Who Can Stand?
Eric Marvin, Pastor
In Week 4 of our Revelation 2026 series, Pastor Eric Marvin walks through Revelation 7, an important interlude within the book of Revelation that answers a critical question introduced in chapter 6: Who can stand in the day of God's judgment?
As John pauses between the opening of the sixth and seventh seals, he is given a glimpse of two groups who will stand secure before God: the 144,000 sealed servants of God and a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language gathered before His throne.
Pastor Eric explores what Scripture reveals about God's sealing, His faithfulness to His promises, and the future hope believers have through Jesus Christ. While Revelation contains mystery and unanswered questions, God has revealed exactly what we need to know so that we can trust Him and live faithfully today.
This message reminds believers that regardless of present suffering, persecution, or tribulation, followers of Christ are sealed by the Holy Spirit and held securely by God. The world cannot remove what God has sealed, and one day every believer will stand fully restored in His presence.
Revelation ultimately points us toward hope. God's people can endure hardship because we know how the story ends: God wins, Christ restores all things, and His people will dwell with Him forever.
