Revelation 7

The Sealed of Israel

1 After this I saw four angels  * 7:1 Rv 9:14 standing at the four corners of the earth, restraining the four winds of the earth  * 7:1 Is 11:12; Jr 49:36; Ezk 7:2; Dn 7:2; Zch 6:5; Mt 24:31; Rv 20:7–8 so that no wind could blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel rising up from the east,  * 7:2 Is 41:2 who had the seal of the living God.  * 7:2 Rv 7:3; 9:4 He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who were allowed to harm the earth and the sea, 3 "Don’t harm the earth or the sea or the trees  * 7:3 Rv 3:12; 6:6; 9:4 until we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads."  * 7:3 Ezk 9:4,6; Rv 13:16; 14:1,9; 20:4; 22:44 And I heard the number of the sealed:
