The four angels who have power to harm the land and the sea are holding back the winds. In the [[Bible]], wind represents war.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Jeremiah+4%3A11-19&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Jeremiah 4:11–19 |quote= }}</ref> The winds from the four corners of the earth, which are held by the four angels, are a world war that takes place throughout the world. After stopping the winds from the four corners of the earth, God puts a seal on the foreheads of the saints. When God’s work of putting the seal is over, the winds that the four angels have been holding back will be released and a great war will break out in the world. God puts a seal on His people to save them before the disaster comes.
The four angels have power to harm the land and the sea with the four winds, but are holding them back.

Before they are released, God must put a seal on the foreheads of the saints to save them from this disaster.

===When===
In history, there have been two world wars. The war that the angels stopped by holding it back in Revelation 7 is World War II (1939–1945). We can find the proof for this in Revelation 6.
The four winds of the earth refer to the winds blowing from all directions, that is, world war. In history, there have been two world wars. To understand which war the four angels are holding back, we must know what happened before Revelation 7. We can find the answer in Revelation 6.

From the island of Patmos where Apostle John received the revelation, the east in Revelation 7 refers to Republic of Korea (South Korea, hereinafter referred to as “Korea”) which is located at the ends of the earth in the east, attached to the continent. The reason Korea is the country in the east prophesied in the Bible among many Eastern countries is because the “seal of God” appeared from Korea.<br>
Apostle John received this revelation from the Island of Patmos. Then the east in Revelation 7 refers to a country east of the Island of Patmos. The latitude from Patmos traveling to the ends of the earth ends in the Republic of Korea (South Korea, hereinafter referred to as “Korea”). Korea is the country in the east according to the prophecy of Revelation 7 because the “seal of God” appeared from there.<br>
