44 and I asked the angel, “Who are these people, sir?”
45 He replied, “These are people who have taken off their mortal robes and have put on immortal ones. They have confessed their faith in God, and now they are being given crowns and palm branches as symbols of their victory.”
46 Then I asked the angel, “Who is the young man who is putting the crowns on their heads and giving them the palms?”
47 “He is the Son of God,” the angel replied, “and all these people confessed their faith in him while they lived on earth.” Then I began to praise those who had stood for the Lord so bravely.
48 And the angel said to me, “Go and tell my people what you have seen, the many marvelous wonders of the Lord.”
