After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could
number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before
the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10
And cried with a loud voice, saying,
Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11
And all the angels stood
round about the throne, and
about
the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their
faces, and worshipped God,

Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving,
and honour, and power, and might,
be
unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

And one of the
elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence
came they?
14
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which
came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of
the Lamb.
15
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple:
and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16
They shall hunger no more, neither
thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17
For the Lamb which is in the
midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to themwere given seven trumpets.
3
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto
him much incense, that he should offer
it
with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which
was before the throne.
4
And the smoke of the incense,
which came
with the prayers of the saints,
ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.
5
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with
fire of the altar, and cast
it
into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings,
and an earthquake.
6
And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to
sound.

The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were
cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
