7Then I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds so they did not blow on the earth or the sea, or even on any tree.G2532G3326G5023G1492G5064G32G2476G1909G5064G1137G1093G2902G5064G417G1093G3363G417G4154G3363G4154G1909G1093G3383G1909G2281G3383G1909G3956G11862And I saw another angel coming up from the east, carrying the seal of the living God. And he shouted to those four angels, who had been given power to harm land and sea,G2532G1492G243G32G305G305G575G395G2246G2192G4973G2198G2316G2532G2896G3173G5456G5064G32G3739G846G1325G91G1093G2532G22813"Wait!

Praise from the Great Crowd
9After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands.G3326G5023G1492G2532G2400G4183G3793G3739G3762G1410G705G846G1537G3956G1484G2532G5443G2532G2992G2532G1100G2476G1799G2362G2532G1799G721G4016G3022G4749G2532G5404G1722G846G549510And they were shouting with a great roar, "Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!"G2532G2896G3173G5456G3004G4991G2257G2316G3588G2521G1909G2362G2532G72111And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living beings. And they fell before the throne with their faces to the ground and worshiped God.G2532G3956G32G2476G2945G2362G2532G4245G2532G5064G2226G2532G4098G1799G2362G1909G846G4383G2532G4352G231612They sang, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and ever! Amen."G3004G281G2129G2532G1391G2532G4678G2532G2169G2532G5092G2532G1411G2532G2479G2257G2316G1519G165G165G28113Then one of the twenty-four elders asked me, "Who are these who are clothed in white? Where did they come from?"G2532G1520G1537G4245G611G3004G3427G5101G1526G3778G3588G4016G3022G4749G2532G4159G206414And I said to him, "Sir, you are the one who knows." Then he said to me, "These are the ones who died in the great tribulation. They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white.G2532G2046G846G2962G4771G1492G2532G2036G3427G3778G1526G2064G1537G3173G2347G2532G4150G846G4749G2532G3021G4749G846G3021G1722G129G72115"That is why they stand in front of God's throne and serve him day and night in his Temple. And he who sits on the throne will give them shelter.G1223G5124G1526G1799G2362G2316G2532G3000G846G2250G2532G3571G1722G846G3485G2532G2521G1909G2362G4637G1909G84616They will never again be hungry or thirsty; they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun.G3983G3756G2089G3761G1372G2089G3761G3361G4098G2246G4098G1909G846G3761G3956G273817For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes."G3754G721G3588G303G3319G2362G4165G846G2532G3594G846G1909G2198G4077G5204G2532G2316G1813G3956G1144G575G846G3788
