WELCOME BACK ! LET CONTINUE FROM WHERE WE STOP
according to the book of revelation, God's judgement is divided into three series. They are;
- 7 seal that will be broken
- 7 Trumpet that will be blown and
- 7 Bowls that will be poured out.
Chapter 6 revealed the judgement that follows when each of the seal will be opened. But something happened between the sixth seal and the seventh seal. That is what chapter seven contains and details explanation will be given below.
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes
now we have the complete verse, let begin to explain.
In verse 1; John saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth. Although, the earth is spherical in shape, I believe these angels were standing at four strategic places in space where they can be able to influence the entire earth space. In verse two he saw another mighty angel giving instruction to the first four angel to wait for a while until the servants of God were sealed in there four head.
In verse 4, 144,000 people were sealed and they were all Jews. twelve from each tribe. some believe that these 144,000 people were special prince chosen by God for specific purpose. i believes this are Jewish believers who will brings uncountable unbelievers to Christ through their witnesses during the great tribulation period. This is written in Revelation 14: 3-5.
in verse 9; a great multitude were seen by John which represent souls that will be saved during the great tribulation era, with palm branches on their hands glorifying God for His mercy and salvation which they had gotten through the blood of the lamb of God. They are people from all languages, tribe, culture, ethnic groups of the earth. These people will have the seal of God on their fore head which signify acceptance and qualification to spend eternity in God's kingdom.
During these ere all men that exist on earth will either have the mark of the beast on their fore head or the seal of God on their fore head. thank you for reading this article. Jesus is coming very soon!!!
