Unchecked Copy BoxRev 7:15 - “Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.

the sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.

and he will guide them to springs of living water,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
