016> in

white <G 3022> robes <G 4749>? and whence <G 4159> came <G 2064>

they?

:14  And I said <G 2046> unto him, Sir <G 2962>, thou knowest <G

1492>. And he

said <G 2036> to me, These <G 3778> are they which came <G 2064>

out of great <G

3173> tribulation <G 2347>, and have washed <G 4150> their robes

<G 4749>, and

made <G 3021> them white <G 3021> in the blood <G 0129> of the

Lamb <G 0721>.

:15  Therefore <G 5124> are they before <G 1799> the throne <G

2362> of God <G

2316>, and serve <G 3000> him day <G 2250> and night <G 3571> in

his temple <G

3485>: and he that sitteth <G 2521> on <G 1909> the throne <G

2362> shall dwell

<G 4637> among <G 1909> them.

:16  They shall hunger <G 3983> no <G 3756> more <G 2089>,

neither <G 3761>

thirst <G 1372> any <G 2089> more <G 2089>; neither <G 3761>

shall the sun <G

2246> light <G 4098> on <G 1909> them, nor <G 3761> any <G 3956>

heat <G 2738>.

:17  For the Lamb <G 0721> which <G 3588> is in the midst <G

3319> of the throne

<G 2362> shall feed <G 4165> them, and shall lead <G 3594> them

unto living <G

2198> fountains <G 4077> of waters <G 5204>: and God <G 2316>

shall wipe <G

1813> away <G 1813> all <G 3956> tears <G 1144> from their eyes

<G 3788>.
