Having God’s People Receive His Seal on Their Foreheads |
Revelation 7:1-17 The Revelation of Jesus Christ [in Smaller Chunks] |
And after these things, I saw 4 Angels standing on the 4 corners of the earth, holding the 4 winds of the earth, [so] that the wind shouldn't blow on the earth, nor on: the sea, & any tree. And I saw another Angel, ascending from the East, having the seal of the Living God. |
And he cried [out] with a loud voice to the 4 Angels, to whom it was given to [harm] the earth & the sea, saying, [Don't] hurt the: earth; sea, nor trees, [until] we have sealed our [God's] servants, in their foreheads. |
And I heard the number of [those, who] were sealed. And there were 144,000 sealed [from] all the tribes of the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel. 12,000 were sealed [from] the tribe of [Judah.] 12,000 were sealed [from] the tribe of Reuben. 12,000 were sealed [from] the tribe of Gad. 12,000 were sealed [from] the tribe of [Asher.] 12,000 were sealed [from] the tribe of [Naphtali.] 12,000 were sealed [from] the tribe of [Manasseh.] 12,000 were sealed [from] the tribe of Simeon. 12,000 were sealed [from] the tribe of Levi. 12,000 were sealed [from] the tribe of Issachar. 12,000 were sealed [from] the tribe of [Zebulun.] 12,000 were sealed [from] the tribe of Joseph. 12,000 were sealed [from] the tribe of Benjamin. |
After this, I [looked] & [saw] a great, [a.k.a. large,] multitude, which no man could [count, from:] all nations; [families;] people, & tongues, [a.k.a. languages,] clothed with white robes, & palms in their hands, [who] stood [in front of] the throne, & before the Lamb. And [they] cried [out] with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God, & to the Lamb, [Who sit] upon the throne. |
And all the Angels; elders; & the 4 [Living Creatures,] stood [all around] the throne, & fell on their faces [in front of] the throne, & worshiped God. Saying, Amen. [May:] [blessings;] glory; wisdom; thanksgiving, [a.k.a. giving thanks; honor;] power, & might, [a.k.a. strength;] be to our God forever & ever. Amen. |
And one of the elders answered & [said] to me, What are these, [who] are [clothed] in white robes? And [where] [did] they [come] [from?] And I said to him, Sir, you [know.] And he said to me, These are [those, who] came out of the great tribulation, & have washed their robes, & made them white in the Blood of the Lamb. |
Therefore, they are [in front of] the throne of God, & serve Him day & night in His temple. And He, [Who sits] on the throne, shall dwell among them. *They shall no [longer] hunger, & neither [shall they:] thirst anymore; & neither shall the sun, nor any heat, light on, [a.k.a. scorch,] them. |
*For the Lamb, [Who] is in the midst of the throne, shall feed them, & shall lead them to Living Fountains of Waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. [Isaiah 25:8 *In victory, [the Lord God] will swallow up death. And the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces. And He shall take away the rebuke, [a.k.a. disgrace,] of His people from [over] all the earth. For the Lord [has] spoken it.] |
