Angel in the east

April 21 – Angel in the east – Rev 7:2

Vs 2 – Then John sees an angel coming from the east which is the sign of the rising of the sun and meaning a new time period and new thing.  He has the seal of the living God.  A seal is a sign of authority, power and protection.  This seal has a specific reason.  He then calls out to the angels who are hold back the winds from the four directions.  These angels also have the power to harm the land and the sea.  Wind can cause great damage.  Hurricanes can produce winds speeds of up to 200 mph and Tornados have been clocked at 300 mph and can reach up to two miles wide.  They cause extensive damage to all that come into their path.  Tornados and Hurricanes number around 1200 per year and kill hundreds and cause about 30 billion dollars per year.  There is no doubt that during the tribulation period that there will be great destruction but the reason for this calm is revealed next.  As you begin this day remember God can protect you from any thing as you put your trust in Him
