Los 144.000 sellados

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 se desataran sobre la tierra, el mar y los árboles. 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: «¡No hagáis 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!» Y oí el número de los que fueron sellados: ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil de todas las tribus de Israel.

De la tribu de Judá fueron sellados doce mil;

de la tribu de Rubén, doce mil;

de la tribu de Gad, doce mil;

de la tribu de Aser, doce mil;

de la tribu de Neftalí, doce mil;

de la tribu de Manasés, doce mil;

de la tribu de Simeón, doce mil;

de la tribu de Leví, doce mil;

de la tribu de Isacar, doce mil;

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

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 túnicas blancas y con ramas de palma en la mano. 10 Gritaban 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;
y el que está sentado en el trono
    les dará refugio en su santuario.[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 pastoreará
    y los guiará a fuentes de agua viva;
y Dios enjugará toda lágrima de sus ojos.

Angels Seal 144,000 Slaves of God On Their Foreheads With The Seal of God

After this[a] I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding-back the four winds of the earth in order that a wind might not blow on the land, nor on the sea, nor against any tree. And I saw another angel coming-up from the rising of the sun[b], having a seal of the living God. And he cried-out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom authority was given to them to harm the land and the sea, saying “Do not harm the land nor the sea nor the trees until we seal[c] the slaves of our God upon their foreheads”. And I heard the number of the ones having been sealed, one-hundred forty four thousand, having been sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel— from[d] the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand having been sealed; from the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand having been sealed.

A Multitude Having Died In The Great Affliction Worship God Before His Throne

After these things I saw, and behold— there was a great multitude (which, no one was able to number it) from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, having been clothed-with[e] white robes, and palm-branches in their hands. 10 And they are crying-out with a loud voice, saying “Salvation[f] belongs to[g] our God sitting on the throne and to the Lamb”. 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and the elders and the four living-creatures. And they fell on their faces before the throne and gave-worship to God, 12 saying “Amen. The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honor and the power and the strength be to our God forever and ever, amen”. 13 And one of the elders responded, saying to me, “These ones having been clothed-with the white robes— who are they, and from where did they come?” 14 And I have said to him, “My lord, you know”. And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great affliction[h]. And they washed their robes and made them white[i] in the blood of the Lamb. 15 For this reason, they are before the throne of God, and they are serving[j] Him by day and by night in His temple. And the One sitting on the throne will dwell over them. 16 They will not hunger anymore, nor thirst anymore, nor may the sun fall upon them, nor any scorching-heat. 17 Because the Lamb at the center of the throne will shepherd them, and guide them to springs of the waters of life. And God will wipe-away[k] every tear 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,

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)
