Revelation 7 is a chapter that talks about divine protection given to a select group of people during the tribulation period that will occur on Earth. This group is composed of 144,000 Jews, 12,000 of each of the 12 tribes of Israel, who are sealed by God so that they do not suffer damage during this time. Moreover, a large multitude of all nations, peoples, tribes, and tongues is seen before the throne of God, praising and worshiping it.
Romans 8:38-39: "For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, principalists, nor future things, nor potestes, height, nor depth, nor any other creature It can separate us from the love of God, who is in Christ Jesus our Lord. " This verse points out that nothing can separate believers from God's love, including the difficulties and persecution they face during the tribulation.
Matthew 24:21-22: "For there will then be great affliction, as has never been from the beginning of the world so far, nor will there be. And if those days were not abbreviated, no one would be saved; but because of the chosen ones, those days will be abbreviated will be abbreviated will be abbreviated. . " This verse describes the period of tribulation and how it will be so intense that if it was not shortened by God, no one would survive.
1 Peter 1:7: "That the proof of your faith, much more precious than the gold that perishes and is proved by fire, be attributed to you in praise, honor, and glory in the revelation of Jesus Christ;" This verse talks about the importance of proof of faith during the tribulation period, which will be a test for believers and will show the strength and true nature of their faith.
John 10:16: "I still have other sheep that are not of this fold; it is also appropriate to add these, and they will hear my voice, and there will be a flock and a pastor." This verse talks about how people of all nations will be saved and will unite in a flock under the pasture of Jesus Christ, which is seen in Revelation 7 with the great multitude of all nations, peoples, tribes and languages before the throne of God.
