What does the Bible say about God's judgment being held back?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's judgment is currently restrained until the last of the elect is saved, as depicted in Revelation 7:1-4.

In Revelation 7:1-4, we see a powerful image of four angels holding back the winds of judgment on the earth. This symbolic language illustrates God's long-suffering and patience, allowing time for the last of His elect to be gathered. Until that last sheep is saved, judgment is held back, which signifies the mercy of God in waiting for repentance. Scripture shows that the Lord is not slack concerning His promise but is long-suffering, desiring that none should perish (2 Peter 3:9). The holding back of judgment highlights God's grace and the urgency of the Gospel as He works through His people to bring in the full number of the elect.
