And I heard how many were marked with the seal of God—144,000
were sealed from all the tribes of Israel:

After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and
tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before
the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in
their hands. And they were shouting with a great roar,
“Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne
and from the Lamb!”
And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living beings. And they fell before the throne with their
faces to the ground and worshiped God. They sang,
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor
and power and strength belong to our God
forever and ever! Amen.”
Then one of the twenty-four elders asked me, “Who are these who are
clothed in white? Where did they come from?”
And I said to him, “Sir, you are the one who knows.”
Then he said to me, “These are the ones who died in the great tribulation. They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made
them white.
“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.
