Los 144 000 sellados
7 Después de esto vi a cuatro ángeles en los cuatro ángulos de la tierra. Estaban allí de pie, deteniendo los cuatro vientos para que estos no soplaran sobre la tierra, el mar y los árboles. 2 Vi también a otro ángel que venía del oriente con el sello del Dios vivo. Gritó con voz potente a los cuatro ángeles a quienes se les había permitido hacer daño a la tierra y al mar: 3 «¡No hagan daño ni a la tierra ni al mar ni a los árboles, hasta que hayamos puesto un sello en la frente de los siervos de nuestro Dios!». 4 Y oí el número de los que fueron sellados: ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil de todas las tribus de Israel.
5 De la tribu de Judá fueron sellados doce mil;
de la tribu de Rubén, doce mil;
de la tribu de Gad, doce mil;
6 de la tribu de Aser, doce mil;
de la tribu de Neftalí, doce mil;
de la tribu de Manasés, doce mil;
7 de la tribu de Simeón, doce mil;
de la tribu de Leví, doce mil;
de la tribu de Isacar, doce mil;
8 de la tribu de Zabulón, doce mil;
de la tribu de José, doce mil;
de la tribu de Benjamín, doce mil.
La gran multitud con túnicas blancas
9 Después de esto miré y apareció una multitud tomada de todas las naciones, tribus, pueblos y lenguas; era tan grande que nadie podía contarla. Estaban de pie delante del trono y del Cordero, vestidos de ropas blancas y con ramas de palma en la mano. 10 Proclamaban a gran voz:
«¡La salvación viene de nuestro Dios
que está sentado en el trono
y del Cordero!».
11 Todos los ángeles estaban de pie alrededor del trono, de los ancianos y de los cuatro seres vivientes. Se postraron rostro en tierra delante del trono y adoraron a Dios 12 diciendo:
«¡Amén!
La alabanza, la gloria,
la sabiduría, la acción de gracias,
la honra, el poder y la fortaleza
son de nuestro Dios por los siglos de los siglos.
¡Amén!».
13 Entonces uno de los ancianos me preguntó:
—Esos que están vestidos de blanco, ¿quiénes son y de dónde vienen?
14 —Eso tú lo sabes, mi señor —respondí.
Él me dijo:
—Aquellos son los que están saliendo de la gran tribulación;
han lavado y blanqueado sus túnicas en la sangre del Cordero.
15 Por eso están delante del trono de Dios,
y día y noche le sirven en su templo;
el que está sentado en el trono
les dará refugio con su presencia.[a]
16 Ya no sufrirán hambre ni sed.
No los abatirá el sol ni ningún calor abrasador.
17 Porque el Cordero que está en el trono los gobernará
y los guiará a fuentes de agua viva,
y Dios enjugará toda lágrima de sus ojos.

Dios salvará a su pueblo
7 1-3 Después de esto, vi cuatro ángeles que estaban de pie. Cada uno de ellos miraba a uno de los cuatro puntos cardinales. Estaban deteniendo al viento, para que no soplara sobre la tierra, ni sobre el mar, ni sobre los árboles. Estos cuatro ángeles habían recibido poder para dañar a la tierra y el mar. Vi también a otro ángel, que venía del oriente, el cual tenía el sello del Dios que vive para siempre. Con ese mismo sello debía marcar a todos los que pertenecen a Dios, para protegerlos. Ese ángel les gritó con fuerte voz a los otros cuatro: «¡No dañen la tierra ni el mar, ni los árboles, hasta que hayamos marcado en la frente a los que sirven a nuestro Dios!»
4-8 Luego oí que se mencionaba a las doce tribus de Israel, es decir, a Judá, a Rubén, a Gad, a Aser, a Neftalí, a Manasés, a Simeón, a Leví, a Isacar, a Zabulón, a José y a Benjamín. De cada una de las doce tribus fueron marcados doce mil, es decir, un total de ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil.[a]
9 Después de esto vi a mucha gente de todos los países, y de todas las razas, idiomas y pueblos. ¡Eran tantos que nadie los podía contar! Estaban de pie, delante del trono y del Cordero,[b] vestidos con ropas blancas. En sus manos llevaban ramas de palma,[c] 10 y gritaban con fuerte voz:
«Nos ha salvado nuestro Dios,
que está sentado en el trono,
y también el Cordero.»
11 Todos los ángeles estaban de pie alrededor del trono, y alrededor de los ancianos y de los cuatro seres vivientes. Ellos se inclinaron delante del trono, hasta tocar el suelo con la frente, y adoraron a Dios 12 diciendo:
«¡Alabemos a nuestro Dios!
¡Así sea!
»Admiremos su fama y sabiduría,
su poder y fortaleza.
Demos a nuestro Dios,
gracias y honor por siempre.
¡Así sea!»
13 Entonces, uno de los ancianos me preguntó:
—¿Quiénes son los que están vestidos de blanco? ¿De dónde vienen?
14 Yo le respondí:
—Señor, usted lo sabe.
Y él me dijo:
—Son los que no murieron durante el tiempo de gran sufrimiento que hubo en la tierra. Ellos confiaron en Dios, y él les perdonó sus pecados por medio de la muerte del Cordero.
15 »Por eso están ahora
delante del trono de Dios,
y día y noche
le sirven en su templo.
»Dios estará con ellos,
y los protegerá.
16 »Ya no tendrán hambre ni sed,
ni los quemará el sol
ni los molestará el calor.
17 »Dios secará todas sus lágrimas,
y los cuidará el Cordero
que está en medio del trono,
así como el pastor
cuida sus ovejas
y las lleva a manantiales
de agua que da vida.

