Revelation 7:1-17: Apocalypse—The Sealed and the Saved

Thy Strong Word from KFUO Radio

Earth and Heaven—Before the seventh seal is opened, 144,000 servants of God are sealed from the tribes of Israel. A great multitude from every nation stands before the throne, clothed in white robes, worshiping God and the Lamb. How does this vision of divine protection and universal salvation encourage us in our faith and mission?

The Rev. David Boisclair, pastor of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO, joins guest-host Rev. John Lukomski to study Revelation 7:1-17.

Shrouded in mysterious visions of cosmic battles, plagues, and catastrophic events, the Apocalypse of St. John, or as it’s more commonly known--the Book of Revelation, paints a haunting picture of the end times. Cryptic symbols of beasts, the rise of the Antichrist, and the final judgment unfold with unsettling intensity, revealing the ultimate clash between good and evil. Yet, beneath its terrifying imagery, Revelation is also a deeply personal letter, offering comfort to early Christians facing persecution. It reassures them—and believers today—of God's control over history, His promise of redemption, and the certainty of Christ's victory.
