[1]Then after this, I saw four messengers standing upon the four corners of the earth, gripping the four windsⓘ of the earth in their hands, so that the wind would not be upon the earth nor upon the waters, nor on any tree.
[2]And I saw another messenger who came from the east of the sun. With him was the seal of the living and existing El. He cried out with a great voice to the four messengers who were permitted to damage the earth and the sea.
[3]He said, "Don't damage the earth, nor the sea, nor even a tree, until I give a mark [thaw]ⓘ upon the foreheadsⓘ of the servantsⓘ of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄."
[4]Then I heard the number that was sealed. One hundred forty-four thousand were sealed of the clans194 of the children of Israel:ⓘ
[5]From the tribe of Judah were twelve thousand. From the tribe of Reuben were twelve thousand. From the tribe of Gad were twelve thousand.
[6]From the tribe of Asher were twelve thousand. From the tribe of Naphtali were twelve thousand. From the tribe of Manasseh were twelve thousand.
[7]From the tribe of Simeon were twelve thousand. From the tribe of Levi were twelve thousand. From the tribe of Issachar were twelve thousand.
[8]From the tribe of Zebulun were twelve thousand. From the tribe of Joseph were twelve thousand. From the tribe of Benjamin were twelve thousand.
[9]Then after this, I saw a great multitude that no oneⓘ could number, from all the nations standing before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white garments, with branches in their hands.
[10]They cried out with a great voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and to the Lamb!"
[11]And all standing before the throne, the messengers, the elders, and the living creatures, fallen on their faces before the throne, praying to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
[12]saying, "Praise and thanksgiving, adoration, honor, glory, power, and strength be to our Elohim forever to ever. Amen!"
[13]Then one of the elders answered and said to me, "Who are these dressed in white garments? From what place do they come?"
[14]I said to Him, "Master, You know." And He said to me, "These are those coming out of the midst of much sorrow. They have washed and purified their garments by the blood of the Lamb."
[15]For this reason, they are before the throne of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and shall serve Him day and night. And this One sitting upon the throne will dwell among them.
[16]Sheⓘ will not hunger, nor thirst, nor be afflicted by the scorching heat and sun!ⓘ
[17]For the Lamb shall lead them to a well of waters, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Elohim will wipe the tear from all faces.
