  • Revelation 14
    And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
    And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
    And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
    These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
    And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
    And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
    Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
    And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
    And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
    The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
    And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
    Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
    And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
    And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
    And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
    And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
    And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
    And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
    And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
    And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

  • Zechariah 12
    The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
    Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
    And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
    In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
    And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
    In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
    The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
    In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
    And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
    And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
    In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
    And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
    The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
    All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

  • Job 37
    At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
    Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
    He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
    After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
    God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
    For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
    He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
    Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
    Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
    By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
    Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
    And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
    He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
    Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
    Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
    Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
    How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
    Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
    Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
    Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
    And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
    Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
    Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
    Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

  • Job 35,36
    Elihu spake moreover, and said,
    Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
    For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
    I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
    Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
    If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
    If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
    Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
    By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
    But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
    Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
    There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
    Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
    Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
    But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
    Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
    Elihu also proceeded, and said,
    Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
    I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
    For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
    Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
    He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
    He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
    And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
    Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
    He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
    If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
    But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
    But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
    They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
    He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
    Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
    But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
    Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
    Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
    Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
    Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
    Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
    Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
    Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
    Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
    Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
    For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
    Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
    Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
    Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
    For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
    With clouds he covereth the light; and comma

  • Revelation 12,13
    And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
    And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
    And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
    And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
    And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
    And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
    And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
    And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
    And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
    And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
    And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
    Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
    And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
    And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
    And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
    And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
    And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
    And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
    And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
    And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
    And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
    And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
    And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
    And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
    And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
    If any man have an ear, let him hear.
    He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the swo

  • Zechariah 11
    Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
    Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
    There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
    Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
    Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
    For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.
    And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
    Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
    Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
    And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
    And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
    And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
    And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
    Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
    And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
    For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
    Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

  • Job 34
    Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
    Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
    For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
    Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
    For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
    Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
    What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
    Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
    For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
    Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
    For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
    Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
    Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
    If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
    All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
    If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
    Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
    Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
    How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
    In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
    For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
    There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
    For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
    He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
    Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
    He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
    Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
    So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
    When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
    That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
    Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
    That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
    Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
    Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
    Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
    My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
    For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

  • Revelation 10,11
    And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
    And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
    And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
    And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
    And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
    And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
    But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
    And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
    And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
    And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
    And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
    And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
    But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
    And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
    These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
    And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
    These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
    And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
    And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
    And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
    And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
    And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
    And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
    And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
    The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

    Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
    For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.
    Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
    Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
    And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
    And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.
    And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.
    I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
    And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
    I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.
    And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
    And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.

    And 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.
    And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
    Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
    And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
    Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
    Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
    Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
    Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
    After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
    And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
    And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
    Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
    And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
