8 THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL Co
The Spirit that rules them is the spirit of Satan. Hence
when individuals choose to follow his laws, his organiza-
tion, his kingship, his doctrines, and recognize his authority
in the place of God, then they are sealed with his spirit and
hence a child of satan. This is the process in both cases.
Thus they receive the Character or mark of Satan, their
father. Christ said ‘their father was the devil.” Of course
they become begotten by him. The works of their father
they will do.” Thus as the test comes and the people choose
they receive one or the other of the seals, or marks, accor-
ding as they choose. So when the final test comes God's
Children are sealed by the Holy Spirit, just as they have
chosen.
We will add that in this final sealing of the Chidren of
Israel, there will be no middle ground work. The Remnant
are to be ‘without fault before the Throne.” They are ‘to
have no guile in their mouth.” Hence no false doctrines of
any kind will be permissable. No connection with any false
organization will be acceptable to God. The final division
will be a clean cutting loose from every work of Satan before
the seal of God can be placed on an individual. Hence No
Seal of God will be placed on individuals as long as they
are willin gly connected with one of Babylons organizations.
No seal will be placed on individuals who will not keep the
commandments of God, the Sabbath included. No seal of
God can be placed on individuals till they are willing to
“follow the lamb wheresoever he goeth.” Christ and Satan
in their work is forever separated. ‘Every plant not planted
by My Heavenly Father must be rooted up.” Oh! How I
wish | might impress the importance of the seal of God in
its true force to every child of God.
Remember the seal of God is not one commandment
but obedinece to them all brings the seal as a result of per-
fect obedience. Oh that the Holy Spirit which places the
final seal might impress every child of God with its impor-
tance. It is that power alone that seals us for redemption. It
is the legal appointed one, The Holy Spirit, When the Beast
and its image passes a law, that all must worship (obey)
the beast and its image, or be killed. All those who yield
to the demands of the governments issuing this decree, as
an instrument in the hands of Satan will then make their
decision as to whom they will serve, and Satan places his
seal upon them who obey him in their (mind) or forehead,
they then render their assistance to his work with their hands
They are sealed by his spirit. They are for destruction in
the lake of fire. Thus the acknowledging of which power
we will serve, brings the seal of that power, just in the
same manner. The use of the seal in this life must be fol-
lowed to its logical conclusion, to understand the seal and
mark of God, and the beast. All will be then plain. The
question now is whom will we serve? That determines the
whole question with the individual which seal they will
have in their foreheads. (Mind.) This now is the last call,
who will heed it?
POSITIONS EXAMINED
In Ezekiel's Prophecies it says “I am the Lord vour
God, Walk in My statutes and keep my Judgments, and
do them, Hallow My Sabbaths and they shall be a sign be-
tween Me and you that ye may know that | am the Lord
your God.” Ezek. 20:19, 20.
It is claimed for this scripture that it teaches the Sab-
bath alone should be a sign that those who keep it might
know that | am the Lord. The connection shows that obe-
dience to all the Statutes, Judgments and the Sabbath con.
stitue the sign. That is, in the keeping of them all they would
know the true God. And further, that the act of keeping
yrould be a sign between them that they did respect the
ord.
The argument is presented thus. The Word, Sign,
token, and seal ar all the same. That may be true in some
cases but not in every case. The word sign applies to a
visible sign as well as to a signature or a stamp and it is
thus used in the above scripture. It is used there as a sign
or proof to the individual that such service of obedience
will bring the desired evidence to them that God has fulfilled
His promises to them. The word, Token means as used in
Ex. 3:12 to mean evidence or proof. Webster says thus in
the ninth definition of Sign ‘A typical representative.” In
the tenth definition of the word Mark, He says “A trait of
Character.” Now we read the scripture, God gave to Abra-
ham the sign of circumcision as a token of the everlasting
covenant. We see in this case the sign or token was a visible
mark in the flesh. Thus it is seen clearly it is our duty to
correctly apply the proper use of the words: Token, Sign
“and Mark as the scriptures indicate in the passage we read.
The word, Seal more directly applies to the setting of the
hand upon the document, or individual which is approved
by the authority of the official appointed to examine the
condition existing in the individual or document. This will
apply to the sealing and placing the name of God in the
foreheads of the Children of God, because they have the
mark of His character as the result of their obedience to
His laws. The same would be true of those who possess
the character of the beast as the result of obedience to its
laws. Thus we see in any case it would not apply to some
single commandment. Another text says, ‘‘seal the law
among my Disciples.” That is done first, by teaching the
whole law. When accepted the Holy Spirit seals it upon the
heart of the believer. When this is done it becomes a sign
between them and God that they are His Children.
THE TWO MARKS
Mark says Webster is character. The one who obeys
‘the beast and his laws and recognizes his organizations
receive the character or (mark) of the beast. The one who
obeys God are not defiled with its women (Church organi-
zations.) They refuse to worship (obey) the beast or its
image. They keep the commandments of God and the
faith of Jesus. Thus they bear the marks of God, the
Character of God. Every true trait of obedience is a mark
of God. The opposite is true of the beast.
THE TWO SEALS
The obedient to God and His organizations and laws
are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. The ones who
obey the beast are sealed with the spirit of satan, their
father.
THE NAME OF GOD
And Moses said unto God ‘Behold when I come unto
the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of
your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to
me, What is his name? what shall | say unto them?
And God said unto Moses, ‘I AM THAT [I AM: and
he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
I AM hath sent me unto you.”
[ Am THAT | Am, the meaning of that statement is:
“There is no God besides me.” | am the God of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob. I am the Lord, Thy God, which brought
the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.” | am the
first and the last.” I Am the beginning and the end.
I AM the Alpha and the Omega. | AM a jealous God.” All
titles are preceeded with the Words “I AM.” The thought
in the name is as the saying of today is “‘l Am it.”” The name
signifies The only one, The God of Gods. The law on stone
is preceeded with the authority of the law maker. Thus [ Am
the Lord Thy God which brought thee out of the land of
Egypt.” Thou shalt have no other Gods before Me” and so
on. Thus I AM is the chief of names applied to God, such
as the Lord, God, Jehovah, Elohim, Father Creator, etc.
In Deuteronomy 16:6 it says ‘at the place where the Lord
thy God shall choose to record His name.” By looking
that up it was the place where the cloud located the ark
in which were the laws of God as written on stone and in
the book, those laws are preceeded by the Statement: “I AM
the Lord thy God which brought thee up out of the Land of
