I am sealed with God the Holy Spirit, you might say -- Really? But if that is so, do you also bear another "seal" -- that of God’s own signature? And just exactly what does the Bible present as the object of a sign or a seal?

 

"Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed," (Daniel 6:8).

 

"Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse" (Esther 8:8).

 

     To affix a signature through the use of a ring was the custom of kings. The ring might contain a their name, initials, or monogram for the express purpose of acting as the king’s official seal. For example; Jezebel, the wife of Ahab, "wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal," (1 Kings 21:8). Of the decree issued under Ahasuerus for the slaying of all Jews throughout the Persian Empire it was said that, "in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring." (Esther 3:12).

 

     The great seal of a king must show three things: (1) The name of the lawgiver; (2) His official position, title, or authority, and so his right to rule; and (3) his kingdom, or extent of his dominion and jurisdiction.

 

 

     Or more explicitly, and in more modern times: (1) JAMES, (2) BY THE GRACE OF GOD, (3) KING OF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND IRELAND, DEFENDER OF THE FAITH, &c. (Taken from the King James Holy Bible of 1611).

 

     But where exactly in His Holy Word, is God’s seal found -- the "seal" of our
"KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS"?
NOTE: YHWH [LORD] = Yahweh (or, JHVH - JEHOVAH) = Yeshua (Hebrew), or JESUS (English transliteration) [Lord] -- i.e., KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS -- "the Word" -- Creator.

 

     Does the first commandment show who the author of the law is?

 

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:3).

 

     Who the "me" here spoken of is, the commandment itself does not state. Such a prohibition might come from any source . Any heathen could claim it as a command from his god, and, so far as the commandment itself goes, no one could disprove his claim.

     Does the second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, or tenth commandment indicate the author of the Decalogue? No; none of them. The second commandment forbids the making and bowing down to images, but does not in itself reveal who the true God being spoken of, is. The third commandment states, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain," but it likewise fails to reveal the true God and giver of the law. A worshipper of the sun, for example, might say he kept this commandment so far as itself reveals what god is meant. So of the other commandments here referred to. In the last five commandments the name of God is not even mentioned.

     Which commandment alone of the Decalogue reveals the true God and Author of the law?

 

 

     The fourth commandment alone reveals the name, authority, and dominion of the Author of the law. In six days, (1) the Lord (name); (2) made (office, Creator); (3) heaven and earth (dominion). This commandment alone, therefore, contains "the seal (signature) of the Living God". By what is revealed in this commandment is shown what God is referred to in the other commandments. By the great truth revealed here, all other gods are shown to be false gods. The Sabbath commandment, therefore, contains the seal of God; and the Sabbath itself, the observance of which is enjoined by the commandment, is inseparably connected with this seal. It is interesting to note that when the Fourth Commandment, "the least of these", is broken; the remaining nine tend to fall in rapid succession. The Sabbath is to be kept in memory of the fact that God is the Creator of all things; and it is itself called a "sign" of the knowledge of this great truth.

 

 

     The Sabbath is the great sign of God's creative power wherever and however manifested, whether in creation or redemption; for redemption is creation -- re-creation. It requires the same power to redeem, that it does to create. "Create in me a clean heart." Psalm 51:10. "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works." Ephesians 2:10. At each recurrence of the Sabbath, God designs that it shall call Him to mind as the one Who created us, and Whose grace and sanctifying power are working in us to fit us for His eternal kingdom.

This includes ALL "earthly churches," denominations, faiths, and/or organizations -- the mother and her "whoreling daughters" adorned in every conceivable cloak of deception -- each professing to the world to be "legitimate".
