4 6:7And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth cherub say, Come. 6:8And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and one sat on it, whose name was Death, and Hades followed him, and there was given him power over a fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the beasts of the earth.
5 6:9And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those killed for the word of God and for the testimony which they had. 6:10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, Master, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those that dwell on the earth? 6:11And a white robe was given them, and it was told them to rest yet a little while, till their fellow servants and their brothers and those about to be killed as they also had been should finish [their testimony].
6 6:12And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and all the moon became as blood, 6:13and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts down its unseasonable figs when shaken with a mighty wind, 6:14and heaven departed like a book rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved from their places. 6:15And the kings of the earth and the great men and the chiliarchs and the rich and the mighty and every servant and freeman hid themselves in caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 6:16and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, 6:17for the great day of his wrath has come, and who can stand?
7 7:1And after this I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 7:2And I saw another angel ascend from the east, having the seal of the living God, and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to injure the earth and the sea, 7:3saying, Injure not the earth nor the sea nor the trees, till we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads. 7:4And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand were sealed from every tribe of the children of Israel.
8 7:5From the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, 7:6from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, 7:7from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, 7:8from the tribe of Zebulon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand.
9 7:9After this I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and having palm branches in their hands; 7:10and they cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation be to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb. 7:11And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four cherubs, and fell down before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 7:12saying, Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever.
10 7:13And one of the elders answered and said to me, Who are those clothed with white robes, and whence did they come? 7:14And I said to him, My Lord, you know. And he said to me, These are those who come out from great affliction, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 7:15Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that sits on the throne will dwell among them. 7:16And they shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun strike them nor any heat, 7:17for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall feed them and lead them to fountains of the waters of life, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
