“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. 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, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth,
neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our
God in their foreheads. 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. 5 Of the tribe of
Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand. 6 Of
the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Nepthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses [were]
sealed twelve thousand. 7 Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the
tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of the tribe of
Zabulon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were]
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve
thousand. 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; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying,
Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
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, 12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom,
and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God
for ever and ever. Amen.” |
