"After this I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue. They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice: Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne and from the Lamb.... All the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They prostrated themselves before the throne, worshipped God." (Rev 7:9-11)
