Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 7:1-8 explains about the people who are sealed from Israel.
Those people refer to the core of the perfect body of Christ or the heavenly bride who is ready to welcome His second coming.  

Revelation 7:2-3
7:2 Then 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 granted to harm the earth and the sea,
7:3 saying, "Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads."

So, the perfect body of Christ or the heavenly bride refers to the people who receive the seal of God on their foreheads and belong to Him forever. It means that they cannot be charged against by anything or anyone. They are set free from the condemnation of God in the world , the doomsday, and the hell.

We learn about the relation of the seal of God with the resurrection of Jesus or Passover.
Matthew 27:66
27:66 So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the guard.

The tomb of Jesus was sealed by the guards to prove that Jesus was really dead and not resurrected, so He was only man or not the savior, but a deceiver.
For us, the tomb of Jesus was sealed by the guards is to prove that He was really dead and resurrected or nothing may hinder it. We commemorate His death on the Good Friday Service and His resurrection on The Passover Service. So, the tomb of Jesus was sealed to prove His death and resurrection to give us or the church and the bride of God the seal on the foreheads.

Commemorating the Good Friday is to give the seal of God or the seal of Jesus' blood and name on our forehead.
Commemorating the Passover means that the resurrection of Jesus gives the seal of God on the foreheads of the church or the bride of God.

There are two seals of God through the resurrection of Jesus as follows:

  1. The seal of the true teaching word.
    John 5:24
    5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My wordand believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

    The word of Jesus refers to the word which is said by Jesus and revealed by Holy Spirit, namely a verse explains other verses in the Bible. It is the true teaching word.

    The word of Jesus or the true teaching word is able to move people from death into life. It is the same as resurrecting the dead.
    So, the true teaching word contains the power of resurrection.

    Deuteronomy 6:4-8
    6:4 " Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!
    6:5 "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
    6:6 " And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.
    6:7 "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
    6:8 "You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eye.

    The house of Israel is given the seal of the true teaching word which is preached repetitively on the foreheads and hands.  

    Acts 13:43,46
    13:43 Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
    13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

    Actually, the true teaching word is only entrusted to the house of Israel, but a part of them rejects it, so there is opportunity for the Gentiles. By the mercy of God, the Gentiles can receive the seal of the true teaching word which is preached repetitively on their foreheads and hands.
    Therefore, the Gentiles must be shepherded well and correctly. If they are not shepherded, they are only like dog and swine that will be destroyed.

    The processes of sealing the Word are as follows:

    • Hearing the true teaching word which is repeated in the anointing of Holy Spirit, so we can hear it seriously and with a need like the dog that licks the crumbs.
    • Understanding the true teaching word. It means being sealed on the forehead.
    • Believing the true teaching word, so it becomes faith in heart. It means being sealed on the heart.
    • Practicing the true teaching word. It means being sealed on the hand and the mouth.

    The true teaching word which is obeyed will become the wisdom and power of God to sanctify our whole life as the Gentiles.

    • Sanctifying our heart and mind.
      Mark 7:21-23
      7:21 "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
      7:22 "thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
      7:23 "All these evil things come from within and defile a man."

      The heart and mind of fleshly man consist of twelve evil, unclean, and bitter desires which bring to the destruction. If the heart and mind are sanctified, They will be filled with twelve cakes.

      Leviticus 24:5-8
      24:5 " And you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it. Two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake.
      24:6 "You shall set them in two rows, six in a row,on the pure gold table before the LORD.
      24:7 "And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
      24:8 "Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.

      The twelve cakes are set in two rows, six in a row and must be new every Sabbath. It means that there is the revelation of the word of God, namely the true teaching word. 
      The pastor receives the opening of the word to be practiced and preached, so it becomes the food for the congregation. 
      The congregation can eat the word, namely hearing and doing the shepherding word seriously.

      Leviticus 24:9
      24:9 "And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the offerings of the LORD made by fire, by a perpetual statute."

      As a result, there is the guarantee of physical life preservation directly from God which cannot be hindered by anyone. Where there is food of the word, all things are provided. There is also the spiritual preservation, so we experience the rest or the peace. All things are easy and light, so we will not enter the future double famine until the time of the persecution of antichrist for three and a half years.

    • The sanctification to the sinful deed up to the peak, so we can do the right, holy, and good one.
    • The sanctification to the words which are a dog licking the vomit or the idle words, lies, slander, vilification, and blasphemy to God. If we are sanctified from the idle words, we will say the right, holy, and good one.

      Ephesians 4:11-12
      4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
      4:12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.

      The results are as follows:

      1. The Gentiles are entrusted the beautiful tunic. 
        Our attitude is that we must minister to God in holiness, faithfulness, and fervency in spirit, so we are used in the revival of Holy Spirit at later rain for the edifying of the perfect body of Christ. Our life becomes more beautiful. The more we are used, the more beautiful our life is.

      2. The tongue licks the crumbs. It means that we can testify about the true teaching word and worship God. So, there is the power of resurrection to cast out Satan. The marriage and the children are healed to become one again and happy until the last escape from the world to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb.

  2. The seal of Holy Spirit.
    Romans 8:11
    8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the deaddwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

    Holy Spirit contains the power of the resurrection of Jesus.

    2 Corinthians 1:21-22
    1:21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,
    1:22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

    The processes are as follows:

    • From God.
      John 16:7
      16:7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

      Jesus must die, rise, and ascend to heaven to seal Holy Spirit on our forehead and heart.

    • From us.

      1. We must believe or have faith to Jesus as the only savior. Then, we must repent and enter the water and Holy Spirit baptism.
      2. We must experience the tearing of the flesh through the worship prayer until it does not speak anymore.

      At the upper rom in Jerusalem, Holy Spirit was poured out only to the house of Israel.
      Acts 10:44-45
      10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.
      10:45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.

      But then, Holy Spirit was poured out to the Gentiles too.

    Romans 15:16
    15:16 that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

    Holy Spirit is able to sanctify the Gentiles who are rotten like the dog and swine to become the sweet smelling aroma before God, namely being honest and obedient. So, there is the presence of God in the midst of us. Being honest and obedient are the same as stretching out the hand to God, so He also stretches out His Holy Spirit hand.

    John 10:27-28
    10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
    10:28 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

    We live in His merciful hand which is as strong as death and cannot be defeated by anything.
    The results are as follows:

    • There is the power of victory to defeat the enemies or the trinity of Satan as the source of all sins up to the peak, so we can live in righteousness and holiness. 
      Satan is the source of hindrance and obstacle. If Satan is defeated, we cannot be hindered to serve and minister to God faithfully and fervently in Spirit until the end line or the time of His second coming.

    • There is the guarantee of life from now to the successful and beautiful future life until the eternal life forever. 
    • The hand of God is able to open the door of heaven for us. It means sanctifying and changing our life to be as perfect as Him, so we are worthy to welcome His second coming.
      Then, all doors in the world are opened. It means that all things are finished in due time. If the hand of Holy Spirit works, all things become easier than turning the palm of the hand.

God blesses you.
