Revelation 7:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² Then I saw a second angel coming up from the east (the rising of the sun) and carrying the seal of the living God. And with a loud voice he called out to the four angels who had been given authority and power to injure earth and sea,

³ Saying, Harm neither the earth nor the sea nor the trees, until we have sealed the bond servants of our God upon their foreheads.^(A)

⁴ And [then] I heard how many were sealed (marked) out of every tribe of the sons of Israel: there were 144,000.
