Revelation 7

The Sealed of Israel

1 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, *Jer. 49:36; Dan. 7:2; Zech. 6:5; Matt. 24:31holding the four winds of the earth, *Rev. 7:3; 8:7; 9:4that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. 2 Then 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 granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, *Rev. 6:6"Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God *Ezek. 9:4, 6; Rev. 22:4on their foreheads." 4 *Rev. 9:16And I heard the number of those who were sealed. *Rev. 14:1, 3One hundred and forty-four thousand *Gen. 49:1–27of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:
