Revelation 7:2-3

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, saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

• ·        Another angel was employed to mark out and distinguish the faithful servants of God (MH)

• ·        How they were distinguished:  the seal of God was set upon their foreheads.  By this mark they were set apart for mercy and safety in the worst of times (MH)

Psalm 72:8  He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

Ezekiel 9:4  ..and the LORD said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.
