This podcast explains the symbolism of the four angels in Revelation 7:1 as destroying angels who have the power to hold at bay the four winds of destruction until the 144,000 servants of God are sealed in their forehead as described in Revelation 7:4-8. These are also restoration angels with the power to save those that accept and live the gospel and the corresponding power to destroy those that do not accept the gospel to their own condemnation. These destroying angels are at work in the world today, but they will not allow the fury of the four winds to blow destructively over the earth until the work of sealing has been accomplished during this, the sixth seal.
