God's seal

[Gary K]

All kings and national rulers have always had a seal. Here is the US Presidential seal. What all is contained in the seal? The territory of the US. The symbol of the US, and the President's coat of arms symbolizing his authority to make laws inside the territory of the earth in which he has authority.

United States presidential seal

The official seal of the United States president is based on the Great Seal of the United States. A circle of 50 stars, representing the 50 states of the Union, surrounds the…

God, as the ruler of the universe also has His own seal. Where do we find it? In the 4th commandment.

Exodus 20: 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

So inside the 4th commandment we find the name of the ultimate authority. The Lord is His name. His dominion over which He has the ultimate authority? Heaven and earth.. So that makes God the ultimate authority over the universe which includes making laws.

If we flaunt the authority of the US and refuse to jeep the laws of the US are we good citizens, or rebels? I say we are rebels rebelling against the earthly authority of where we live.

How about when we live in God's universe? Are we rebels flaunting His authority and rebelling against Him when we refuse to keep His laws? I say yes.

Just as the US has the legal authority to punish those who break it's laws so God has the legal authority to punish those who beak His laws.

This ought to be a serious warning to those who think they can flaunt God's authority without consequences as He is the ultimate power and authority over the entire universe.

The Seal of God

The Seal of God contains:

• His name
• His title
• His territory

The Seal of God in the Sabbath commandment:

Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.​

• Name: The Lord thy God
• Title: Creator (made)
• Territory: Heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is

The Seal of God in the Lord of the Sabbath:

• Ownership: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God.
• The seventh day was blessed and sanctified. Why?:
  • The Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore[for what reason; as a result of] the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
    • It was because God created the heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day, that the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
• Jesus used the very language found in Exodus 20:11 when He said this:
  • Mark 2:27-28 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore [for that reason; consequently] the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
    
    • Exodus 20:11 The Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day.
    • Mark 2:27: The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
    • Exodus 20:11 Wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, hallowed it.
    • Mark 2:28: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
  • Name: Jesus
  • Title: Creator (Colossians 1:16-20) -> Lord of the Sabbath
  • Territory: (implied) Heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is

The Seal of God and the timely call to worship of God in the Three Angels' Messages:

Revelation 14:6-7 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.​

• A call to worship:
  • Fear God, and give glory to Him;
    • For the hour of His judgment is come:
      • and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
  • Name: God
  • Title: Creator (made)
  • Territory: Heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

The consequences of worship of the beast in the Three Angels' Messages:

In the above we saw the call worship of God, pointing directly to creation. Below we see worship of the beast pointing directly to destruction.​

Revelation 14:8-11 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.​

And then Jesus makes one of the most powerful statements of Revelation. He defines true worship.

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.​

• The first four commandments show us how to worship God.
• The fourth commandment is the Sabbath commandment.

​

Conclusion

• The Seal of God is found in the Sabbath commandment.
• The Seal of God is found in Jesus' statement concerning the Sabbath.
• The Seal of God is found in the last call to worship (for His judgment is come).
• All three of the above point right back to creation, to the seventh day, when God rested and sanctified it.
• All three point to worship of the creator.
• The Sabbath is a day of worship, set forth at creation by God.
• The patience of the saints of the end time (through tribulation, persecution) is defined as the keeping of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
• The patience of the saints is a statement that is made in stark contrast to the prior verses which contain the consequences of worshiping the beast and receiving his mark.
• The patience of the saints is pointing directly at worship of God, directly at creation by God, directly at the Sabbath sanctified by God, claimed by Jesus to be Lord of because of creation (because He was there instituting it), and the fact that it is the Seal of God.
• It is no coincidence that Sunday sacredness is almost universal in Christendom, in direct opposition to God's fourth commandment, and that God emphasized the Sabbath from creation, making it His Seal to address the worship issue of the end time.

Where is God's seal placed in His people?

Revelation 7: 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Revelation 9: 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

Why does God place His seal in our foreheads and not on our foreheads? Because the frontal lobe of the brain is where thought takes place and where the conscience is located.. So it is located in the part of the brain where we believe and where we find the attribute of honesty as it is strictly a matter of conscience.

How about the mark of the best? Where is it located?

Revelation 14: 8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

It is place in the forehead or in the hand. Why? It's placed in the forehead where the seat of logical thinking takes place, i. e. what we believe. And why in the hand? Because it is symbolic of what we do. We work with our hands.

We find another hit to this in Revelation 22.

Revelation 22: 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

I plead with those who are doing these things to stop and allow God to give you repentance and believe Him and His law.

