WHY THE SEAL WAS INTRODUCED

WHY WAS THE SEAL INTRODUCED?

INTRODUCTION:

First of all, what is seal? Seal according to Oxford Advanced Dictionary 6^th edition means “Official mark” or “official design or mark stamped on a document and carries the authority of a particular person or organization”. 2. It also means “Coverage” i.e “to cover properly” with identification mark of a person or organization. For example, when a foundation of a building is laid, it must be covered properly inside and outside. This is seal.   

Seal could be seen from the book of Genesis 1:2 when the Holy Spirit sealed the earth after restoration from Satan’s destruction of the earth. “Then it showed the mark of God’s ownership of heavens and the earth”. Again it is “It reveals the authenticity of God’s programs in the Bible”. When the first seal is opened, the programs written in it begins to play as events to the world. Seal carries these events and when opened they start to play through the cassettes as events into the world.

When God instructed Noah on how to build the Ark, he was given the form or pattern. God said to him “Build yourself an Ark of Gofer wood; rooms shall thou put in the Ark, and thou shall pitch it with Pitch within and without” etc Gen.6:14-16. To pitch it with pitch within and without means “to seal it with seal inside and outside”.

We should study these things very well to see and observe what the Bible said about seal. The whole of the Ark was sealed within and without or inside and outside with Bitumen which served as mortar.  This seal made the Ark water tight against the flood and it sailed on the waters and saved Noah with the rest inside the Ark, but let’s continues.  

Seal has variations:

In the book of Rapture I showed the variations of the seal as “the act of the Holy Spirit on the saints upon their attainment of salvation through the name of Jesus Christ” Eph. 1:13. So when one becomes a believer in Christ, the Holy Spirit performs the act of sealing on him/her. This seal makes it possible for god to know you as his. So wherever you are, he knows as his own. This is also seal in another aspect. And Apostle Paul warned us not to grieve the Holy Spirit so that he doesn’t cancel our seal Eph. 4:30. He will not only cancel your seal if grieve him, but he will also fight against you Isaiah 63:10.

Yet in a little while backwards in Gen. 1:2 we see how the Holy Spirit sealed the earth after restoring it from the destruction of the earth by Satan. The Bible said “God created the heavens and the earth” Gen.1:1, this was perfectly done. But sharply in verse two we see that the earth became void again, why?; after a perfect creation of heavens and the earth?

From here now, this was the place we spotted Lucifer trying to be like the most high God, and it was discovered and he was cast down to the earth, then he began doing his destructive game after he was cast down to the earth.  But we believe that God might have created the heavens and the earth after a long time from the time he created the Angels.

Yes because we didn’t see the record of his creation of the Angels. So the Angels were created first before the creation of heavens and the earth, and Lucifer was an Angel before his rebellion was discovered in heaven. So he was in heaven as an Angel before the heavens and the earth were created. He was there during this creation and that’s why he could destroy it when he was cast down. But he never remembered that God created him and that he can do all things.

And there was a gap period of more or about   millions of years existing between Gen. 1:1 and 1:2. We thought of this because the record of Lucifer’s action from the book of Isaiah indicated that Lucifer had expected to receive “a hand over from God”; but it was not forth coming, then he decided to take it by force Is.14:12-14.  God’s creation of heavens and earth were perfect in the first place, but soon the earth became void, what happened?

 He had plotted rebellion in heaven and tried to become God and he was promptly cast down to the earth, though not without war in heaven Rev. 12:7-9. He said to himself that “he would be like the highest” Isa.14:14. But when this thought was yet being incubated in his heart, it was trapped in God’s eyes and a command came from the most high to cast him down to the earth.

And as the Angels who were loyal to God tried to cast him down, there arose Angels who became loyal to him about 1/3 of them and they were cast down to the earth through war Rev.12:7-9. God’s Angels overpowered them and pushed them down to the earth.

This in effect made him and his loyalists to destroy the beautifully created earth after he was cast down with his loyalist Angels, so that the earth became void again and without shape, and formless. Then it was after the restoration of the earth and sealing by the Holy Spirit, for he “hovered over the formless earth, and gave it a reasonable amount of heat which dissolved the waters again Gen.1:2. Then God commanded that there should be light and it was so.

After this he sealed the waters and gave it boundaries. From here the Holy Spirit owned seal/s, see Gen. 1:2; Eph.1:13. And all of God’s programs were sealed. This is to make it impossible for Satan’s destruction again, and that’s why all of his programs are on seal 2Tim.2:19. Therefore seal authenticates his authority over the Word or Bible.

Since that day God then to sealed all his programs with seal.  Apostle Paul after studying these things, he informed his spiritual son Timothy that God’s foundations or programs is sure and having seal 2Tim.2:19. This is why no document is regarded as authentic in the east without seal, according to Smith’s Bible dictionary page 601, par 1. 

