主讲：丘均发传道


一、灾难暂停 印记优先（启7:1-3）

1.神怜悯按下暂停键（V1-3）
约翰看见四位天使站在地四角，握住地上的四风，神吩咐：“且等着，别伤害地、海、树木，等我们印了我们神众仆人的额。神在灾难前最关心的，不是惩罚恶人，而是确认并保护祂的儿女。

在生活一切的“风暴”来临之前，先让自己被神的印记标记清楚：每天亲近神、认罪、活在顺服里，让圣灵在你额上盖印，就是让基督的主权清晰显在你的生命里。

2. 十四万四受印精兵（V4-8）
约翰听见以色列各支派受印的数目，共十四万四千。这让我们看到神的主权和精确，祂认得每一个名字！

预备成为受印者，就是活出“被神认得”的生命：不随波逐流，不在患难来临时才临时抱佛脚，而是现在就忠心跟从祂。无论你是犹太人还是外邦人，神都要在你生命中盖下“属我”的救恩印记。

二、印记带来永恒胜利（启7:9-17）

1.无数白衣人敬拜神（V9-12）
约翰看见“无数的人，没有人能数过来”，从各族各国各方，穿着白衣，手拿棕枝，俯伏敬拜。大灾难不能拦阻神的救恩，反而要显出祂的荣耀。救赎印记不分种族，只看是否属于神。

预备成为受印者，就是要分享福音、活出见证，邀请更多人进到神国，让更多人领受白衣。

2. 经过大患难中出来（V13-14）
长老解释这群白衣人是“从大患难中出来的”，并说明他们洗净白袍、用羔羊的血使其洁白。这里揭示了他们得救是经历真实的迫害后得保守出来；洁白是来自羔羊的血—是恩典，不是自我努力的结果。

生命中的患难，无法玷污那救恩印记。但我们每天需要来到“羔羊的血”前，承认自己的污秽，凭信心领受洁净。这印记确保我们不被定罪，而宝血的洁净让我们能活出与印记相称的圣洁生活。

3. 羔羊牧养擦去眼泪（V15-17）
最终地上一切苦楚：饥饿、干渴、炎热、眼泪，都被神亲自抹去，羔羊成为牧者。救恩印记的终极果效，就是进入神永远的同在。

现在流泪时，抬头看将来的奖赏。活出救恩印记，就是在患难中仍事奉、信靠、仰望。因为天父温柔的双手，已经预备好为我们擦干每一滴泪。

总结：我们今天该如何预备？

预备不是焦虑地计算十四万四千还剩几个名额；预备是每天把白衣穿好，把额头的印记擦亮，在灾难四起的世代中，依然相信：羔羊正在牧养，眼泪终被擦去。

我们不是在等待灾难结束，而是在等待那位接我们的。


  

Revelation 7: The Seal of Salvation in the Great Tribulation
GK611 Morning Devotion
12.02.2026
Speaker: Ps Daniel Kew 


 I. A Pause in Judgment, the Seal Comes First (Rev. 7:1–3) 

1. God Presses the Pause Button in Mercy (V1–3)
John saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds. God commanded them, “Wait! Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” Before disaster falls, God’s primary concern is not to punish the wicked, but to identify and protect His children.

Before any “storm” of life arrives, make sure you are clearly marked with God’s seal: draw near to Him daily, confess your sins, live in obedience, and allow the Holy Spirit to seal your forehead—that is, let the lordship of Christ be clearly manifested in your life.

2. The 144,000 Sealed Soldiers (V4–8)
John heard the number of those who were sealed from the tribes of Israel—144,000 in total. This reveals God’s sovereignty and precision. He knows every single name!

To be prepared as one who is sealed is to live a life that is “known by God”: not flowing along with the crowd, not turning to Him only when trouble comes, but faithfully following Him now. Whether Jew or Gentile, God desires to place upon your life the seal of salvation that declares, “You belong to Me.”

II. The Seal Brings Eternal Victory (Rev. 7:9–17) 

1. A Great Multitude in White Worships God (V9–12)
John saw “a great multitude that no one could count,” from every nation, tribe, people, and language. They were wearing white robes, holding palm branches, and bowing in worship. The Great Tribulation cannot stop God’s salvation—it only magnifies His glory. The seal of redemption is not based on race, but on belonging to God.

To be prepared as one who is sealed means sharing the gospel, living out your testimony, and inviting more people into God’s kingdom so that more may receive white robes.

2. Coming Out of the Great Tribulation (V13–14)
An elder explained that this group in white robes had “come out of the great tribulation.” They had washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. This reveals that their salvation came through real persecution, yet they were preserved. Their purity comes from the blood of the Lamb—it is grace, not the result of self-effort.

The tribulations of life cannot stain the seal of salvation. Yet daily we must come before the “blood of the Lamb,” confessing our uncleanness and receiving cleansing by faith. The seal ensures we are not condemned, and the cleansing blood enables us to live a holy life worthy of that seal.

3. The Lamb Shepherds and Wipes Away Tears (V15–17)
In the end, all earthly suffering—hunger, thirst, scorching heat, and tears—will be personally wiped away by God. The Lamb becomes the Shepherd. The ultimate result of the seal of salvation is entering into God’s eternal presence.

When you weep now, lift your eyes to the coming reward. To live out the seal of salvation is to continue serving, trusting, and looking to Him even in tribulation. For the gentle hands of the Father are already prepared to wipe away every tear.

Conclusion: How Should We Prepare Today? 

Preparation is not anxiously calculating how many places remain among the 144,000. Preparation is putting on your white robe daily and polishing the seal on your forehead—believing, even in an age of rising disasters, that the Lamb is shepherding and that every tear will be wiped away.

We are not waiting for the end of disaster.We are waiting for the One who will receive us.
