The Calm Before the 7th Seal

There is a lull between the first six seals and the seventh. Here John is shown the 144,000 Jewish saints - 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. He also sees a great multitude of people from every nation. These are the believers who died during the great tribulation. The 7th Seal is still to be opened, but it will not be opened until the saints have been marked with the seal of God. If you are a believer already today, you have been sealed to God. If you are not yet a believer, don't wait. Christ is the only way to come to God, to be assured of your place in heaven singing His praises and living an eternal life with Him.
