Bible Question: In Revelation 7:1-3 what is the seal of the living god? |
Bible Answer: The seal in scipture means alot of things,it allways depends on the context of our scripture for instance we have envolopes to day that we lick and seal, back then they would put a seal on a scroll with items such as a Kings ring for the stamp, signifieing that the scroll is from the King. Just as in Daniels Book He is told to seal up the book for the time are far off. Then we see in Revelation that there is a scroll being opens 7 seals. While you unroll a scroll you would come to another seal,, which you could open or not. Then there is the seal of God in our forheads that is the same thing as a mark, like that of the beast in Revelation being put on their wrist or forhead its not literal it means that you have givin your self over to Him, just like when we are Gods. This referance you have made is the seal of Salvation from our Lord it is an eternal Seal of the Holy Spirit. 2 Cor 1:21-22 (KJV) 21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. Eph 1:13 (KJV) 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Love in Christ Jesus RC 2 Tim 2:19 (KJV) 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. |
