Revelation 7

Under construction:

Summary:

Revelation 7 shows us a picture of the dissidents of the system that encroaches on the freedom of humanity. They refuse to comply to an utterly corrupt world system, that is being put in place by brutal force: war, famine and even death, as seen in the horsemen 2-4 of Revelation 6. The dissidents have no hope left for this world and choose to set all their cards on the soon return of Jesus Christ. The enormous earthquake at the end of chapter 6 has demolished much of the infrastructure, which gives the dissidents an opportunity to escape the system. Heaven itself waits with the next series of disasters, coming with the blowing of the first 4 trumpets, not to disrupt the opportunity to flee. Four angels holding the four winds apparently are those that also blow the first 4 trumpets, which bring havoc upon the world.
