Chapter 7
Verses 1- 17 Read the Bible verses.
Then John saw 4 angels standing at the “four corners of the earth” meaning North, South, East and West. They held back the wind. No wind moved on the earth or sea. The air was still.
Another angel went up from the sun and said to the 4 angels. “Don’t hurt the earth until we have sealed the people God has chosen. A mark is to be on their forehead.”
There were 144,000 who were to have the mark on their foreheads. There were 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel.
John then saw a large crowd–so many that they could not be counted.
They were from every nation–they stood before the throne and the Lamb (Jesus). They had on white robes and in their hands they had palm branches.
They worshipped the Lamb.
These people in white robes came out of the great tribulation. Their sins were washed in the blood of the Lamb.
They worshipped God and thanked him. They shall never be hungry or thirsty again. God shall take care of them. God shall wipe away all their tears.
