The great day of their wrath is here. Chapter 6 closes with Judgment Day, but the seventh seal is not yet opened! God sends punishment on the world in our day [or at least allows it to come] because the wicked persecute his people. But God will not execute his complete vengeance, nor close the door of grace, until his Plan is fulfilled and Jesus returns to begin his work of Judgment (see Acts 17:31).

Judgment halted for the sealing of God's people. 144,000 is symbolic of God's people in both the Old and New Testaments.
