In the previous chapter we will find the beginning of the time of Daniels last seven year period called seventy weeks of Daniel 9:24-27. We are introduced to God's wrath in chapter 6. Now in chapter 7 we find that there is a certain amount of God's grace in the sealing of the 144,000 Israelites. They will become the preachers of what is called the gospel of the final kingdom in which Christ will reign for 1000 years. We will find that their preaching will result in saving a great multitude which no one can number. There are probably mostly Gentile people in this world.
You may ask what I see in all this. One thing God is always in the business of saving people even in this terrible setting of these last seven years. The second thing is that as many as we can get to accept Christ now will not have to endure those final seven years of God's judgement of this world. No matter where we live God's word is true and if the Bible says it will happen we can know that it will come true. So, we work now hoping we may divert precious souls from that terrible time.