144,000 Sealed
7 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. 2 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) 3 “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.” 4 Then I heard the number(I) of those who were sealed: 144,000(J) from all the tribes 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.
The Great Multitude in White Robes
9 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:
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)

Chapter 7
An Immense Crowd before God’s Throne.[a] 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 could blow on land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel rising from the east, bearing the seal of the living God. He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given the power to ravage the land and the sea, 3 “Do not damage the land or the sea or the trees until we have set the seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
4 Then I heard how many had been marked with the seal—one hundred and forty-four thousand from all the tribes of Israel:
5 From the tribe of Judah,[b] twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand,
6 from the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand,
7 from the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand,
8 from the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand.
9 After this, in my vision, I witnessed a vast throng that no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and language. They were standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. 10 They cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs 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, prostrated themselves before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
“Amen. Praise and glory,
wisdom and thanksgiving,
honor and power and might,
be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders spoke to me and inquired, “Who are these people, all dressed in white robes, and where have they come from?” 14 I replied, “My lord, you are the one who knows.” Then he said to me, “These are the ones who have survived the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 “That is why they stand before the throne of God
and worship him day and night in his temple,
and the one who sits on the throne will shelter them.
16 They will never again experience hunger or thirst,
nor will the sun or any scorching heat cause them discomfort.
17 For the Lamb who is at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd.
He will guide them to springs of living water,[c]
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Footnotes
- Revelation 7:1 In 587 B.C., on the eve of the destruction of Jerusalem, the survivors were, so to speak, marked to be preserved from the catastrophe (see Ezek 9). The great fear is not for the community of the persecuted. The calamities that will overtake the world will not touch them. Thus, God gathers together his Elect. They may go through the trial of the years A.D. 66 to 70 and finally the history of the world, which is that of the sufferings of the Church. But they will not fall prey to condemnation. This people that is gathered together is first of all the Remnant of Israel. From each of the twelve tribes there will be twelve thousand survivors: this is a symbolic number meaning fullness and perfection. Then the vision is enlarged: the Remnant becomes a multitude without number, gathered together from amid all the nations of the earth. From all sides come forth the martyrs and all those who endured trials: the whole Church. This is a grandiose celebration of happiness and triumph. In a striking foreshortening, the author sketches a tableau of the Church in the grip of tribulations and persecutions, assisted by Christ, her Shepherd, and led toward her heavenly victory, which anticipates the splendid final vision of the new Jerusalem (Rev 21:1—22:5).
- Revelation 7:5 Judah is placed first because of Christ, who is “the Lion of the tribe of Judah” (Rev 5:5). Manasseh: one of the two halves of the tribe of Joseph that are both cited (the other being Ephraim but called “Joseph” in v. 8)—doubtless in order to make up twelve tribes. Daniel is omitted probably because of a late tradition that the Antichrist was to arise from that tribe.
- Revelation 7:17 Springs of living water: i.e., the grace of God, which flows from Christ (see Rev 21:6; 22:1, 17; Jn 4:10, 14).

7 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.
2 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,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
