Note: The following is fast becoming not only my belief, but many other Christians around the world.  For a quick online understanding go to www.reg6.com (excellent complete explanation)

As most Christians today believe, we are indeed living in the last days. In Revelation it says that the time will come when God will destroy those who destroy the earth. Now, mankind has the weapons to utterly destroy the earth. For centuries this could not be said but today it is a reality. There so many other signs we live in the “last days”. The Bible’s last book (Revelation) shows what will be the last final battle between those who choose God and those who choose the anti-Christ.

 WORSHIP is at the heart of this battle. It will be against those “loyal” to God and worship Him in accordance to His word and will, and those who rebel against Him, by disobedience to  His word and will. These two groups are brought to the forefront of the earth’s  last great conflict. God’s people will have the “seal” of God in their foreheads and the lost will have the mark of the beast, either on their hands or their foreheads. I will explain latter on what the different marks represent. Therefore it is of extreme importance to know exactly what the “seal” of God is. Let’s look at this.

In (Rev.7:2,3) God gives the Revelation sealing angels the following instruction “Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried out with a loud voice to the other four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying “Do not harm the earth and the sea, or the trees till we have SEALED the servants of our God in their foreheads” This passage tells us 3 important facts. First, God holds back his final judgements untill the sealing process is complete. Second, God’s servants, those who remain loyal, obedient,  and faithful to Him, are the ones sealed. Third, the seal of God is placed in their forehead, a symbol of the mind. Scripture tells us, along with angels, who “seals” for God. In (Eph 4:30) it says “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, BY WHOM you were sealed for the day of redemption” The seal cannot be seen by man, only God can see it. It represents our loyalty and obedience to Jesus and  God, the Father. Today as well as ancient times, a legal seal authenticates a docoument and/or ownership. Seals identify who the document belongs to and whose authority stands behind it.   Seals contain three major elements: The name, title, and territory of the one placing the offical seal . God’s Sabbath is the  Commandment that contains all three, His name “The Lord your God” , His title: Creator “for in six days the Lord made”, and His territory , “the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them: (Exodus 20:8-11) The 4th Commandment has all three requirements of  a seal.

 I don’t think  it is any coincidence why God says “Remember” in the beginning of the 4th commandment. He KNEW we’d forget!   Let us remember in these last days the ONE commandment that has been “forgotten”.In (Eze 20:12) we find God gave an eternal sign of worship that sets His people apart “Morever I also gave them (His true people) My Sabbaths, to be a SIGN between them and Me, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them”  The seventh day Sabbath is God’s eternal sign of “last days” loyalty. The mark of the beast will show disloyalty. If someone has heard about the holy Sabbath and clearly “knows” about it as being a commandment of God, and disobeys it, he will get a mark on his forehead. If someone does not clearly know about the seventh day Sabbath but nevertheless goes along with the world and breaks the Sabbath and  agrees with the prevailing “false” system worship, he’ll get the mark on his hands.

The anti-Christ system is already in place  (and has been for centuries in the substitution of “sunday worship” for the real Sabbath) and the great IMPOSTER  will arrive very soon (backed by the full power of Satan)full of tremendous charm and appeal and will declare a false system of worship. But the system will “look and feel” great ( and Holy!) but will require the breaking of the Sabbath to go along with it. Rest assured the seventh day Sabbath will NOT be the declared DAY of worship and rest by the IMPOSTER.  It will then be time to stand for God or for the extremely enticing false system of worship. After all the bible clearly says wonders and miracles will abound that will deceive many.

Notice we see God’s FINAL appeal before the judgements come and what He says to do  in (Rev.14:7) “Saying with a loud voice,  ‘Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgement has come;and WORSHIP  Him who made heaven and earth, the sea, and springs of water”.   In the last days Satan will clearly be out to get the people who “keep” the commandments of God and  have the testimony of Jesus(Rev.12:17) The Commandment keepers(including the Sabbath) will be looked upon as  “outlaws” and will not be able to buy or sell and suffer other punishments for not going along with the WORLD WIDE and well loved anti-Christ and his system of worship .No doubt VERY similar to a “true” system of worship but with a subtle errors(against God’s word). Even MANY  “Christians” will be “fooled” by the anti-Christ .  Satan will insure that the false system of worship helps “break” God’s commandments, particularly the Sabbath, thereby showing loyalty to HIM. The  Sabbath obserbance will be seen by the IMPOSTER anti Christ and his “loving” system of worship,as clearly the wrong thing to do and a defiant act. 

So stand firm for God. For the future things mentioned in Revelation are soon to come upon us.(Rev.14:12) “For here is the perseverance of the saints, who KEEP the commandments of God, and their faith in Jesus”.  Keep the testimony of Jesus, and keep God’s commandments, and this will perserve you to the end. Peace and understanding to all in Christ, Amen.
