144,000 Angelic Sealing!
Revelation Ch 7:1-8 Text
6th Seal – 144,000 Sealed
Revelation Ch 7:1-8
7 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
5 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed,
12,000 from the tribe of Reuben,
12,000 from the tribe of Gad,
6 12,000 from the tribe of Asher, 12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,
7 12,000 from the tribe of Simeon,
12,000 from the tribe of Levi, 12,000 from the tribe of Issachar,
8 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun,
12,000 from the tribe of Joseph,
12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.
When is the Angelic Sealing of the 144,000 Finished?
When is the Angelic Sealing of the 144,000 Finished?
In Revelation 7:1-3, the “4 Angels” “holding back the 4 winds” are told, “not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
If we can determine when the 4 Angels are released, then we know Angel’s sealing of the 144,000 is complete or finished!
So when are the 4 Angels released?
In the 6th Trumpet at Revelation 9:13-15!
6th Trumpet
➥ Revelation 9:13-15
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind.
So we know in the 6th Trumpet, the Angelic Sealing of the 144,000 is complete or finished!

The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, 3 and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, 5 and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless.

➠ Revelation 20:4-6
“Then I saw THRONES, and seated on them were those to whom the AUTHORITY TO JUDGE was committed.Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.

(Even though the above scriptures connect New Jerusalem to the Holy City & New Jerusalem to YHWH’S Temple, Most Churches “Subtract” New Jerusalem as the Holy City & YHWH’S Temple and replace it with physical location of Jerusalem in the State of Israel. Rev 22:18-19)
