Dear Doves,
 
During the Church Age the Church is indwelt by the Holy Spirit and is God's representative on earth. Its' mission is to evangelize the Gentiles.
 
Matthew 24:14
"And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."
 
At the time of the end, as the Church is raptured to heaven, the 144,000 are sealed by the angel . They become indwelt by the Holy Spirit as they are sealed, and then become God's representatives on earth after the rapture of the Church.
 
Revelation 7:3
"Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees UNTIL we put a seal on the foreheads of THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD."
 
Notice the word "until". They will be the servants of God during the time of God's wrath upon the earth.
 
These are the events of the Sixth Seal.
 
Come Lord Jesus!
