Search The Scriptures —Study 11 — Revelation 7


Study 11 From the Book of Revelation is: Revelation 7
Before the revelation of further judgments, tow visions are interposed for the comfort of believers. In all that has been shown so far, nothing has been said of the church, except with regard to those who have been martyred. This passage shows the church first in this life, on earth, and so always limited in numbers (verses 1-8), and then, numberless in heaven, having life for evermore.
      1-     What assurance is given in verses 1-8 concerning God’s watchful care over His people? Cf. Ezk. 9:3-6; Jn. 6:27; 10:27-29; Rev. 9:4.
2-     In verses 9-17, who compose the great multitude, and where are they standing? How came they to be there, and what is now their occupation? Make a list of the blessings that they enjoy, translating
Notes
1-     Verse 1.  It is a task given to angels to control forces of nature. Cf. 14:18; 16:5; Heb. 1:7.
2-     Verses 4-8. Some have thought that those who are ‘sealed’ represent believers from among the Jews, but in the light of 14:1-4 it is better to regard the vision as including the whole ‘Israel of God’ (Gal. 6:16).
3-     Verse 14. ‘The great tribulation’: cf. 3:10. Here both vision show that all who are the Lord’s will be brought safely through this earthly trial
