144,000 Sealed

7 And[fn] after this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back [its] four winds so that no wind would blow on land [or] sea [or] on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from [the] east with [the] seal of [the] living God. And he called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given [power] to harm the land and the sea: 3 “[Do] not harm the land [or] sea [or] trees until we have placed a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
