19 Nevertheless the foundation of God
standeth sure,

Revelation 7:1-8
King James Version
7 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.
2 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,
3 Saying,
Hurt not the earth,
neither the sea,
nor the trees,
till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 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.

Revelation 14:2-3
King James Version
2 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:
3 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.
Revelation 14:4-5
King James Version
4 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.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile:
for they are without fault before the throne of God.
