Understanding the Last Days · Session 9 of 14

The sealed servants and the proclamations

Step 1

Read

Revelation 7:1–8; 14:1–12

Use your preferred translation.

What do these passages say about belonging to God and calling the world to worship Him?

Step 2

Observe

  • What does the passage say? Restate it in your own words before interpreting it.
  • Who is speaking, and to whom?
  • What is the surrounding context — what comes just before and after?
  • Which words or phrases repeat or stand out?

Step 3

Discuss

  1. What is the purpose of the seal in Revelation 7, according to the text?
  2. Look at the three angels’ messages in Revelation 14:6–11. What does each one call people to do?
  3. Why might the “eternal gospel” in 14:6 be framed as a call to fear God and give Him glory?

Step 4

Apply

What would it mean for your daily life to be visibly marked as belonging to God?

Step 5

Practice

Begin and end each day this week with a brief act of worship — a psalm, a hymn, or a spoken thanks.

Step 6

Pray

Thank God that those who belong to Him are known and kept by Him, and ask for boldness to call others to worship.
