9. Then I looked, and there was a great number of people. There were so many people that no one could count them. They were from every nation, tribe, people, and language of the earth. They were all standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They wore white robes and had palm branches in their hands.
10. They were shouting in a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
11. The elders and the four living things were there. All the angels were standing around them and the throne. The angels bowed down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God.
12. They were saying, “Amen! Praise, glory, wisdom, thanks, honor, power, and strength belong to our God forever and ever. Amen!”
13. Then one of the elders asked me, “Who are these people in white robes? Where did they come from?”
