ulation, and have washed their robes and
made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Therefore are they before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple:
and he that stitch on the throne shall dwell
among them. They shall hunger no more,
neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun
light on them, nor any heat For the Lamb,
which is in the midst of the throne, shall feed
them, and shall lead them unto living foun-
tains of waters; and God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes,"
