“Do not damage the land
or the sea or the trees
until we put the seal on the foreheads
of the servants of our God.”
(Revelation 7:3)
The seal on the foreheads of God's servants symbolizes divine protection. It reassures us that God watches over and protects those who are faithful to Him. It represents a spiritual marking that sets God's people apart. It emphasizes the importance of living a life that reflects our identity as God's servants.
The act of sealing signifies God's authority and ownership. It reminds us that we belong to God and are under His care and guidance. The instruction to wait before harming the land, sea, or trees teaches us about God's perfect timing. It encourages us to trust in His plan and be patient, knowing that He is in control.
These lessons encourage us to trust in God's protection, recognize His authority, be patient with His timing, and live in a way that honors our identity as His servants.
In the quiet of the morning light,
God's seal upon us, shining bright.
Marked by His love, we stand secure,
In His embrace, forever pure.
Through trials and storms, we hold fast,
His seal upon us, it will last.
A sign of grace, a pledge divine,
In every heart, His love will shine.
Sealed by God, we walk in peace,
His presence with us, never to cease.
In every step, His guidance clear,
With faith and hope, we persevere.
So let us live with hearts aglow,
Sealed by God, His love we show.
In every moment, great or small,
His seal upon us, binds us all.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with grateful hearts, acknowledging Your divine protection and love. Thank You for sealing us with Your Holy Spirit, marking us as Your own. We are humbled by Your grace and the assurance of Your presence in our lives.
Lord, help us to live in a way that honors this sacred seal. May we walk in Your truth, guided by Your wisdom and strengthened by Your love. Let our lives reflect Your light, bringing hope and peace to those around us.
In times of trial and uncertainty, remind us of Your promise and the security we have in You. May we find comfort in knowing that we are forever held in Your loving embrace.
We pray for the courage to be Your witnesses, sharing Your gospel and love with the world. Use us, Lord, to fulfill Your purpose and to bring glory to Your name.
In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.

Book of Revelations
THE 144,000 SEALED /
TRIUMPH OF THE ELECT
Revelation 7:1-8 / 9-17
First Reading | Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14
2 I, John, saw another angel come up from the East, holding the seal of the living God. He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who were given power to damage the land and the sea, 3 “Do not damage the land or the sea or the trees until we put the seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” 4 I heard the number of those who had been marked with the seal, one hundred and forty-four thousand marked from every tribe of the Israelites. 9 After this I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue. They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. 10 They cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne, and from the Lamb.” 11 All the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They prostrated themselves before the throne, worshipped God, 12 and exclaimed: “Amen. Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanksgiving, honor, power, and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” 13 Then one of the elders spoke up and said to me, “Who are these wearing white robes, and where did they come from?” 14 I said to him, “My lord, you are the one who knows.” He said to me, “These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
