Bible. Revelation
7:10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God,
who sitteth upon the throne and to the Lamb.
7:11. And all the angels stood round about the throne and the ancients
and the four living creatures. And they fell down before the throne upon
their faces and adored God,
7:12. Saying: Amen. Benediction and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving,
honour and power and strength, to our God, for ever and ever. Amen.
7:13. And one of the ancients answered and said to me: These that are
clothed in white robes, who are they? And whence came they?
7:14. And I said to him: My Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These
are they who are come out of great tribulation and have washed their
robes and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
7:15. Therefore, they are before the throne of God: and they serve him
day and night in his temple. And he that sitteth on the throne shall
dwell over them.
7:16. They shall no more hunger nor thirst: neither shall the sun fall
on them, nor any heat.
7:17. For the Lamb, which is in the midst of the throne, shall rule them
and shall lead them to the fountains of the waters of life: and God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

the prayers of all saints, upon the golden altar which is before the
throne of God.
8:4. And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended
up before God from the hand of the angel.
8:5. And the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the
altar and cast it on the earth: and there were thunders and voices and
lightnings and a great earthquake.
8:6. And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves
to sound the trumpet.
8:7. And the first angel sounded the trumpet: and there followed hail
and fire, mingled with blood: and it was cast on the earth. And the
third part of the earth was burnt up: and the third part of the trees
was burnt up: and all green grass was burnt up.
8:8. And the second angel sounded the trumpet: and, as it were, a great
mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea. And the third part
of the sea became blood.
8:9. And the third part of those creatures died which had life in the
sea: and the third part of the ships was destroyed.
8:10. And the third angel sounded the trumpet: and a great star fell
