Rev 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding thefour winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.Rev 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God : and he criedwith a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed Strong # 4972 -sphragizo - the servants of our God in their foreheads.Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and fortyand four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.Rev 7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand.

Amen.Rev 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in whiterobes? and whence came they?Rev 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.Rev 7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and hethat sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.Rev 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor anyheat.Rev 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto livingfountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth,neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the sealof God in their foreheads

According to the pre trib view Rev 7 represents the Tribulation saints, the Church israptured in Rev 4 prior to the opening of the 1st seal.

Which results in the Church and the Holy Spirit gone/absent from the earth at theonset of the tribulation.

Notice the number of Christian workers currently serving in ministry throughout theworld, who witness, and are preaching and testifying to the salvation available in Christ.

Notice the growth from 3 million in 1500 AD to 648 million in 2009, utilizing severalmillion preachers of the gospel.

That said the "tribulation saints", a term not found in scripture, are so numerous that noman could number, will be evangelized and saved through the efforts and witnessing of 144,000 jewish men , who do not have the gospel of Jesus, nor do they know him asSavior *- the Church raptured, and the Holy Spirit lifted off the earth- all happening inthe following "climate" and attitude prevalent on the earth: (*They will recognize himas Messiah later but not at his point - Rev 7)

Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shallbe hated of all nations for my name's sake.Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended , and shall betray one another, and shallhate one another.Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.Mat 24:12 And because iniquity (lawlessness, wickedness) shall abound , the love of many shall wax cold .Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repentednot of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold,and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:Rev 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Rev 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God,which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

Rev 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores,and repented not of their deeds.

What could not be accomplished in 509 years with millions of christian workers will bydone* by unsaved Jewish men in 7 years when men's hearts are not soft, but are rather hostile towards God and hatred towards men, when the love of many will grow cold.

*Accomplished - the salvation of "tribulation saints" during the trib which no man cannumber.

Notice the Greek word for seal does NOT mean, indicate or even imply witness or witnesses. Nor does it mean preacher.

The truth of the matter is that the group mentioned in Rev 7 is the rapture of the Church

- who have come out of the great tribulation .These represent the believers living on the earth at the time of Christ's return or Day of the Lord.

The Jewish remnant will be sealed and protected against God's wrath - the Church willbe removed off the scene to meet the Lord in the air and so we shall always be with theLord. - prior to His wrath - but not the wrath of Satan and the Great Tribulation; thosedays being cut short.

If the 144,000 were witnesses and preachers - evangelists and missionaries would not adifferent Greek word have been used, kerusso?

See to it that no man deceives* you!!!That Greek word is:

kerusso < 2784 > Mar 13:10 First the gospel must be preached to allnations.
