thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Rev 14:3 And
they [the 144,000] sung as it were a new song before the
throne, and before the four [ 4 ] beasts, and the elders: and no man could
learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand [ 144000
144,000 ], which were redeemed from the earth.

are they [the 144,000 men] which were not defiled with women;
for they are virgins.

follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed
from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

in their mouth was found no guile [no lie]: for they are
without fault before the throne of God.

and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the [sea]
