This sealing of the servants of God is the same that was shown to Ezekiel in vision. John also had been a witness of this most startling revelation. He saw the sea and the waves roaring, and men’s hearts failing them for fear. He beheld the earth moved, and the mountains carried into the midst of the sea (which is literally taking place), the water thereof roaring and troubled, and the mountains shaking with the swelling thereof. He was shown plagues, pestilence, famine, and death performing their terrible mission. {TM 445.2}

Denne besegling af Guds tjenere er den samme som var blevet vist Ezekiel i syner. Johannes havde også været vidne til den mest opskræmmene åbenbaring. Han så havet og bølgernes brølen, og menneskers hjerter svigte (446) i frygt. Han så jorden bevæge sig, og bjergene førte sig ud i midten af havet (som bogstaveligt fandt sted), vandet brølede og forstyrres deraf, og bjergene røstes ved svulmen deraf. Han fik vist plager, pest, sult og død der udfører sin ødelæggende opgave.
