Sermon 210124 Providence Baptist Church

Israel Sealed

Revelation 7 (January 24, 2021)

The seventh chapter of Revelation answers the question as to whether anyone will be saved during the Tribulation.

The sealing of the 144,000 for protection is akin to God’s protection of Noah and his family, Israel from Pharaoh and Rahab in Jericho.

There is no compelling reason to believe that the church is included in those who are saved during the Great Tribulation. At no other place in Scripture are the tribes mentioned when referencing the church.

There are many Israelites scattered among the nations. They may not be among those sealed from the tribes and will be martyred for not worshiping the Antichrist.

There will be many who are martyred during the Great Tribulation. The implication is that they may have suffered hunger, thirst and/or scorching heat as part of their persecution on earth.
