   17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?   
      
   Revelation Chapter 7   
      
   1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners   
   of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should   
   not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.   
      
   2 And I saw another angel ascending 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 hurt the earth and the sea,   
      
   3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we   
   have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.   
      
   4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were   
   sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the   
   children of Israel.   
      
   5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of   
   Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed   
   twelve thousand.   
      
   6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of   
   Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were   
   sealed twelve thousand.   
      
   7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of   
   Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed   
   twelve thousand.   
      
   8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of   
   Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed   
   twelve thousand.   
      
   9 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,   
      
   12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and   
   honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.   
      
   13 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.   
      
   Revelation Chapter 8   
      
   1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven   
   about the space of half an hour.   
      
   2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were   
   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.   
      
   7 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.   
      
   8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning   
   with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;   
      
   9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had   
   life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.   
      
   10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven,   
   burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the   
   rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;   
      
   11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of   
   the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because   
   they were made bitter.   
      
   12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was   
   smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the   
   stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not   
   for a third part of it, and the night likewise.   
      
   13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven,   
   saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth   
   by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which   
   are yet to sound!
