Revelation 7 – Sealing the Servants of God for the Final Crisis

Before the seventh seal is opened, a divine pause occurs. Four angels hold back the winds of destruction while God seals His servants. Revelation 7 introduces the 144,000—symbolic of a faithful remnant—and a vast multitude clothed in white robes, redeemed by the Lamb.

Divine Pause Before Final Judgment

Revelation 6 ended with a haunting question: “Who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 7 answers it. As the earth braces for final judgment, God marks His faithful—those who will stand through the storm. The 144,000 represent the sealed remnant, while the great multitude shows the global harvest of the redeemed.

Four angels hold back judgment to allow time for sealing.
The 144,000 are sealed from the tribes of Israel.
A great multitude stands before the throne in victory.
Both groups are linked to end-time faithfulness and redemption.

📖 Key Verse: “Hurt not the earth… till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.” – Revelation 7:3

🔎 God always secures His people before judgment falls.
