Then I heard the number of those who were sealed. [It was] one hundred forty-four thousand [in all] from every tribe of the Israelites [Note: This could refer to Christians of Jewish descent].

Then I saw another strong angel descend from heaven; he was clad in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, his face like the sun, his feet like columns of fire,

And he performs great signs, so that he can indeed make fire descend out of the heaven to the earth in presence of the people.

After that I saw another angel descend from heaven, great in might; his radiance lit up the earth,

Then I saw an angel descend from heaven with the key of the abyss and a huge chain in his hand;

they will spread on the surface of the earth, and encompass the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and fire shall descend from God out of heaven, and devour them.

and I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descend from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