Therefore the use of seal cannot be over emphasized and without seal, no one gives better explanation of God’s programs. In the topic of Rapture without seal, especially “Pre tribulation Rapture teaching” the teachers make shipwreck of its teaching. Pre tribulation means “Rapture before tribulation or before the appearance of the antichrist”.  Without seal, they contradict almost all of the teaching about Rapture. Because they do not have the relevant understanding of how or could not combine seal with Rapture, every bit of their teaching is contradicting the Bible.

For example, see the book of Rapture with this keyword, “Rapture: the Past, Present and What to Expect in the Future”, it is written with seal, and this is the real Biblical teaching. It is “Post tribulation Rapture teaching” under “Historic Pre millennialism”.

This teaching with seal under “Pre millennialism” is yet under the school of “Futurism”. It was the topic and teaching of which the Lord Jesus taught his disciples Matt. 24:29-31 which says “immediately after the tribulation of those days”, we could begin to expect the coming of the son of man”. It is as well the message of Daniel 7:21, “I beheld and the same horn (Beast) made war against the saints and prevailed”. “Making war against  the saints” means to kill the saints or the Church.

It is also the teaching of Apostle Paul, 2Thess.2:1-4. Paul said “that day shall not come, unless or except the man of sin or the Antichrist appears, and there must come a falling away first”. Here Paul instructed the Church to watch out “when the Beast would enter into the Temple to claim that he is God” 2 thess.2:4. This therefore is “Post tribulation”.  Yes the appearance of this Beast into the Temple would cause tribulation because the Jews would reject him there. And his rejection will trigger off tribulation against the Church.   

What does falling away first mean? It means that the Antichrist must first come before that day of Rapture, and those who believe not this topic must fall away first when they see the antichrist in the world. Their faith will fail because they believe they would be taken up in the Rapture before the appearance of the Antichrist. But if eventually they see him on earth, they would say that the word of God has finally failed, and so they would damn the consequences and take the mark of the Beast, or any of his options. But those with this knowledge would not be afraid because we believe the right topic.  

Therefore “Pre tribulation Rapture teaching” is the erroneous view, avoid it now and embrace “Post tribulation view” which is the correct view. This was the Biblical topic which Paul, Jesus and Daniel preached in the Bible. Apostle John also wrote to the Church saying “you have heard that Antichrist shall come, even as there are many Antichrists in the world already” I Jon. 1:18.

If there is no way the coming of Antichrist concerns the Church, what’s the need emphasizing about his coming to the church? John was in agreement that Antichrist is coming against the church hence he was informing us about it. But even at that time many of them were in place.

With this teaching from Paul, there’s agreement with Jesus that “when you will see the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel” Math. 24:15. Abomination of desolation is the entrance of the Beast/Antichrist into the Temple of Jerusalem.  In the Temple Paul instructed the Church at Thessaloniki to watch when the Beast would enter into it to claim that he is God 2 Thess. 2:4.

If Apostle Paul wrote these things in the Bible, why have some people left the truth to follow false teaching? This teaching from Apostle Paul is “Post tribulation teaching”. When you see the Antichrist into the Temple, this is “Post tribulation”. The Bible does not contradict itself, and where there is contradiction, it is from the teacher, not the Bible. Apostle Paul had been misunderstood, misinterpreted, and his words misapplied greatly by people so much. There’s no part of the Bible that says “immediately before the tribulation of those day, you will see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven”.

What our teachers are using is assumption which is not written. Your teacher does not know it more than Jesus, Paul or Daniel. Neither does your teacher love you more than Christ. So forget about your sudden take up from the earth, instead search for my book of Rapture for the explanation of those sudden words from the Bible.

Paul knew that the Holy Spirit owned seal and he communicated it to the Church at Ephesus 1:13. He said, “When you receive the Gospel of your salvation by hearing the name of Jesus, you are saved by him and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise” Eph.1:13. This is in agreement with Jesus’ teaching which says, “No man can come to me except my father draw him” Jon. 6:44.

With this statement, we discover that the father, the son and the Holy Spirit are involved in the salvation of one soul, how? Jesus meant that it is the father who draws every sinner Jon.6:44, and presents such sinner to Jesus for salvation. And Jesus saves him/her Jon 10:9. After saving the sinner he also presents the same to the Holy Spirit for sealing Eph.1:13. This is wonderful indeed.

The Holy Spirit does the last work on the sinner and keeps him/her. Yes, today the Holy Spirit is God who is working now on earth, till the day of Redemption. Apostle Paul warns that we should not grieve the Holy Spirit by which we are sealed unto the day of redemption Eph.4:30. The question is “If we grieve him what happens”?

He will cancel his seal on whosoever grieves him.  If he cancels any one’s seal, he will also fight against you and become an enemy to you Is.63:10. The cancellation of his seal from you will in turn remove the salvation of Christ from you also. This is so because that Spirit is the Spirit of Christ 2Cor.3:17. There is no difference between them.

