An angel comes from the east with the seal of the living God. He calls out to the four angels not to harm the earth, sea, or trees until he seals the servants of God on their foreheads.
The seal is protection. It marks God's property. It's a distinction in the spiritual realm, visible to those with eyes to see. The sealed can't be destroyed by the judgment that's coming. They're protected.
The seal also recalls the Passover. When the angel of death came, he passed over houses marked with blood. Here, believers are marked with God's seal. They're under protection that transcends physical circumstances.
