2and I saw another messenger going up from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God, and he did cry with a great voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to injure the land and the sea, saying,
3`Do not injure the land, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we may seal the servants of our God upon their foreheads.`
