New Testament
| 7:1 | Now after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. |
| 7:2 | Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he shouted with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, |
| 7:3 | saying, "Do not harm the earth, neither the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads." |
| 7:4 | And I heard the number of them who were sealed. And one hundred and forty four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed: |
| 7:5 | of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed; |
| 7:6 | of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed; |
| 7:7 | of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed. |
| 7:8 | of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed. |
| 7:9 | After this I looked, and behold, a large multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, |
| 7:10 | and shouting out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!" |
| 7:11 | And all the angels stood surrounding the throne and among the elders and the four creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, |
| 7:12 | saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen." |
| 7:13 | Then one of the elders responded, saying to me, "Who are these that are clothed in white robes? and where did they come from?" |
| 7:14 | And I said to him, "Sir, you know." So he said to me, "These are those who have come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. |
| 7:15 | Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will live among them. |
| 7:16 | They will not hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; neither will the sun strike them, nor any heat; |
| 7:17 | Because, the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them and will lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." |
King James Bible 2016
Unlike most other modern versions, this Bible's text is based upon the same Hebrew Masoretic Text, and Greek Textus Receptus, of the King James Version of 1611.
In non Textus Receptus versions, the issue of having the best underlying manuscripts, is often overshadowed by the massive amount of omissions in the text. Because the KJV 2016 is not dealing with issues of omission and addition, the focus has been upon definition, and the KJV translators choices have been used as the benchmark.
One issue not often majored upon in the bible version debate is simply the way Greek words are defined. Many times, the NKJV leans upon the definition choices of modern versions as well as defaulting to Vines and Strong's definitions, which are almost always favorable to the Revised Version. In other words, one may have a correct text to translate from, but use erroneous modern version/modern dictionary definitions which change or distort the meaning of the words. Jay Green was accused of having a good TR bible but with "Alexandrian readings".
The KJV 2016 Edition rejects such erroneous modern definitions and restores the distinctness of historical KJV readings. The NKJV also tended to gravitate toward KJV marginal notes, which are in truth, rejected readings, and also toward Geneva Bible definitions, which the KJV had already cleared up.
