Revelation 7:15-17 lists the trials that these Gentiles endured on earth. They had been hungry and thirsty, for they were likely victims of the scarcity of food and pure water. They had no refuge from the heat of the day. They suffered tears and testings. It is likely that these Gentiles belong to the “sheep” of Matthew 25:31-46, the Gentiles who loved the Jews and befriended them during the Tribulation.

Their “palms” suggest the Feast of Tabernacles in the Old Testament (Leviticus 23:40-43), the event at which Israel rejoiced at the blessings of the Lord. They are dressed in white robes, which indicates their righteousness through the Lamb. Revelation 7:14 says that these Gentiles were saved by faith in Christ, for this is the only way anyone can be saved.

The Saved Gentiles (Revelation 7:9-17). The Jews were numbered, but this multitude could not be numbered. These Gentiles are the fruit of the labors of the 144,000, and they come from every nation under heaven. They are not a part of the church, since we see them before the throne, and not on thrones, as are the elders. Revelation 7:14 makes it clear that they come (not “came”) out of the Great Tribulation. Here John sees them standing before the heavenly throne, praising God and the Lamb.

The tribe of Dan is missing from this list of the sealed Jews, and the tribe of Manasseh takes its place. The reasons seem to be: (1) Dan led Israel into idolatry, Judges 18:30; 1Kings 12:28-30; (2) therefore God promised to blot out the name of the idolater, Deuteronomy 29:18-21.

These sealed servants are all Jews: there are 12,000 each from twelve tribes of Israel. It is unfortunate that some well-meaning Christians have taught that the 144,000 are symbolic of the church (the new Israel), because the church is no longer on earth at this point in history. The 144,000 are true Jews who will be alive on earth at this time. They will probably be won to Christ through the ministries of Moses and Elijah, the two witnesses who will preach during the first three and one-half years of the Tribulation (Revelation 11:1-12).

For a parallel scene, see Ezekiel 9:1-11. Remember too that Christ taught that the angels of God would have a part in gathering His elect (Matthew 24:31). Along with the angels of the winds, we have also the angels of fire (Revelation 14:18) and of water (Revelation 16:5). These angels are God’s special ministers who supervise the activities of nature.

Today, the Christian is sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14). This sealing happens the instant the sinner trusts Christ, and it assures the believer of eternal life and an inheritance in heaven. The sealing angel commands the angels of the winds to hold back their judgment until His servants have been sealed and thus protected from the judgment to come.

The Sealed Jews (Revelation 7:1-8). The winds of heaven speak of God’s judgment, and the judgments here are specifically on the earth, sea, and green vegetation. It may be that these four angels holding the four winds are also the angels who blow the first four trumpets, for the judgments are similar (Revelation 8:6-12). The angel from the east holds the seal of God. A seal signifies possession and protection; note Revelation 9:4. Today, the Christian is sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14).

Revelation 7:1-17. There is a pause between the opening of the sixth and seventh seals; judgment halts for a brief time while God seals 144,000 Jews who will carry His message to the ends of the earth. We are not specifically told that these Jews will be God’s ambassadors, but we assume that this is why He seals them. We have seen that the day of God’s wrath is about to come (Revelation 6:15-17); so God brings a lull in the storm and extends His mercy to Jew and Gentile alike.

The peoples of the earth will know then that Christ is sending judgment, but they will not receive Him! They would rather hide in the rocks than in the Rock. The first three and one-half years of the Tribulation are mere preparation for the last three and one-half years, and this latter period is known as “the wrath of God” (Revelation 11:18; 12:12; 14:10; 18:3; ). There is a pause, however, between the sixth and seventh seals (as there is also between the sixth and seventh trumpets) for us to see the two great groups of redeemed who will be saved during the Tribulation period.
