Revelation 7:9–17

A Multitude from the Great Tribulation

⁹After these things I looked, and behold, ^ha great multitude which no one could number, ⁱof all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, ^jclothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, ¹⁰and crying out with a loud voice, saying, ^k“Salvation belongs to our God ^lwho sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” ^11mAll the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and ⁿworshiped God, ^12osaying:

“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,

Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,

Be to our God forever and ever.

Amen.”

¹³Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in ^pwhite robes, and where did they come from?”

¹⁴And I said to him, ²“Sir, you know.”

So he said to me, ^q“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and ^rwashed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will ^sdwell among them. ^16tThey shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; ^uthe sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; ¹⁷for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne ^vwill shepherd them and lead them to ³living fountains of waters. ^wAnd God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
