Angels Holding the Four Winds, October 31
Angel Guidance in My Life
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, ...
saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we
have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Revelation 7:2, 3
Four mighty angels are still holding the four winds of the earth.
Terrible destruction is forbidden to come in full. The accidents by land
and by sea; the loss of life, steadily increasing, by storm, by tempest, by
railroad disaster, by conflagration; the terrible floods, the earthquakes,
and the winds will be the stirring up of the nations to one deadly combat,
while the angels hold the four winds, forbidding the terrible power of
Satan to be exercised in its fury until the servants of God are sealed in
their foreheads.
Angels are holding the four winds, which are represented as an angry
horse seeking to break loose and rush over the face of the whole earth,
bearing destruction and death in its path.
A terrible conflict is before us. We are nearing the battle of the great
day of God Almighty. That which has been held in control is to be
let loose. The angel of mercy is folding her wings, preparing to step
down from the throne and leave the world to the control of Satan. The
principalities and powers of earth are in bitter revolt against the God of
heaven. They are filled with hatred against those who serve Him, and
soon, very soon, will be fought the last great battle between good and
evil. The earth is to be the battlefield—the scene of the final contest and
the final victory.
While their hands were loosening, and the four winds were about to
blow, the merciful eye of Jesus gazed on the remnant that were not sealed,
and He raised His hands to the Father and pleaded with Him that He had
spilled His blood for them. Then another angel was commissioned to fly
swiftly to the four angels and bid them hold until the servants of God
were sealed with the seal of the living God in their foreheads.
