Revelation 7

The Sealed of Israel

1After this I saw four angels # 7:1 Rv 9:14 standing at the four corners of the earth, restraining the four winds of the earth # 7:1 Is 11:12; Jr 49:36; Ezk 7:2; Dn 7:2; Zch 6:5; Mt 24:31; Rv 20:7–8 so that no wind could blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. 2Then I saw another angel rising up from the east, # 7:2 Is 41:2 who had the seal of the living God. # 7:2 Rv 7:3; 9:4 He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who were allowed to harm the earth and the sea, 3“Don’t harm the earth or the sea or the trees # 7:3 Rv 3:12; 6:6; 9:4 until we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads.” # 7:3 Ezk 9:4,6; Rv 13:16; 14:1,9; 20:4; 22:4 4And I heard the number of the sealed:

144,000 sealed from every tribe of the Israelites: # 7:4 Gn 35:23–26

512,000 sealed from the tribe of Judah,

12,000 from the tribe of Reuben,

12,000 from the tribe of Gad,

612,000 from the tribe of Asher,

12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali,

12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,

712,000 from the tribe of Simeon,

12,000 from the tribe of Levi,

12,000 from the tribe of Issachar,

12,000 from the tribe of Joseph,

12,000 sealed from the tribe of Benjamin.

A Multitude from the Great Tribulation

9After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, # 7:9 Rv 5:9; 11:9; 13:7; 14:6 which no one could number, # 7:9 Gn 15:5; 32:12 standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hands. # 7:9 Lv 23:40; Jn 12:13 10And they cried out in a loud voice:

Salvation belongs to our God, # 7:10 Ex 15:2; 2Ch 20:17; Ps 3:8; 67:2; Is 12:2; 49:6; 51:6,8; 52:10; Jnh 2:9; Ac 4:12; Rm 1:6; 1Pt 1:5; Rv 12:10; 19:1

who is seated on the throne,

and to the Lamb!

11All the angels stood around the throne, and along with the elders and the four living creatures they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God, 12saying,

Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom

and thanksgiving and honor

and power and strength

be to our God forever and ever. # 7:12 Rv 4:11 Amen.

13Then one of the elders asked me, “Who are these people in white robes, and where did they come from? ”

14I said to him, “Sir, # 7:14 Or “My lord you know.”

Then he told me: These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. # 7:14 Dn 12:1; Mk 13:19; Rv 3:10; 6:11 They washed their robes and made them white # 7:14 Ps 51:7; Is 1:18; 43:25; 44:22; Heb 9:24; 1Jn 1:7 in the blood of the Lamb.

15For this reason they are before the throne of God,

and they serve him day and night # 7:15 Rv 4:8 in his temple. # 7:15 Rv 3:12; 11:1,2,19; 14:15,17; 15:5–6,8; 16:1,17; 21:22

The one seated on the throne will shelter # 7:15 Or will spread his tent over them: # 7:15 Ps 27:5; 31:20; 61:4; Is 25:4; Rv 21:3

16They will no longer hunger;

they will no longer thirst;

the sun will no longer strike them,

nor will any scorching heat. # 7:16 Dt 28:22; Is 49:10; Jn 6:35

17For the Lamb who is at the center of the throne

will shepherd them; # 7:17 Ps 23:1; Ezk 34:23

he will guide them to springs of the waters of life, # 7:17 Ps 23:2; Is 49:10; Jr 2:13

and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. # 7:17 Is 25:8; Rv 21:4

Hisgalus 7

1After this I saw arba'ah malachim (angels) taking their stand on the arbah pinot ha'aretz (the four corners of the earth), holding the four winds of ha'aretz (the earth) so that wind should not blow on ha'aretz (the earth) nor on the yam (sea) nor on any etz (tree).#7:1 Isa 11:12; Jer 49:36; Ezek 37:9; Dan 7:2; Zech 6:5 2And I saw another malach (angel) coming up from the rising of the shemesh (sun), having a chotam (seal) of the Elohim Chayyim (Living G-d), and he cried with a kol gadol (loud voice) to the four malachim (angels). These were the malachim to whom it was given to harm ha'aretz (the earth) and hayam (the sea), 3Saying, Do not harm ha'aretz (the earth) nor hayam (the sea) nor haetzim (the trees), until we have marked with the chotam (seal) the avadim (servants) of Eloheinu upon their metsakhim (foreheads).#7:3 Ezek 9:4 4And I heard the mispar (number) of the ones having been sealed, 144,000, having been marked with the chotam (seal) from kol shivtei Bnei Yisroel (every tribe of the Sons of Israel),

5Of the shevet of Yehudah, 12,000 having been sealed;

9After these things I looked, and, hinei, a great multitude, which to number no one was being able, out of every nation and from shevatim (tribes) and haumim (the peoples) and lashonot (tongues), standing before the Kes (Throne) and before the SEH (Lamb),#7:9 Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7 Moshiach each clothed with a kittel and lulavim in their hands. 10And they cried with a kol gadol (loud voice), saying, Yeshu'at Eloheinu is of Hashem, our G-d, the One sitting on the Kes (Throne), and of the SEH#7:10 Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7 Moshiach (Lamb). 11And all the malachim stood around the Kes (Throne) and the Zekenim#7:11 Ex 12:21 (Elders) and the Arbah Chayyot and they fell before the Kes (Throne) on their faces and they worshiped Hashem, saying,#7:11 Ps 3:8 12Omein, the bracha (blessing) and the kavod (glory) and the chochmah (wisdom) and the hodayah (thanksgiving) and the hod (honor) and the oz (power) and the gevurah (strength) be to Hashem Eloheinu l'Olelamei Olamim. Omein.

13And one of the Zekenim#7:13 Ex 12:21 (Elders) answered, saying to me, These ones, each wearing a kittel, who are they and from where did they come? 14And I said to him, Adoni, you have da'as. And he said to me, These are the ones coming out of HaTzarah HaGedolah#7:14 Mt 24:29f (The Great Tribulation) and each washed his kittel and whitened it in the dahm of the SEH#7:14 Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7 Moshiach (Lamb). 15Therefore, they are before the Kes (Throne) of Hashem and serve Him yomam valailah in His Beis Hamikdash, and the One sitting on the Kes (Throne) will pitch the tent of His Mishkan over them.#7:15 Isa 4:5 16They will hunger no more nor thirst nor shall the shemesh (sun) strike them nor any scorching heat,#7:16 Isa 49:10 17Because the SEH, (Lamb),#7:17 Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7 Moshiach at the center of the Kes (Throne), will shepherd them and will lead them to the Makor Mayim Chayyim (Fountain, source of Living Waters),#7:17 Jer 2:13 and Hashem will wipe away every tear from their eynayim.#7:17 Isa 25:8; 35:10; 51:11; 65:19
