roywilson Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 The seal protects the individual from the wrath of God. God has at different times poured his wrath upon the earth. The Flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah are the two most prominent. In both cases, there were individuals who escaped this wrath. Those who have this seal will undoubtedly escape His wrath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Before the judgments are unleashed, God prepares to seal 144,000 of His servants on their foreheads. Seals are signs of ownership or authority. God doesn't hang His people out to dry. He loves, protects and rewards them accordingly. The mark will protect the 144,000 from judgment and the wrath of God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plethra Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Q3. (Revelation 7:1-4) There's disagreement about exactly who the 144,000 represent. Let's not debate that, but look deeper. From 7:1-4 what do we learn about God? Read Ezekiel 9, then answer: What is this seal supposed to do for the 144,000? (Please wait to consider 14:1-5 until we get there, okay?) We learn that God is all powerful and is willing to do what ever it takes to protect His people. He will move heaven and earth if thats what it takes because He loves us that much The seal sets them apart and protects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJeff Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 God ever loves and cares for His own. Ezekiel 9 demonstrates that God will mark or seal those who are His true servants, to save us from His final and great wrath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bro Steven Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 First and foremost i see that God is in control of the hole earth and he takes care of his own people. this seal that God has put on the 12000 of each of the tribes of Isreal protects them from the judgement of God.

Linda Spilman Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Q.3 Those in Ezekiel 9 ( I don't see the #144,000 mentioned in this chapter) are the ones who sigh and cry for all the abominations done. They are given a seal to spare their life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewell Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 We learn that God is all-powerful, that he controls the wind and the rising of the sun. The seal on the forehead is supposed to give spiritual protection to the servants of God, but will not protect them from persection nor the effects of the destruction.

mags Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 God is sovereign and all-powerful. He keeps His promises and will protect His children. God will take care of His children (believers) and bring them home with Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jllen Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I, too, believe that the 144,000 are Jews, according to Rev. 7 heading, KJV. Those in the white robes are Gentiles, Rev. 7:9-17 KJV. My understanding is that the 144,000 Jews have the 'seal of protection by the Holy Spirit' during the first 3 1/2 years of the trib. and are on earth ministering to the lost. Souls will be won through their testimony during this time. Are these the same martyrs in white robes when the Fifth Seal was opened (Rev. 6:9-11)?

randall greene Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 The 144 thousand will be speaking for and doing Gods will throughout the great tribulations. The seal will protect them from the raft of God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 144,000 represent the church and the seal is the mark God placed on the saved for the time of destruction. You will either have the seal or the mark of the beast.

housejam88 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I believe that the 144,000 will be teachers left upon the earth after the tribulation to teach those who were left behind. They will be Jews that will teach the jewish people that did not believe in Christ about Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOO Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 One view = 144,000 represents perfection - the perfect number of redeemed (12x12x1000) God has the ultimate authority over ALL creation. God puts a seal on the foreheads of all that love and honour him and we (I count myself among those) will be protected and saved from God's wrath. I am reminded of the words at my baptism when I was "sealed with the sign of the cross and marked as Christ's own forever." Halleluia! How much greater will be the seal that God himself puts on me! The words from Ezekiel, "They think that the Lord has abandoned the land and that he doesn't see." God does not abandon us - ever. With all the evil in the world today we need to be reminded of this fact. God has not forgotten his people. Blessings, Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha1 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 We learn that God will not destroy the world and all its people without saving the righteous. The seal is meant to mark those who abhor the evil practices, and who are faithful to God and his commandments, and who repent of their failure to do so, and are still saved by God's grace because of Jesus' sacrifice on behalf of us all.

Revelations 7:1-4 says these [144,000] are the good God fearing citizens of Jerusalem. They will not be touched, as is written in Ezekiel 9. Ezekiel 9 also tells/warns us to grieve and lament what is going on in the world around us. The song "Hear us from Heaven" is a pray that might work, ".. Lord heal our land... open the blind eyes, unlock the deaf ears,... we are crying out in desperation..." Focus on the good and do what we can to glorify Him.

Answer: 1.What do we learn about God in Rev 7:1-4? The Context of verse 1-4 is an answer to question in Rev 6:17-For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand. God is true to His promise,that he will save those who believe in Him(John 3:16- For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.). We see,that the four Angels standing in the four corner of the earth-As the protector of the believers who hold on to the end.Standing in the four Corners of the earth means they cover the earth strategically: Isaiah 11:12-And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth The four Angels are holding the four winds of the earth..(Rev 7:1- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Great Multitude" are already in Heaven at the time of the Lord's 2nd coming of the Lord's 2nd coming at the end of time. This multitude comes from "all nations." The seal is the way of identification, not between God and them, but between eachother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
