Revelation
Chapter 7
The
Sixth Seal
SEALING OF THE 144,000 JEWS
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 should blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree
(vs. 1)
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,
(vs. 2)
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.”
(vs. 3)
And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of Israel:

Seal Of The Living God
And the Lord said to him, Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst. Utterly slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women, but do not touch any man on whom is the mark; and you shall start from My sanctuary.” So they started with the elders who were before the temple.
(Ezek.9:4,6)

Points To Ponder
The Lord knows those who are His and it is those whom He will take with Him when He returns for His people. If you have not yet made Him your Lord and Saviour, why not do so right now?

THE GREAT MULTITUDE (INTERNATIONAL)
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands
(vs. 9)
And they cry out with a loud voice saying, “ Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
(vs. 10)
And one of the elders answered, saying to me (John), “These who are clothed in white robes, who are they, and from where have they come?”
(vs. 11)
And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
(vs. 12)
“For this reason, they are before the throne of God; and they serve Him day and night in his temple; and He who sits on the throne shall spread His tabernacle over them.
(vs. 13)
16 “They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore, neither shall the sun beat down on them, nor any heat
(vs. 14)
for the Lamb in the center of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them to springs of the water of life; and God shall wipe every tear from their eyes.”
(vs. 15)
The Great Tribulation
Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress (trouble; tribulation) such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book will be rescued. (Dan. 12:1)
Another rapture has taken place.
