This is a life and death question because we know that those who will receive the seal of God will not enter heaven. The Bible says that these people will be worshiping it, and it talks about all people on earth being confronted with this issue, including all Christians, many of whom will receive the mark of the beast.
Once saved always saved?
How can most Christians receive the mark and refuse the seal of God if they are Christians? It is because a false belief among Christians is that as long as they believe in Jesus they will be saved. This is not true. Who will receive the seal of God? Those who live by the Bible only.
Many people go by traditions, or they follow what others do, or they follow family members’ beliefs. We can only find truth from God. The Bible is truth. Many Christians believe that once they are saved they will make it to heaven.
The Bible says that we are always free to choose selfishness, pride, and to be unkind and rude, or to follow Jesus and ask for His righteousness to do right. Those who believe that we can never lose our salvation do not understand that we can fall away. Being a Christian is not the name only, but the character. Being a Christian is who we are.
Inquiring who will receive the seal of God, we find out that many Christians will receive the mark of the beast at the same time claiming to be Christians. Jesus said, “Many will say Lord, Lord, and I will tell them, I do not know you. Depart from Me, you who work lawlessness.”
Also, not all who say Lord, Lord shall enter the kingdom, but only he who does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Who is the beast?
Sad to say, and as God loves all people, we find out that God has to tell us what will happen in the future. God loves people of all religions, but God has to tell us if there is a system that rejected the truth and made war with Him. This power is called the beast.
The beast we find in Daniel 8 is the power that lasted 1260 years, that thought to change the Sabbath to Sunday, the power that killed many Christians during the Middle Ages, the power that is in the city with seven hills, Rome, the power whose prelates wear purple and scarlet. Who is this beast?
The beast can be fulfilled by no other power than the papacy. Many are proving Catholics, often better people than Protestants, but we need to teach what the Bible teaches.
What is the seal of God?
To understand who will receive the seal of God, we need to understand what the seal of God is. In the catechism it says, “The change from Saturday to Sunday is the mark of our authority.” A mark as the name, title, and territory.
Where do we find the seal or mark of God in the Bible? We find it in the Sabbath commandment which says:
Name God
But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
Title Creator
For in 6 days He made
Territory Universe
Heaven, earth, and the sea
The seal of God is the Sabbath; the mark of the beast is that someone thought to change the seal of God and, in blasphemy, claimed that they had the right to change the Bible and the Ten Commandments.
The issue is: Are we going to follow God or society? The apostles said we ought to obey God rather than men. We should follow human laws, but we are not saved by human laws. But the time comes when God will send a test: either following the Bible Sabbath sent by God, or follow Sunday, a human precept that is in rebellion against God. On which side do you want to stand, brother and sister?
Who will receive the seal of God? Only a few people, sadly, will receive the seal of God, as Jesus said. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when Jesus returns. Only a few entered into the ark; the whole world, even if religious, was filled with unbelief, selfishness, pride, and disloyalty.
The same thing is happening today. Most people today are in unbelief. It is fashionable not to believe and to worship human reasoning and human ideas. What one believes has become absolute truth. The sad thing is that most people do not think twice about following this new fashion.
Even Christians do not believe someone is led by God in His words. Almost all words most Christians today believe come from human reasoning. Most people today believe that men can explain the Bible. They believe men have the power to decide what truth is and to invent truth.
If this was the case, then why do we need Bibles? Why would we need the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth if human reasoning could not only explain truth but also create truth without God? No wonder that Revelation 14 says that God will be very angry. This time of the mark of the beast, it says in Revelation 14:
If any man worship the beast and his image, he will receive the wrath of God poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation.
When asking who will receive the seal of God, the issue will not be so much keeping the wrong day that will anger such a loving and kind God. But it will be that, in the face of plain truth, men worldwide will choose to follow human reasoning.
It will be the deeply deceitful and dishonest spirit of men that will bring God’s judgments on earth. Because when the seal of God and the mark of the beast issue comes, it will not be a mystery. The Bible says that it will be a worldwide theme in study.
All nations, people, tribes, and tongues will know what this will be about. Men will then willfully sin and reject the truth, knowing full well that Sunday is just a pagan day, a human and reasoning power enactment that has nothing to do with the Bible. We read this in Revelation 14.
Then Romans chapter 1 says that there will be no excuse. In the context, it talks about atheists looking at creation having no excuse to believe evolution. We can take the text into who will receive the seal of God. As this message will be preached to all nations, it will be on national television.
Most people all over the world will decide from understanding that what they will obey is not found in the Bible. But now and in the soon future many people will not care about the Bible, as all that will matter will be following human reasoning and human precepts. Many will be in utmost rebellion against God and will justly receive the 7 last plagues.
As the Bible says, we need to be honest. Revelation 21:8 says all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire. God is merciful and wants us to follow the truth and be honest. The Holy Spirit is pleasing with our hearts. Will we follow the truth, or will you follow the crowds and multitudes?
Who will receive the seal of God? They are those who will have come out of Babylon. They will be those who have accepted the last message for planet Earth, the 3 angels’ message. Two classes will then live on earth. The distinction will be very clear on who are on God’s side and who are on Satan’s side. The Sabbath will be the issue to separate the children of God from the children of the wicked one. On which side will you be? Which side do you choose not to be a part of?
Repeat after me: Father God, please help me to follow truth. Help me to be honest and accept the 3 angels’ message and the righteousness by faith message. Please forgive my sins, bless and heal me in the name of Jesus. Amen.
