印了十四萬四千個以色列人

這事以後,我看見四位天使站在地的四極,掌握著地上的四風,不使風吹在地上、海上和任何樹上。 我又看見另外一位天使,從日出之地上來,拿著永活 神的印,向那四位得了權柄可以傷害地和海的天使,大聲呼喊, 說:“你們不要傷害地、海和樹木,等我們在 神眾僕人的額上先蓋上了印。” 我聽見被蓋印的人的數目,以色列子孫各支派中被蓋印的共有十四萬四千人:

猶大支派中被蓋印的,一萬二千人;

流本支派中,一萬二千人;

迦得支派中,一萬二千人;

亞設支派中,一萬二千人;

拿弗他利支派中,一萬二千人;

瑪拿西支派中,一萬二千人;

西緬支派中,一萬二千人;

利未支派中,一萬二千人;

以薩迦支派中,一萬二千人;

西布倫支派中,一萬二千人;

約瑟支派中,一萬二千人;

便雅憫支派中,一萬二千人。

各國各族的群眾前來敬拜

這些事以後,我觀看,見有一大群人,沒有人能數得過來,是從各邦國、各支派、各民族、各方言來的。他們都站在寶座和羊羔面前,身穿白袍,手裡拿著棕樹枝。 10 他們大聲呼喊,說:

“願救恩歸給那坐在寶座上我們的 神,也歸給羊羔!”

11 所有的天使都站在寶座、眾長老和四個活物的四周。他們在寶座前,面伏在地上敬拜 神, 12 說:

“阿們!願頌讚、榮耀、智慧、

感謝、尊貴、權能、力量,

都歸給我們的 神,

直到永永遠遠。阿們!”

13 長老中有一位問我:“這些身穿白袍的是誰?他們是從哪裡來的呢?” 14 我對他說:“我主啊,你是知道的。”他告訴我:“這些人是從大患難中出來的。他們用羊羔的血,把自己的衣袍洗潔白了。 15 因此,他們可以在 神的寶座前,並且日夜在他的聖所裡事奉他。那坐在寶座上的必展開帳幕覆庇他們。 16 他們必不再餓,也不再渴;太陽和一切炎熱必不傷害他們。 17 因為在寶座中間的羊羔必牧養他們,領他們到生命水的泉源那裡。 神也必抹去他們的一切眼淚。”

And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
