The Stoppage, the Sealed, the Sheep, and the Seventh Seal

The Stoppage, the Sealed, the Sheep, and the Seventh Seal

Revelation 7:1-8:5

We've been studying the book of Revelation and have now come to the end of the seal judgments. But before the seventh seal is opened, there is a hiatus in action. This pause is one of three intervals that take place between the opening of the fifth seal and the first of the bowl judgements. In this interval, there is an angelic scene on Earth. God seals 144,000 Jews who have finally become what He had envisioned for the nation to be all along: evangelists to the world. Then a new group is introduced in heaven. And the seventh seal is broken. Let's read about these things today.