Psalm 19: 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The word converting is translated from a Hebrew word meaning:

[*StrongsHebrew*]
7725
שׁוּב
shûb shoob
A primitive root; to turn back ({hence} away) transitively or {intransitively} literally or figuratively (not necessarily with the idea of return to the starting point); generally to retreat; often adverbially again: - ({[break} {build} {circumcise} {dig} do {anything} do {evil} {feed} lay {down} lie {down} {lodge} {make} {rejoice} {send} {take} weep]) X {again} (cause to) answer (+ {again}) X in any case ({wise}) X at {all} {averse} bring ({again} {back} home {again}) call [to {mind]} carry again ({back}) {cease} X {certainly} come again (back) X {consider} + {continually} {convert} deliver ({again}) + {deny} draw {back} fetch home {again} X {fro} get [oneself] (back) {again} X give ({again}) go again ({back} {home}) [go] {out} {hinder} {let} [see] {more} X {needs} be {past} X {pay} {pervert} pull in {again} put ({again} up {again}) {recall} {recompense} {recover} {refresh} {relieve} render ({again}) X {repent} {requite} {rescue} {restore} {retrieve} (cause {to} make to) {return} {reverse} {reward} + say {nay} send {back} set {again} slide {back} {still} X {surely} take back ({off}) (cause {to} make to) turn ({again} self {again} {away} {back} back {again} {backward} {from} {off}) withdraw.

God's law will turn us around but not to return to where we started. We will go in the other direction with our lives.

Rejoicing come from a Hebrew word translated from:

[*StrongsHebrew*]
8055
שׂמח
ώâmach saw-makh'
A primitive root; probably to brighten {up} that {is} (figuratively) be (causatively make) blithe or gleesome: - cheer {up} be (make) {glad} (have make) joy ({-ful}) be (make) {merry} (cause {to} make to) {rejoice} X very.

Wouldn't we much rather go on our way having our life brightened and made blithe and gleeful? I know I would. Sin just doesn't pay. I know that from long sad experience.

Circumcision a sign and a seal of righteousness by faith, in uncircumcision.....
430 years before the law of Moses.......................
Rom 4:10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

And? Are you trying to say only the circumcised will be in heaven? Odd observation coming from you.

 

[ralliann]

And? Are you trying to say only the circumcised will be in heaven? Odd observation coming from you.

Odd observation from scripture?

 

[Gary K]

Odd observation from scripture?

No, from you. I believe the scriptures you posted. The obvious conclusion is that circumcision is the seal of God. Therefore only physically circumcised people will be in heaven. As a woman.that automatically excludes you.

It just goes to show how faulty your understanding of scripture is as God never intended to exclude women from heaven.

 

[ralliann]

No, from you. I believe the scriptures you posted. The obvious conclusion is that circumcision is the seal of God. Therefore only circumcised people will be in heaven. That automatically excludes you as a woman.

A sign and a seal Of the covenant (of promise) to Abraham. I disagree with your conclusion of Scripture. That Scripture speaks of the new covenant voiding the carnal ordinances. They are shadows.

 

[Gary K]

A sign and a seal Of the covenant (of promise) to Abraham. I disagree with your conclusion of Scripture. That Scripture speaks of the new covenant voiding the carnal ordinances. They are shadows.

The covenant made with Abraham was physical circumcision. The Pharisees thought that the physical relationship to Abraham guaranteed their salvation.

John 8: 39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Paul said:


Romans 2: 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Can you begin to see your misunderstanding of scripture? We are Jews inwardly if we have allowed God to circumcise our hearts.

Colossians 2: 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

 

[ralliann]

The covenant made with Abraham was physical circumcision. The Pharisees thought that the physical relationship to Abraham guaranteed their salvation.

The law of faith vs law of works,,,,,Covenants plural. The natural seed vs spirtual seed. But I do not wish to go around and around. As You appear to be unable or unwilling to speak to this aspect of scripture in Paul's writing. The "times" of the Gentiles (uncircumcision) is in the New covenant dismissal of the fleshy and worldly commands. these were shadows and patterns of heavenly things...... We had nothing to hope for while the fleshy commands stood. Now we do......all do in the preaching of the Gospel in Christ Jesus. We could not hear until they were sent.
Good day to you.

I have been posting Paul's writings. It's you that has refused to go near them, not me. I have shown multiple times how Paul's writings agree with Jesus' statements about the Pharisees and you have ignored them too.

