Bible Question: How do you understand the meaning of God's seal on the Son and can this relate to the 'sealing' of saints in Revelation? |
Bible Answer: Thomas I think the nature of seals is that God puts the Holy Spirit into the equation, like when Jesus received the Holy Spirit in the Jordan River, and then we see Jesus having been given the power to do His whole ministry. But I also think that when it comes to us the way the seal of the Holy Spirit works is very different because we aren't give the power as a human to save people as God. We are given the promise of salvation, and the power to witness; Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation - having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise. Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the uttermost parts of the earth. In Revelation 9:4 it talks about not harming those who have the seal of God in their foreheads - so they must be the saved. But I think unlike the seal of salvation as the Holy Spirit, and unlike the Seal on the Son to give eternal life, here the seal is a visible mark put by God on the foreheads signifying that they are His, that they are saved by the same method and process we are with the seal of the Holy Spirit inside, but this is different, signifying by an outward visible seal mark that they are not of those who have the other visible mark of damnation. peacebestill |
