The book of Revelation chronicles end time events, describing the end of the world as we know it. Many of the chapters in Revelation describe the judgments of God, but Revelation 7 contains a “break in the action” that John sees and records. The two stories in this chapter help us get our focus on God and see life from a heavenly perspective. God sovereignly delivers His people; therefore, you must view your earthly circumstances with an eternal perspective.
