And AFTER THESE things, I saw four Messengers standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.
7:2 And I saw another messenger ascending from the rising of the shemesh (Sun), having the Chotam (seal) of the Elohim (אלהים) Chayim: and He cried with a loud voice to the four malakhim (messengers), to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the yam (sea),
7:3 וַיֹּאמֶר אַל־תַּשְׁחִיתוּ אֶת־הָאָרֶץ וְאֶת־הַיָּם וְאֶת־הָעֵצִים עַד כִּי־חָתַמְנוּ אֶת־עַבְדֵי אֱלֹהֵינוּ עַל־מִצְחוֹתֵיהֶם׃
