Revelation 7:1-8
New International Reader's Version
144,000 People Are Marked With the Seal of the Living God
7 After this I saw four angels. They were standing at the four corners of the earth. They were holding back the four winds of the earth. This kept the winds from blowing on the land or the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east. He brought the official seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels. They had been allowed to harm the land and the sea. 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees,” he said. “Wait until we mark with this seal the foreheads of those who serve our God.” 4 Then I heard how many people were marked with the seal. There were 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
