144,000 Sealed
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back its four winds so that no wind would blow on land or sea or on any tree. Mat 24:31Dan 7:2Jer 49:36Mrk 13:27Dan 8:8Ezk 37:9Ezk 7:2Isa 27:8 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. And he called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 2Co 1:22Eph 4:30Rev 7:3-82Ti 2:19Eph 1:13Rev 9:4Rev 5:2Jhn 6:27 “Do not harm the land or sea or trees until we have sealed the foreheads of the servants of our God.” Ezk 9:4Rev 22:4Rev 9:4Rev 13:16Exo 12:13Rev 14:1Rev 20:4Isa 26:20-21

Praise from the Great Multitude
After this I looked and saw a multitude too large to count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. Rev 5:9Jhn 12:13Psa 117:1-2Rev 7:13-15Psa 2:8Rev 6:11Zec 2:11Isa 60:1-14 And they cried out in a loud voice: Rev 19:1Psa 3:8Isa 45:21Rev 12:10Eph 2:8Luk 3:6Rev 22:3Isa 43:11
“Salvation to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb!”
And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. And they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God, Rev 5:11-13Rev 19:4-6Rev 4:10Rev 4:6Heb 1:6Psa 103:20-21Psa 148:1-2Rev 11:16 saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” Rev 5:12-14Jud 1:25Col 3:17Psa 100:4Rev 19:4Jon 2:9Psa 107:22Psa 147:7
Then one of the elders addressed me: “These in white robes,” he asked, “who are they, and where have they come from?” Rev 7:9Rev 4:10Rev 5:11Rev 5:5Jdg 13:6Jhn 7:28Rev 4:4Gen 16:8
“Sir,” I answered, “you know.” 1Jn 1:7Rev 22:14Heb 13:12Rev 1:5Rev 12:11Heb 9:14Isa 1:181Pe 1:19
So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. For this reason, Rev 21:3-4Rev 22:32Co 6:16Isa 4:5-61Ch 23:25Heb 12:2Jhn 1:141Co 3:16
they are before the throne of God
and serve Him day and night in His temple;
and the One seated on the throne
will spread His tabernacle over them.
‘Never again will they hunger, Isa 49:10Jhn 4:14Mat 5:6Psa 121:6Luk 6:21Rev 21:4Isa 41:17Isa 25:4
and never will they thirst;
nor will the sun beat down upon them,
nor any scorching heat.’ 1
For the Lamb in the center of the throne Jhn 7:37-38Psa 36:8-9Jhn 4:14Psa 23:1-2Jhn 4:11Psa 23:5Rev 22:1Rev 21:4
will be their shepherd. 2
‘He will lead them to springs of living water,’ 3
and ‘God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’ 4”
