Answer:
The two quotes from the apocalypse, shown in the question above, complement each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Revelation 7: 1-8 we can see that 144 thousand people, will be chosen by God, will have a seal on their foreheads and will be freed from the evil that will devastate the earth. This evil will only come after God establishes his chosen ones, because it will be terrible and promote a lot of sorption. All the evil to which the elect will escape is described in Revelation 6: 12-17. This section shows all the horror that will fall on those who are out of 144 thousand.
