          DASV: Revelation 7    

1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners
of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so
that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on
any tree.
2 Then I saw another angel ascend from where the sun rises,
having the seal of the living God. He called with a loud
voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the
earth and the sea,
3 saying, "Do not harm the earth, or the sea, or the trees,
until we have put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of
our God."
4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000.
They were sealed from every tribe of the children of Israel.
5 From the tribe of Judah, 12,000 were sealed;
      from the tribe of Reuben, 12,000;
      from the tribe of Gad, 12,000;
6 from the tribe of Asher, 12,000;
      from the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000;
      from the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000;
7 from the tribe of Simeon, 12,000;
      from the tribe of Levi, 12,000;
      from the tribe of Issachar, 12,000;
8 from the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000;
      from the tribe of Joseph, 12,000;
      from the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000 were sealed.
9 After these things I looked, and there was a huge crowd
that no one could number, from every nation, tribe, people
and language, standing before the throne and before
the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in
their hands.
10 Then they cried out with a loud voice, "Salvation to
our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
11 All the angels who were standing around the throne,
and around the elders and the four living creatures, fell
on their faces before the throne and worshipped God,
12 saying, "Amen, praise 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 asked me, "These dressed in white
robes, who are they and where did they come from?"
14 I replied, "My lord, you know." He answered, "These are
those who came 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 they
serve him day and night in his temple. And he who sits
on the throne will spread his tent over them.
16 They will never be hungry or thirsty anymore; neither
will the sun beat down on them, or any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne will be
their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of living
water and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
