Revelation 7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth,restraining the four winds of the earth so that no wind could blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. The sun rose this morning at 6:56 am. Not many people hear someone say that the sun rose and argue with them that the sun doesn't rise but rather stays in one place while we on earth rotate and see the light of the sun each morning. It is a figure of speech which even scientists use. In today's portion of Revelation we read of four angels holding the four winds form the four corners of the Earth. We know the earth does not have have corners, like the sunrise this too is figure of speech. It refers to whole Earth and the four directions the wind can blow- east, west, north and south. The winds are judgments that will fall on the entire Earth. It also mentions 4 angels. Angels are fascinating and powerful beings. They are in the Bible as early as chapter 3 and have much like us the ability to think, feel and choose. With all of their being they follow God's instructions. God rules from His throne and tells His angels what and when to do His will and they listen to Him. David speaks of this in the psalms saying, The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all. Praise the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His word. Praise the Lord, all His heavenly hosts, you His servants who do His will. Psalm 103:19-21 We may not be angels but we are called to obey God as His children and servants of His kingdom as well. Consider the salvation of our great and merciful God that was given by His grace. That same grace preserved 2/3 of all His angels. They exist to do His bidding, part of which is to protect all those who will inherit salvation. -: ]> Have a great day Loved Ones and God bless you real good!
