Tree in Revelation 7:1

By James White

2439.—J. W.—Tree in Rev. 7: 1.—It evidently stands for all vegetation in the natural world. That is, God is not permitting the devastation of war to sweep over the earth, destroying the very necessities of human life until His work is done. The four winds are symbols of universal war and strife. The angels are holding them back, and are preserving life until the work of God closes. See Deut. 20:19.
