Revelation 7:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 7:2

The Sealed of Israel

1 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, ^aholding the four winds of the earth, ^bthat 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, ^a“Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God ^bon their foreheads.”

4 ^aAnd I heard the number of those who were sealed. ^bOne hundred and forty-four thousand ^cof all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:

5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were¹ sealed;
of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;

6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;

7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;

8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.

A Multitude from the Great Tribulation

9 After these things I looked, and behold, ^aa great multitude which no one could number, ^bof all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, ^cclothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,

10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, ^a“Salvation belongs to our God ^bwho sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
