“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,”
I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to damage earth and sea — the fifth angel (likely Christ or a principal agent) bears God's seal (sphragis) and summons the four to hold back damage until the sealing is complete. The seal of the living God (theou zōntos) emphasizes God's authority to mark and protect.
