Revelation 7:4
"saying, “Don’t harm the earth, the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!”"
Key Reflection
In Revelation 7:4, the angelic beings instruct not to harm the earth, sea, and trees until God's servants are marked with a seal on their foreheads. This imagery reflects the historical context of ancient seals used for identification and protection, suggesting that those marked would be safe from impending calamities, much like how sealing a document or item securely protected it from tampering or damage in the first-century world.