 

[SabbathBlessings]

Those fleshy ordinances were animal sacrifices, not what God wrote and God spoke that is a commandment of God (not a suggestion) that Jesus tells us to live by every Word. Mat 4:4. The Sabbath commandment is about holy time with God,Isa 58:13 Exo 20:8-11 fleshly ordinances was because of the transgression of God’s law Romans 7:7 1 John 3:4 breaking one we break all James 2:10-12. The ordinances in the law of Moses that referred to animal sacrifices for sins always pointed to Jesus 1 Cor 5:7. The law that defines sins and what all man will be judged by the Ten Commandments continues. James 2:10-12 Ecc 12:13-14 Mat 5:19-30 Rev 22:14-15 and Sabbath worship continues for everyone until He reveals Himself Isa 56:1-6 and continues forever thus saith the Lord Isa 66:22-23

Heb 9:9 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience— 10 concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation. 11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things [c]to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, [d]sanctifies for the [e]purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without [f]spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

Hebrews 10:1
10 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once [a]purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. 5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,But a body You have prepared for Me 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), 9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 By that will we have been [c]sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.


This is what Paul is referring to in Col 2:14-17. Paul does not have authority to change any law of God and countermand the many teachings of Jesus who taught not to break the least of these commandments quoting right from the Ten and why God’s faithful keep His commandments until the very end of time through love and faith. Exo 20:6 John 14:15 1 John 5:3 Rev 22:14 Rev 14:12

 

[ralliann]

Those fleshy ordinances were animal sacrifices, not what God wrote and God spoke that is a commandment of God (not a suggestion) that Jesus tells us to live by every Word.

No, it is all CARNAL elements of the law.
It in fact begins with "Genealogy" of the priesthood (LEVI vs JUDAH), Circumcision in the flesh, Sacrifices.
All shadows and patterns.
Without the priests, there would be no sacrifices unto the Lord....

Dt 17:3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.

Dt 21:4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer’s neck there in the valley:
5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:
6 And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
8 Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel’s charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
9 So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.

I do not have a problem with A Saturday Sabbath, only the contension and divisiveness and accusations calling people Sinners for not keeping Sinai law.

I do not have a problem with A Saturday Sabbath, only the contension and divisiveness and accusations calling people Sinners for not keeping Sinai law.

I should have clarified the earthy sanctuary system that refers to the Leviticus priesthood and animal sacrifices all pointed forward to Jesus.

Not one mention that we can now transgress God’s Ten Commandments that defines sin and what man is judged by and what Jesus taught and kept. May 5:18-30 Mark 7:7-33 Mat 15:3-14 Mat 19:17-19 Those are kept faithfully by His people until Jesus comes Rev 14:12 Rev 22:15

Thank you...

The WAY Fleshy Israel as the natural seed kept these.....were for a Shadow of the NEW COVENANT. Again no allowance of "covenants" here. It is in fact the new covenant that disannuls those fleshy elements........ We are all Abraham's seed in the covenant made in the blood of Christ....

The scripture showed us what those fleshly ordinances were- animal sacrifices- nothing to do with what God wrote and God spoke that Jesus tells us we are to live by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God Mat 4:4 and not to break the least of these commandments. Mat 5:18-30 My faith is in Him as I know Jesus would only teach us what would lead us down the narrow path and back to Him. Rev 22:14

The scripture shows us TWO covenants.
Two inheritances........
Sojourners, strangers vs heirs via these covenants.

Mt 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

Jos 18:7 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.

Heb 7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
Nu 18:20 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
Nu 18:23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
Nu 18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

Gen 17 royal covenant ......
Ge 17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Ge 17:16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

You pay no mind to covenants in the law, nor Paul.
Just the Sabbath of the Sinai covenant.
So let's not waste our time any longer, as it has only so far proved to accusations and divisiveness.
Peace to you and Good day to you.

I believe in God’s eternal covenant where He writes His law in our hearts and minds. Hebrews 8:10 as His new covenant is established on better promises, not better or new laws. Heb 8:6 as you can’t make something that is perfect Psa 19:7 more perfect. God makes no mistakes, people do - what He wrote and spoke is perfect because God is perfect and Jesus tells us to live by His every Word. Mat 4:4

Which is what we see Jesus and the apostles teaching and keeping the Ten Commandments all throughout their life Mat 5:18-30 Mat 7:7-16 Mat 15:3-14, Mat 19:17-19 Mark 10:19 including the Sabbath. Luke 23:56, Luke 4:16 Acts 13:42-44 Acts 18:4 Jesus said the Sabbath will be kept before He reveals Himself Isa 56:1-6 and God’s faithful keep everything He tells us to and does as He is the Way and led by example, our example to follow 1 John 2:6

I believe we should be unified, but never at the sacrifice of Truth. Scripture tells us this. Isa 8:20 all of God’s commandments are Truth Psa 119:172 and Jesus tells us to keep the commandments of God Mat 15:3-15 Mat 7:7-13 over human traditions. He never tells us the narrow path would be popular, but its the path that He tells us to take because He knows what’s best for us.

This ought to be a serious warning to those who think they can flaunt God's authority without consequences as He is the ultimate power and authority over the entire universe.

Please, what are the consequences?

Peace and Blessings

Eternal death from being put into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20: 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
