My post today re-emphasizes the content of the article I posted on the 9th of September 2023 titled ‘The Last Struggle on Earth’. A quick recap of that post and I quote:
‘Then I heard, ‘It’s The Last Struggle on Earth…Your Jesus, for this assurance that all struggles are completely gone in our lives’. Following this message, I saw written in a vision, www.
This message was a foreboding of the current events in the Middle East. From the above revelation, it was indicated that ‘The Last Struggle’ was going to make waves on the World Wide Web. This is exactly what is currently unfolding in the last 23 days between Israel and Gaza and the Middle East in general. From my research on that post, I indicated that the ‘last struggle’ that is espoused in the article is a foreboding of the: Second Coming of Christ and The Annihilation of the Armies of satan. Please read my post again on ‘The Last Struggle on Earth’.
A Struggle for Power Throughout the Holy Land
An excerpt of my post: As the armies of the world are engaged in a struggle for power throughout the Holy Land and in the very act of sacking the city of Jerusalem, the glory of the Lord appears in heaven and the majestic procession pictured in Revelation 19:11-16 takes place. At the head of the procession is Christ, described as riding on a white horse coming to judge and make war. His eyes are as a flame of fire and on His head are many crowns.
End Time Signs
The end-time events or what I call the signs before the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ are here. Jesus talked about the signs in the book of Matthew, Chapter 24. The four signs Our Lord Jesus spoke about are:
- The sign of Deception; Increasing danger of deception by false teachers
- The sign of Disputes among nations; ‘…wars and rumors of wars, with nations rising against each other’…
- Sign of Devastation; Jesus warned of famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
- Sign of Deliverance into tribulation; there will be an explosion of antagonism towards God’s people.
In Matthew 24:6, Jesus told his disciples, ‘See to it, that you are not troubled, for All these must come to pass. The above-listed occurrences are no match for The Almighty God. Scriptures tell us that God declares the ‘end from the beginning’ and that His ‘Counsel shall stand’.
Understanding the Signs of the End Times
By understanding the signs of End Times, contextually, we join The Apostle Paul in saying ‘For Our Light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of Glory’. (2 Corinthians, 4:17).
“In the very nature of things, the signs of the times will not cease until the Lord comes. Those that involve chaos commotion, and distress of nations will continue in the future with even greater destructive force. Men’s hearts will fail them for fear to a greater degree hereafter than heretofore.
In the face of this grim reality, God’s children require the Holy Spirit of God to grant us Mercy. As we seek the face of The Lord diligently with Holiness and Righteousness and with trepidation during these end-time scourging occurrences, we pray for God’s Divine Help and Protection. As indicated above, Our Lord Jesus says we should not be troubled. Indeed, we believe Jesus and so are not troubled. However, this assurance of security requires that God’s children abide in Christ and Christ in them and consequently, receive The Seal of The Lamb of God-Our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Meaning of The Seal of God
The Seal of God is God’s mark of identification or ownership. It guarantees one’s eternal safety and certifies that one’s relationship with God is real.
The Apostle Paul described the sealing of the Lord as such: “Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of His glory” (Ephesians 1:13b–14).
As one scholar indicates, ‘The Book of Revelation says that the redeemed bear a seal on their foreheads. The seal consists of the names of God and the Lamb and shows that the redeemed belong to God (Revelation 14:1)’.
According to him, The Seal is presumably not a visible one but a way of indicating that people find their identity in relationship to God and Christ. This seal or relationship does not mean that people are exempt from all earthly suffering, but it does show that God has claimed them and given them the promise of life everlasting.
What Is the Forehead Seal Symbolic of in the Bible?
The seal of God is symbolic of God marking his people to save them from a terrible ordeal during the end times. In Biblical times, a seal was put on a document to make it legal. The meaning of the seal of God is to indicate ownership of God’s people. It ensures your everlasting protection and verifies that your relationship with God is real.
Having the seal of God on your forehead gives a blessed vision of what God has in mind for His people. A vision of blessings, protection, and everlasting life with God, Our Lord Jesus, The Holy Ghost, and All The Heavenly Saints and His Holy Archangels and legions of angels.
The Purpose of The Seal?
Below are a few listed purposes of a ‘seal.’ A seal:
- Guarantees safety.
- Is a mark of ownership.
- Certifies that something is authentic.
Qualification For the Seal of God
Revelation says that the redeemed bear a seal on their foreheads.
“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession–to the praise of his glory” (Ephesians 1:13-14).
“God…saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior” (Titus 3:5-6)
End Time Tribulation
Scriptures tell us that these end times of tribulation will be a time of desolation for those who have not accepted The Lord Jesus Christ and most importantly, those who have not received The ‘Seal of Mercy ‘ from Our Lord Jesus Christ who died to save us from eternal damnation.
For my part, I am fervently asking God to put the Seal of Mercy on us All, His Children. This is our only assurance that not only will we withstand and overcome the tribulations of the End Times, but we shall also be assured of an experience of a life after death of bliss in the Heavenly places in the presence of God Our Creator. We shall join the four and twenty elders and the entire Heavenly Host to Praise and Worship The Almighty God, and Our Lord Jesus, sitting on His Right Hand and The Holy Ghost sitting on the left hand, all night and day from eternity to eternity.
To be with God in paradise is the goal of All believers of God through The Lord Jesus Christ.
The Spirit in our hearts
“Now it is God who makes All of Us stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come” (II Corinthians 1:21-22).
Conclusion
To conclude, I pray that The Lamb of God (Jesus Christ) who takes away the sins of the world has mercy on us and that The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world grants us Peace.
Prayer: “Our prayer today, Father, is for You to mold us and shape us to be strong in Your Power. Open our eyes so that we can see the spiritual warfare that is taking place. Awaken hearts everywhere and open the eyes of the blind to see You. We give our allegiance to the King of Kings, Jesus! We await Your wonderful coming Savior Jesus when all will be revealed and we will see You in your glory, as You really are.”
Prayer written by Keith Thomas.
Glory and Honor Be To God Almighty, Glory, and Honor Be To Our Lord Jesus Christ, and Glory, and Honor Be To The Holy Ghost.
