Revelation Chapter 7
1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the land, on the sea or on any tree. 2 I saw another angel coming up from the east with a seal from the living God, and he shouted to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea,
3 "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!"
4 I heard how many were sealed - 144,000 from every tribe of the people of Isra'el:
5 From the tribe of Y'hudah 12,000 were sealed
from the tribe of Re'uven 12,000
from the tribe of Gad, 12,000
6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000
from the tribe of Naftali 12,000
from the tribe of M'nasheh 12,000
7 from the tribe of Shim'on 12,000
from the tribe of Levi 12,000
from the tribe of Yissakhar 12,000
8 from the tribe of Z'vulun 12,000
from the tribe of Yosef 12,000
from the tribe of Binyamin 12,000
Then we move ahead 7 more chapters to 14:
1 Then I looked, and there was the Lamb standing on Mount Tziyon; and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. 2 I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of rushing waters and like the sound of pealing thunder; the sound I heard was also like that of harpists playing on their harps. 3 They were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living beings and the elders, and no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who have been ransomed from the world. 4 These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins; they follow the Lamb wherever he goes; they have been ransomed from among humanity as firstfruits for God and the Lamb; 5 on their lips no lie was found - they are without defect.
