After that I looked, and there was a great host whom no one could count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clad in white robes, with palm-branches in their hands;

(they are the two olive-trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth):

"Do no harm to earth or sea or trees, until we seal the servants of our God upon their foreheads."

The first blew, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, falling on the earth; a third of the earth was burnt up, a third of the trees were burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.
