Revelation 7:9-17
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one
could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples
and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb,
clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10
and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God
who
sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 And all the angels were
standing around the throne and around the elders and the four
living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne
and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and
wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to
our God forever and ever! Amen.” 13 Then one of the elders
addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and
from where have they come?” 14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.”
And he said to me, “These are the ones coming
out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made
them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 “Therefore they are
before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His
temple; and He who sits on the throne will shelter them with
His presence. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither
thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any
scorching heat. 17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne
will be their shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of living
water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
