bwe@Revelation:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel coming up from the place where the sun rises. He had something to put the mark of the living God on people. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels. They had been given power to hurt the earth and the sea.
bwe@Revelation:7:3 @ The angel said, Do not hurt the earth, the sea, or the trees until we have put a mark on the foreheads of Gods servants.
bwe@Revelation:7:4 @ And I heard that one hundred and forty-four thousand people were marked. They were from every tribe of Israel.
