Scripture

Revelation 7:1–3

1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

From the Artist

This image represents the pending storm of judgment, and for a moment there is this calm.

These angels—seen in the image as four sets of hands—are standing on the four corners of the earth, holding back the winds of destruction. The set of hands towards the bottom of the image are largest due to the fact I have set our vantage point in the West viewing this scene.

John sees an angel ascending from the East. Like the mighty angels in Revelation 5:2 and Revelation 10:1, this angel calls forth in a mighty voice. The command of God to the four angels is “WAIT!”
