Sorry if this is slightly off topic or not exactly the point of the thread. But I was always under the impression that God's seal on us was the Holy Spirit. Also I have heard so many theories as to what the Mark of the Beast is, and who/what the AntiChrist could be (from the EU, to the Pope, ect.) that it could make your head spin. Since it is in the future and NO ONE (excpet God) knows exactly what will go down, isn't it pointless to argue about it?
You know, that's an excellent question and I hope I have an adequate answer. Bible prophecy is nothing more than the revealing of history before it actually happens. Furthermore, Jesus Christ warned us to watch, take heed, and be not deceived.I think discussing things such as Bible Prophecy is important because, by the free flow of information, opinions and convictions regarding scripture we are apt to be more educated, more assute, and more informed than those that have no mind to pay attention or care about the signs of the times.
I think that as believers we should focus on our seal. Because thats what actually pertains to us.
Well, that's certainly applicable no doubt. But God does indeed have a specific seal that He gives to those that desire truth, knowledge and wisdom and the seal is His Word and specifically His Law.The servants of God are sealed in their foreheads:Revelation 7:3Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.The Words of God and His Holy Law, the 10 Commandments are seen as being as "frontlets between the eyes." That is, in the mind, the forehead.Deuteronomy 6:6And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
