11-13-2025 PART 1: God Is In Charge Hearing, Seeing, and Being Sealed

Section 1

The heart of this teaching is that Revelation is meant to draw us closer to the Lord, not to force everyone into one identical theological viewpoint. The speaker openly admits that his own understanding has changed over decades and encourages listeners to keep any theology that helps them love God more deeply while remaining open to fresh insights that strengthen their walk. In Revelation 7:1, John sees four angels at the “four corners of the earth” holding back the four winds. This is not a geometry lesson; it is a vivid image describing God’s involvement over the entire earth—north, south, east, and west. Scripture uses this kind of language elsewhere, such as God removing our sins “as far as the east is from the west,” showing that the Bible is not a science textbook but a revelation that uses pictures and expressions to communicate spiritual truth.

Section 2

The passage also highlights how deeply angels are involved in God’s purposes, both now and in the unfolding of end-time events. They serve as ministers to the heirs of salvation and act only under God’s command. This does not give believers permission to order angels around or to pray to them, nor does it endorse modern “money angel” teachings or praying to saints. All approaches are to God the Father, in the Name of Jesus, by the help of the Holy Spirit. Angels carry out God’s bidding; they do not exist for human manipulation. If our eyes were opened to see all the angels and demons at work, it would likely overwhelm us, which underscores how active the spiritual realm really is and how completely God rules over it.

Section 3

Before judgment is released, the servants of God are sealed on their foreheads, echoing the protection seen at Passover and with Lot in Genesis 19. The angels are told not to harm the earth or the sea until this sealing is complete. John hears the number 144,000 from the tribes of Israel, yet in verse 9 he sees a great multitude that no one can count. Just as he previously heard about the Lion and then saw the Lamb, hearing and seeing are not always identical in Revelation. The central, unshakable theme remains: God is in charge. Regardless of what scientists, atheists, false religions, media, or politicians claim, Revelation loudly proclaims that God rules over everything, without exception.