IF THE FIRST SEAL ON EARTH IS MAINTAINED:

The maintenance of the first seal takes us to the second and final sealing on air. This second sealing takes effect as the church is taken up in the rapture and is on air. Revelation 7:1-3 indicates that a second sealing is necessary as an ascending Angel stopped the four Angels who were drafted there in the east not to hurt the trees, and the grasses till the servants of God are sealed in our foreheads Rev. 7:1-3.

For those who do not know the importance of seal, they should study this post to be aware of it. Some say that the seal is talking about “The war of Angels through the Trumpets”. This is a clear show of great misunderstanding of seal. We see all of God’s programs on seal, especially as God’s end time program began.

Then the first seal was opened by the lamb Rev.6:1-2. This first seal said, “Conquering and to conquer. What does it mean? When the first seal was opened, the Babylonia king went out and conquered the Assyrian king and reigned. At the expiration of Babylonia kingdom, Persia through Cyrus went out and conquered Belshazzar of Babylon and reigned. It means that Kingdoms began to conquer other kingdoms. This beginning was from Babylon to Rome. The book of Rapture explains it better.  

 These conquering of the world went on in the world till Jesus conquered the world from the Roman kingdom. You know someone cannot say what he doesn’t know. Of course Jesus is one of the conquerors of the world, how many people know that? Jon.16:33. He said “be of good cheer I have overcome or conquered the world”.  

The book of Rapture from me shows you how seal is used to teach the topic of Rapture without contradiction.

People are called by God for the writing of the word, like Moses who wrote Genesis to Deuteronomy. Joshua wrote the book of Joshua and many others. Also some people are called to give the explanation of various words and topics from the Bible. I’m called to write and talk about “Eschatology” which is a derivation of two Greek words,1 “eschatos” meaning “last things” and 2. “Logos”; meaning “Study Discourse or Doctrine”. It is one of the hardest topics in the Bible.

God knew that this topic of Rapture has already been misunderstood, misinterpreted and misapplied by the so called “Revd Drs and Bishops etc.” When I look at what they teach, I shudder at it. Yet they brag about themselves so much. I have no time to brag for writing one of the best books about the true Rapture teaching.

 They overlook so many things and through their education miss out on many things from the Bible. The Bible is not all about speaking of English language, yet it is an integral part of the word. Yes we believe the use of tenses, nouns and pronouns in the interpretation of the Bible is important, but this should not remove God’s call on people or their message. Apostles Peter and John were unlearned, and they did not mind the use of these things yet they performed more than many educated ones among us today Acts. 4:13.

For example, where grammar is needed according to the study on “Hermeneutics” these Revd Drs missed it. But those Apostles did not miss it. See “Controversial Point” in my book called “Rapture: the Past, Present and What to Expect in the Future”. Grammar is used to interpret “The way” in 2Thess. 2:7.  You will discover that these Pre tribulationists didn’t get it well in “Pre tribulation Rapture teaching”. They avoid the seal program and for that they miss all the location of the topic in the program.

Seal one has events drawn into it, so that when it is opened, these events begins to play into the world and people see them as something happening by chance. The same thing happens when seal two is opened. These things are explained in the book of Rapture. When the third seal was opened, the Nation of Israel was born according to Rev.6:5-6 and Dan. 12:1b, for their explanation, see the book of Rapture.

The seal to be opened any moment from now is the fourth seal Rev.6:7-8. It is where the Beast/Antichrist comes out into the world. If you like say “it’s not your portion” and let’s watch out what’s going to happen any moment from now. But let me warn you now, you cannot say nobody told you. I have uploaded many topics in my site for you to read and benefit from, what’s stopping or who is stopping you?

In seal 4, the Holy Spirit is blocking it so that it must be opened at the proper time. The Holy Spirit is described by Paul as “He that letteth” See 2Thess. 2:7. And in the book of Rapture you can understand what the Bible is talking about as “seal Remnants” in the fourth seal. Something that looks like scissors was drawn in the front of the fourth seal to indicate “he that letteth” with picture of the seal Remnant. The seal Remnants show the number the seals which have not been opened for now, and they are four in numbers.

Obtain this book from www.amazon.com; Google.com; Apple.com etc.  Or just type into Google this keyword “Rapture: the Past, Present and What to Expect in the Future”. Google will display it to you, but you won’t read from there.

 It’s an eBook, so you need to buy it with a little token of about $9.99, and it’s yours forever. Or Go to the publisher at www.westbowpress.com and ask about the book from their Add to Cart and get it there. It will not only teach you about Rapture from the beginning of the world to the end, but it will also show you “the world powers” about seven of them which is recognized by the Bible. And also show you what seal mean and you will see how seal was used in the topic of Rapture, and in the   salvation of every soul saved etc.

God bless.
