Our church’s traditional view of the Seal of God and mark of the Beast

The bible says the Holy Spirit is the Seal John 6: 27 "Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal. " 2 Corinthians 1: 21 -22 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. Revelation 7: 3 -4 saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads. " And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

The bible says the Holy Spirit is the Seal Revelation 9: 4 They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. Revelation 14: 1 Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads. Revelation 22: 4 they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. Ephesians 1: 13 -14 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory.

Why are we sealed in the forehead?

The frontal lobes are considered our emotional control center and home to our personality. There is no other part of the brain where lesions can cause such a wide variety of symptoms (Kolb & Wishaw, 1990). The frontal lobes are involved in motor function, problem solving, spontaneity, memory, language, initiation, judgement, impulse control, and social and sexual behaviour. The frontal lobes are extremely vulnerable to injury due to their location at the front of the cranium, proximity to the sphenoid wing and their large size. MRI studies have shown that the frontal area is the most common region of injury following mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (Levin et al. , 1987).

One of the most common effects of frontal damage can be a dramatic change in social behaviour. A person's personality can undergo significant changes after an injury to the frontal lobes, especially when both lobes are involved. There are some differences in the left versus right frontal lobes in this area. Left frontal damage usually manifests as pseudo depression and right frontal damage as pseudo psychopathic (Blumer and Benson, 1975).

Consider the key gifts of the Spirit The gift of wisdom: The ability to make decisions and give guidance that is according to God's will. The gift of knowledge: The ability to have an in-depth understanding of a spiritual issue or situation. The gift of faith: Being able to trust God and encourage others to trust God, no matter the circumstances. The gift of healing: The ability to use God's healing power to restore a person who is sick, injured, or suffering. The gift of miracles: Being able to perform signs and wonders that give authenticity to God's Word and the Gospel message. The gift of prophecy: Being able to proclaim a message from God. The gift of discerning spirits: The ability to determine whether or not a message, person, or event is truly from God. The gift of tongues: The ability to speak in a foreign language that you do not have knowledge of, in order to communicate with someone who speaks that language. The gift of interpreting tongues: The ability to translate the tongues speaking and communicate it back to others in your own language. The gift of administration: Being able to keep things organized and in accordance with God's principles. The gift of help: Always having the desire and ability to help others, to do whatever it takes to get a task accomplished.

The fruit or benefits of the Holy Spirit: Galatians 5: 22 -23 New International Version (NIV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. The blessings from God are enormous and life changing and we are truly enhanced by His healing power.

There is an enormous amount of interest in what people are calling our next stage of evolution, where we combine technology with ourselves; the idea of the connected brain, which Elon Musk of Tesla and Space X calls Neural lace.

Imagine no longer needing to Google for information on your mobile phone but to simply think the question and receive the answer via the tech implanted in your brain. People are serious about exploring this and it is happening already; Elon Musk has created a new company dedicated to exploring this idea, called ‘Neuralink’.

Neuralink, which aims to make implants for the human brain that can wirelessly interface with a computer, the Wall Street Journal reported today. The technology, according to Musk — who brought up the idea at Recode’s Code Conference last year — is a “digital layer” located above the cortex, built into the brain. Musk calls the technology, which would intertwine computers and the human brain, “neural lace. ” Neural lace could help humans keep apace with rapidly accelerating advancements in artificial intelligence, which Musk said will cause humanity to “be left behind by a lot. ” With the help of brain implants that are directly linked to computers, humans may be able to improve their brain function, or even one day download their thoughts or upload the thinking of others. In the more near term, neural lace technology could be used to treat brain diseases like epilepsy or Parkinson’s. Neuralink registered as a “medical research” company in California last summer, with a person named Jared Birchall listed at the president, CEO and CFO of the company.

These aren’t the only mad men in the world!

The best choice: In the end we all have a choice; we can worship the true God in Spirit and in truth. He stands at the door of your heart or mind and knocks; he does not force His way in but if we invite Him in it will be a life changing and eternal experience. We will literally become more like Him on a daily basis. He seals us and treats us as though we are already perfect; amazing!

Most sadly make the wrong choice: By choosing to worship the false image of self, with our own desires and our own moral standard that dumbs everything down until we feel comfortable. We have all kinds of tech and human ingenuity to help us on our way and just as long as everything appears to be going well, who needs God anyway? The more people rely on technology, the less they will feel the need to reform their character and have anything to do with God.

A final Word from Proverbs 14: 12 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

Journey into the morn By Iona Out of the night, into the morn Drawing us gently through the eye of the storm Out of the sorrow into the joy Where we’ll dwell in the highlands with him evermore. Sealed by a promise we are called to become. . those who endure to this race is won And leaving the past, heading for more. . than our hearts can imagine, the final reward.
