and thanksgiving and honor
and power and strength belong to our God
forever and ever! Amen.”

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.

they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun.

will be their Shepherd.
He will lead them to springs of life-giving water.
And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
