Chapter summary

Revelation 7 — A Great Multitude

Between seal six and seven, John sees the servants of God sealed and a vast multitude before the throne — from every nation, tribe, and tongue, in white robes washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Four angels hold back the winds while a fifth seals the servants of God on their foreheads — twelve thousand from each tribe of Israel.

Then John sees a great multitude no one can number, from every nation, tribe, people, and tongue, standing before the throne and the Lamb.

They cry, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" — and angels, elders, and the four living creatures fall on their faces in worship.

These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb — and God will shelter them.
