Praise from the Great Crowd

“Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne
and from the Lamb!”

“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor
and power and strength belong to our God
forever and ever! Amen.”

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:14 - And I said to him, “Sir, you are the one who knows.”
Then he said to me, “These are the ones who died in[fn] the great tribulation.[fn] They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:15 - “That is why they stand in front of God’s throne
and serve him day and night in his Temple.
And he who sits on the throne
will give them shelter.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:16 - They will never again be hungry or thirsty;
they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:17 - For the Lamb on the throne[fn]
will be their Shepherd.
He will lead them to springs of life-giving water.
And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
