Revelation 7:1-9
Revelation 6 was an important chapter, and Revelation 6:12-17 dealt with the greatest prayer meeting of all time. It dealt with the result of the four horsemen who ride across the world bringing the counterfeit peace (the counterfeit Christ), war, pestilence, and Death and Hell. As a result of that, there is described in the latter part of Revelation 6 a great earthquake that God says is coming during the tribulation time.

And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

As we look at this passage of scripture, we find that this is a parenthesis in the chronological order of Revelation. You have the opening of six seals; and when you come to Revelation 7, you expect to read, "and the seventh seal is opened." But instead of that, you have a scene of the angels of God hol ...
