Rev.
7:1 After this I saw four angels
standing at the four corners of
the earth, holding back the four
winds of the earth, so that no
wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the
rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he
cried out with a loud voice to the four
angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “ Do not harm the earth or the
sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on
their foreheads.”

Revelation
7:1-3 —Interlude: Angels Await Sealing of 144,000 Servants from 12 Tribes of
Israel
Rev.
7:1 After this I saw four angels
standing at the four corners of
the earth, holding back the four
winds of the earth, so that no
wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the
rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he
cried out with a loud voice to the four
angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “ Do not harm the earth or the
sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on
their foreheads.”
After seeing the vision of the Lamb
breaking the first six seals (Rev. 6), what does John see? (7:1-2)
“After this I
saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the
four winds of the earth so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea
or on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun,
having the seal of the living God. . .” (Rev 7:1-2).
Describe the angels (how
many, their location, activity, command).
§ Four
angels: four corners of
the earth; holding back the four winds of the earth; authority given to them to
harm the earth and the sea. (7:1-2).
§ Another
angel: ascending from
the rising of the sun (east); has the seal of the living God; cried out with a
loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the
sea, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the
bond-servants of our God on their foreheads” (7:2-3).
What must happen before the
four angels can do harm to the earth, sea, or trees?
The four
angels are commanded by another angel not to harm the earth, sea, or trees
“until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads” (7:3).
What do you learn about God from Rev.
7:1-3?
God
protects His bond-servants by placing His seal on their foreheads. The
bond-servants of the living God do not share in the common judgment of fallen
humanity. God spares His bond-servants from judgment.
How could this transform your life?
Trust
God to remember.
LORD God Almighty, Covenant
God, God of Yeshua Your Lamb, Lion of Judah, and King of Israel, God of
Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, God of Israel, God of David, God of both
Jews and Gentiles, Living God of terrifying holiness and glorious grace, God of
heavenly armies and human bond-servants. How great and glorious is Your Name, a
strong tower, solid rock, and safe refuge. Great is Your faithfulness! In the
heat of judgment, You remember Your bond-servants and place Your seal upon
their foreheads, that all may know that You are their God, the Living God, Who
tabernacles His own. Your seal shields and spares Your bond-servants by Your
great and powerful Name. No power in heaven or earth, above or below, can
breach the seal of Your protection. Your bond-servants are fearless because You
are fearful and faithful. Great and glorious is Your Name! May You be glorified
in this moment, forever, and always, from the heights above to the depths
below, to the ends of the earth. May every creature tremble at the sound of
Your great Name. In the stillness of that day, may Your bond-servants exult in
the glory of the One Whose seal they
bear. Salvation to You Who sits on the throne and to the Lamb. Blessing and
glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to You, our
God, forever and ever. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
