Rev 7:1-3
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
(KJV)


The idea of the four winds blowing is about the ending of this present world. God tells the four angels to hold them back until... He has sealed His servants beforehand. Then 144,000 of the seed of Israel are mentioned, and then Rev.7:9 forward shows a multitude that no man can number is sealed, having gone through the tribulation and overcame through the blood of The Lamb Jesus Christ.

So what kind... of sealing is that? Is it some physical mark on your forehead? or INSIDE your forehead? What's in... your forehead anyway? Your brain!

What were the Seals earlier in Revelation about? No man was worthy to break open those Seals except our Lord Jesus Himself, and then He gave the events for the last days to happen upon this earth just prior to His return.

So do you think maybe, just maybe, God's Sealing has something to do with 'understanding' those events of the Seals?

Yes, most definitely. That is why our Lord Jesus was opening them for us, so we would not be deceived in these last days by Satan.

Just so happens, our Lord Jesus also gave those events of the Seals in Rev.6 to us back in His Olivet Discourse of Matthew 24 and Mark 13. By that we are to study all 3 of those Bible chapters in parallel. They are about the same 7 Signs for the very end which He gave in Matt.24 and Mark 13.

By understanding that the rest of His Book of Revelation will begin to open up to you, and you will begin to be Sealed with His Seal, in your forehead, in your mind, with understanding. Then you will be able to actually heed the Words of our Lord's Revelation prophecy like John said in Rev.1.

You are seal by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption. An unsaved person can be possessed by Satan, A saved person cannot be possessed but opressed by Satan. Its impossible for a Born again believer to be possessed. or sealed.

We need to be sealed by Christ and for Christ. From Christ as redemption and as a sign, of us asking for repentance of sins. So that we can be cleaned and cleared by His forgiveness and love!

If we are sealed by The Father and His Son, then we SHOULD... be aware of the events of the end leading up to our Lord Jesus' return to gather us.

So the sealing is not just about our first Faith on Jesus Christ as The Saviour. It's about a sealing of protection away from deception that's to specifically occur in these last days. So those not prepared in that, with understanding, might want to get down to Bible study and find out about it, for the time is really short now.

Veteran .... you still think you are one of the 144,000 .... ?
I wouldn't say that. I could be one of the "great multitude" of Rev.7 in that chapter which are also... sealed with God's seal, because that Scripture shows them having washed their robes in the Blood of Lamb, having come out of great tribulation and overcame it.
