Q: How do I receive the Seal of God?
A: The seal of God is God’s stamp that identifies who God’s children are. Throughout the Bible, God has sealed the people He approved. Sometimes the seal is the Holy Spirit (1 Co 9:2), and sometimes it is a seal of ownership (2 Co 1:22).
In the last days, God carries out a different kind of sealing work. This seal marks those who will be saved from the last disaster.
“After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: ‘Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.’”
In the Bible, wind represents war (Jer 4:11). The four angels holding back the four winds means the last world war. The Bible lets us know when the sealing work begins:
“I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.”
The Passover is the Seal of God
“‘Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.’”
“‘Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.’”
Putting the above 2 verses together, whoever eats Jesus’ flesh and blood receives the eal of God. Jesus’ flesh and blood is given through the Passover of the New Covenant.
“On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, ‘Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?’ ... So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. ... he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, ‘Take and eat; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the [new] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.’”
God Uses the Passover to Protect His People From Disasters
During Moses’ time, God showed the power of the power of the Passover by saving the Israelites from a plague that killed the firstborn of the Egyptians (Ex 12:5–14). Later, in the time of the kings, God continued to protect those who kept the Passover (2Ch 30:1; 2Ki 19:30–35). Back then, the people sacrificed a lamb for the Passover. Today, Jesus is the true Passover Lamb (1Co 5:7).
Now, the whole world is waiting for the seal of God. The biblical history is a lesson to teach us (Ro 15:4). We should receive the Seal of God so we can have God’s protection from all disasters.
