以色列人受印

这事以后,我看见四位天使站在大地的四角上,掌握着大地四方的风,不让风吹在大地、海洋或任何树木上。 接着,我看见另一位天使,拿着永生神的封印,从东方[a]上来。他对那些被准许伤害大地和海洋的四位天使大声呼喊, 说:“不要伤害大地、海洋和树木,直到我们在我们神的奴仆们额上盖了印。” 我又听见了那些被盖上印之人的数目,

以色列子民各支派中被盖上印的有十四万四千人:
犹大支派中被盖上印的有一万二千[b]人;
鲁本支派中[c]有一万二千人;
迦得支派中有一万二千人;
亚设支派中有一万二千人;
拿弗他利支派中有一万二千人;
玛拿西支派中有一万二千人;
西缅支派中有一万二千人;
利未支派中有一万二千人;
以萨迦支派中有一万二千人;
西布伦支派中有一万二千人;
约瑟支派中有一万二千人;
便雅悯支派中被盖上印的有一万二千人。

各族各方的群众

这些事以后,我观看,看哪,有一大群人,没有人能够数过来。他们来自各国家、各支派、各民族、各语言群体。他们身穿白袍,手里拿着棕榈枝,站在宝座和羔羊面前, 10 大声呼喊说:

“救恩属于坐在宝座上我们的神、
属于羔羊!”

11 所有的天使都站在宝座、长老们和四个活物的周围;他们在宝座前,把脸伏在地上,敬拜神, 12 说:

“阿们!愿颂赞、荣耀、智慧、
感谢、尊贵、权能、力量
都归于我们的神,直到永永远远!阿们。”

13 长老中有一位问我,说:“这些身穿白袍的是谁?他们是从哪里来的?”

14 我对他说:“我主啊,你是知道的。”

他就对我说:

“这些人都是从大患难中出来的。
他们用羔羊的血
洗净了自己的袍子,使它们洁白了。
15 因此他们在神的宝座前,
日夜在他的圣所中事奉他。
那位坐在宝座上的也将庇护他们[d]
16 他们将不再饥饿,也不再干渴;
太阳或任何炎热也不会伤到他们[e]
17 因为在宝座中的羔羊将牧养他们,
领他们到生命[f]水的泉源;
神要从他们的眼中抹去一切泪水。”

印了十四万四千个以色列人

这事以后,我看见四位天使站在地的四极,掌握着地上的四风,不使风吹在地上、海上和任何树上。 我又看见另外一位天使,从日出之地上来,拿着永活 神的印,向那四位得了权柄可以伤害地和海的天使,大声呼喊, 说:“你们不要伤害地、海和树木,等我们在 神众仆人的额上先盖上了印。” 我听见被盖印的人的数目,以色列子孙各支派中被盖印的共有十四万四千人:

各国各族的群众前来敬拜

这些事以后,我观看,见有一大群人,没有人能数得过来,是从各邦国、各支派、各民族、各方言来的。他们都站在宝座和羊羔面前,身穿白袍,手里拿着棕树枝。 10 他们大声呼喊,说:

“愿救恩归给那坐在宝座上我们的 神,也归给羊羔!”

11 所有的天使都站在宝座、众长老和四个活物的四周。他们在宝座前,面伏在地上敬拜 神, 12 说:

“阿们!愿颂赞、荣耀、智慧、

感谢、尊贵、权能、力量,

都归给我们的 神,

直到永永远远。阿们!”

13 长老中有一位问我:“这些身穿白袍的是谁?他们是从哪里来的呢?” 14 我对他说:“我主啊,你是知道的。”他告诉我:“这些人是从大患难中出来的。他们用羊羔的血,把自己的衣袍洗洁白了。 15 因此,他们可以在 神的宝座前,并且日夜在他的圣所里事奉他。那坐在宝座上的必展开帐幕覆庇他们。 16 他们必不再饿,也不再渴;太阳和一切炎热必不伤害他们。 17 因为在宝座中间的羊羔必牧养他们,领他们到生命水的泉源那里。 神也必抹去他们的一切眼泪。”

十四万四千以色列人

这之后,我又看见四个天使站在大地的四角。他们挡住了地球四面的风,不让风吹到陆上、海上或树上。 然后,我看见另一个天使从东方走来,他拿着活生生的上帝的印,大声呼唤那四个被赋予了毁坏大地和海洋的权力的天使。 他说∶“在我们给上帝的仆人的前额盖印之前,不要伤害地球、海洋和树木。” 前额上被盖了印的人的总数为:以色列各支派共十四万四千人,他们来自于以色列每个不同的支派:

以萨迦支派一万二千人;

西布伦支派一万二千人;

约瑟支派一万二千人;

便雅悯支派一万二千人。

众人

接着,我看见面前有一大群人,谁也数不清有多少。这些人来自各个国家、各个支派、各个民族,说各种语言。他们站在宝座和羔羊面前,身穿白袍,手拿棕榈枝, 10 他们呼喊道∶“胜利属于宝座上的上帝,胜利属于羔羊!” 11 所有的天使都站在宝座、长老和四个生物的四周。他们在宝座前以面伏地,敬拜上帝。 12 他们说∶“阿们!愿赞美、荣耀、智慧、感恩、尊崇、权力和力量永远属于上帝,阿们!”

13 一位长老问我∶“那些穿白袍的人是谁?他们是从哪里来的?”

14 我回答说∶“先生,您知道他们是谁。”于是,他对我说∶“他们经历了大迫害,他们用羔羊的血,把自己的长袍洗得干净洁白。 [a] 15 所以他们站在上帝的宝座前,日夜在他的殿里敬拜他。宝座上的人会庇护他们, 16 让他们不再饥渴,不再让骄阳、烈炎灼伤他们。 17 宝座前中间的羔羊会牧养他们,领他们到赋予生命的泉水那里去。上帝会擦去他们的每一滴泪水。”

  1. 啟 示 錄 7:14 意为他们相信耶稣,所以他们的罪得到了宽恕。

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.

144,000 Sealed

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners(A) of the earth, holding back the four winds(B) of the earth to prevent(C) any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal(D) of the living God.(E) He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:(F) “Do not harm(G) the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads(H) of the servants of our God.” Then I heard the number(I) of those who were sealed: 144,000(J) from all the tribes of Israel.

From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,

from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,

from the tribe of Gad 12,000,

from the tribe of Asher 12,000,

from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,

from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,

from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,

from the tribe of Levi 12,000,

from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,

from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000,

from the tribe of Joseph 12,000,

from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.

The Great Multitude in White Robes

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language,(K) standing before the throne(L) and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes(M) and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:

“Salvation belongs to our God,(N)
who sits on the throne,(O)
and to the Lamb.”

11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders(P) and the four living creatures.(Q) They fell down on their faces(R) before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:

“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”(S)

13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes(T)—who are they, and where did they come from?”

14 I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes(U) and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.(V) 15 Therefore,

“they are before the throne of God(W)
    and serve him(X) day and night in his temple;(Y)
and he who sits on the throne(Z)
    will shelter them with his presence.(AA)
16 ‘Never again will they hunger;
    never again will they thirst.(AB)
The sun will not beat down on them,’[a]
    nor any scorching heat.(AC)
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
    will be their shepherd;(AD)
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’[b](AE)
    ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’[c](AF)
