Rev. 7:3 KJV - SAYING, HURT NOT THE EARTH, NEITHER THE SEA, NOR THE TREES, TILL WE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD IN THEIR FOREHEADS. - “to seal” in ancient times meant to make an imprint in wax, and often done with a signet ring. sealing could signify a number of ideas: 1. it showed a completed transaction has occurred - for the 144,000 it was their personal redemption. 2. it marked identification and ownership - by sealing them they become God’s people and servants. 3. a mark of protection - both physical and spiritual protection. this is verified in Rev. 14:1 where all of them are seen standing and have survived.
