啟示錄第7章

以色列人十四萬四千被印

1此後,我看見四位天使站在地的四角,執掌地上四方的風,叫風不吹在地上、海上,和樹上。
2我又看見另有一位天使,從日出之地上來,拿著永生 神的印。他就向那得著權柄能傷害地和海的四位天使大聲喊著說:
3「地與海並樹木,你們不可傷害,等我們印了我們 神眾僕人的額。」

無數的人從各國各族而來

9此後,我觀看,見有許多的人,沒有人能數過來,是從各國、各族、各民、各方來的,站在寶座和羔羊面前,身穿白衣,手拿棕樹枝,
10大聲喊著說:「願救恩歸與坐在寶座上我們的 神,也歸與羔羊!」
11眾天使都站在寶座和眾長老並四活物的周圍,在寶座前,面伏於地,敬拜 神,
12說:阿們!頌讚、榮耀、智慧、感謝、尊貴、權柄、大力都歸與我們的 神,直到永永遠遠。阿們!

13長老中有一位問我說:「這些穿白衣的是誰?是從哪裡來的?」
14我對他說:「我主,你知道。」他向我說:「這些人是從大患難中出來的,曾用羔羊的血把衣裳洗白淨了。
15所以,他們在 神寶座前,晝夜在他殿中事奉他。坐寶座的要用帳幕覆庇他們。
16他們不再飢,不再渴;日頭和炎熱也必不傷害他們。
17因為寶座中的羔羊必牧養他們,領他們到生命水的泉源; 神也必擦去他們一切的眼淚。」
