Before the four winds are released, an angel seals 144,000 servants of God from the twelve tribes of Israel on their foreheads. A great multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and tongue stands before the throne in white robes with palm branches, crying out salvation to God and the Lamb, with angels falling to worship. An elder identifies them as those who have come out of the great tribulation and washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb; they serve before God's throne day and night, with the Lamb shepherding them to living waters and God wiping every tear from their eyes.
