1SG Rev. 7:1-3. In the last days God will send a special message to all the world that will place the seal of God on the foreheads of His servants.

2SG 1 Kings 21:8. Every nation in the world has its seal. The seal of any nation is the sign of its authority. The seal of God is the sign of the authority of Jehovah, the only true God and supreme ruler of all.

3SG Ps 121:2. The Lord Jehovah is identified as the only true God and ruler of all by the fact that He is the Creator of all.

4SG Ps. 96:5. We know that the God of heaven is the only true God because He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. He alone has creative power while none of the so-called gods of the heathen have any creative power.

5SG Jer 10:10-12. Those false gods are the gods that have not made the heaven and the earth, while the true and living God is manifest and established forever as the One who made heaven and earth. Acts 14:15; Jonah 1:9. Since the authority of Jehovah as the only true God and ruler of all is based on His creatorship, the seal of God must be the sign of God as Creator.

6SG Ex. 31:16,17. God has appointed the seventh-day Sabbath to stand as the sign of His creative power in making the world in six ordinary twenty-four hour days; therefore the seventh-day Sabbath is the sign of God as the Creator.

7SG Ex. 31:13. Since it takes the same divine power to save a man from sin as it did to create him in the beginning, the seventh-day Sabbath, the sign of the Lord Christ as Creator of the world in six days also becomes the sign of the Lord Christ as man's only Saviour from sin and as his Sanctifier. Since the seventh-day Sabbath is the sign of God as the Creator and only true God, and the sign of the Lord Christ as the only Saviour and Sanctifier, the Sabbath then must be the seal of the living God.

8SG Ex. 20:11. On a notary's seal you will find three things: his name, his title as notary, and the territory where he is empowered to take acknowledgments. The fourth commandment is the only one of the Ten Commandments which contains these three things in reference to God. In the Sabbath commandment we find: (1) God's name--"Lord"; (2) His distinguishing title as the only true God--the "Lord" that made the heaven and the earth, the Creator; (3) the territory over which He rules--the heaven and the earth.

9SG Eze. 20:12. God gave the Sabbath to be His sign as the only true God and Sanctifier, so it must be the seal of the living God. The keeping of the seventh day, instead of being opposed to God's saving grace, is actually a sign of His saving grace and sanctifying power.

10SG Eze. 20:20. The Sabbath becomes God's sign or seal upon you only as you actually hallow it in your life from week to week. The seal is placed on the forehead. The forehead represents the mind. When you remember the Sabbath to keep it holy (Ex 20:8), that will put God's sign or seal on our forehead. By keeping the seventh-day Sabbath we show that we worship the true God, who made the world in six days, and that we accept the power of that same Lord Christ to save us from sin and sanctify us to His service.

11SG Rev. 14:1. The Father's name is His character. Ex 34:5-7. Those who receive the seal of God on the forehead will be those who surrendered all to do God's will, so that their heart and mind will be brought into conformity to the character of God.

12SG Eze. 9:1-6. When the last plague came on Egypt--the death of the first-born--the only ones who were saved from that plague were those who had the mark of blood on the doors of their houses; so the only ones who will be protected from the seven last plagues will be those who have the seal of God on their foreheads.
