WHAT IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST?

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption Ephesians 4:30.


As the close of the house of God's probation approaches (1Peter 4:17), heirs remain faithful and alert, reassuring their seat at the throne of God (Revelation 3:21). Today's sealing message manifests God's Divine, Infinite and Perfect Power (Romans 1:20). Eternally filled with good news, God's sealing message warrants that all chosen individuals must manifest the Character of Christ, overcoming the propensity of sin (Matthew 5:48, 1John 3:9). Sin is noncompliance with the Ten Commandments (1John 3:4). Such an allegiance to Divine truth, will be the focus for those who dare to be like the Prophet Daniel and the Three Hebrews, standing for Christ, our Faithful True Witness. The ongoing work towards Sealing requires fixed, unchangeable, absolute sanctification, which comes from Christ alone. Being justified by faith, we must continue in obedience, building the Character of God (Exodus 20). Mirroring the image of the Messiah, we must have Him formed fully in us, being found blameless and faultless (Galatians 4:19, Colossians 1:27, 1Thessalonians 5:23, Jude 1:24-25). We must emphasize to both believers and non-believers the need to evacuate Babylon, before the world's probation closure (Revelation 18:1-4, Revelation 22:11). Teaching the three angel's messages to ..."every nation kindred tongue and people" is essential (Revelation 14:6-12).


The brotherly, loving church of Philadelphia is true Adventism, a spotless Bride, awaiting the Perfect Bridegroom, Christ Jesus (Revelation 3:7-13). As we prepare for the Latter Rain (Joel 2:23, Zechariah 10:1, James 5:7), embracing the return of Christ, true sincere believers must focus on becoming harvest ripe, perfecting Christ-like characters. Harvest ripe by biblical definition entails a process of establishing ..."first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear"(Mark 4:26-29). "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19).


The precious message of Justification by Faith presented at the General Conference in Minneapolis in 1888 set forth the beginning of the THE LOUD CRY OF THE THIRD ANGEL and the Latter Rain; the Holy Spirit's outpouring (Hosea 6:3; Joel 2:23; Zechariah 10:1; James 5:7; Romans 5:1; Review & Herald, Sept. 3rd, 1889; Nov. 22nd, 1892; Testimonies to Ministers page 91,92). Thus we understand that exactly forty-four years following Christ's entrance into the Most Holy Place (Oct 22, 1844), at the end of the 2300 year prophecy, we were sent a POWERFUL message from God. Undoubtedly, we are in the anti-typical day of atonement: Christ is our Passover Lamb (1Corinthians 5:7). Such a message, represented at a Camp Meeting in Rome, New York, is a message of God, bearing divine credentials " for its fruit is unto holiness" Review and Herald Sept 3, 1889, 1 Selected Messages 359.1). To Sanctify means to make Holy, thus God expects nothing less than our advancement in holiness, through the Righteousness of Christ (Philippians 3:9).

The Review and Herald (September 3,1889) described God's Justification by Faith Message, as WATER, quenching the thirst of those who eagerly sought the Messiah's provisions, highlighting the fact that "the righteousness of Christ is imputed to us, not because of any merit on our part, but as a free gift from God...". Such a blessing to know that our (Food) Manna, the Word of God, is sure, as we, God's children are promised coriander seed, honey wafers (Exodus 16:31, John 6:58, Rev 2:17). Thus, we being fed the Heavenly MANNA must develop a genuine hatred or abhorrence for sin (Review and Herald March 18, 1890).


The entire world will be taught about the precious message of Righteousness by faith: every nation, kindred, tongue and people will know of the eternal power of the Everlasting Gospel, LESSONS ON FAITH (Romans 1:16,17; Ephesians 2:8-10, Philippians 3:9-11; Revelation 14:6-7). God, in all fairness, will allow this precious message to reach all, even those who are in distant societies, not well known to mankind (Isaiah 45:21). The continents of: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Australia and Antarctica will be exposed to this precious light, as the Messiah wishes that none were lost (John 3:16,17). God’s work will not return to Him void, as He promises that there will be a remnant, manifesting His character and fruits (Exodus 20, Isaiah 55:11; Matthew 5:48. Galatians 5:22-23; Revelation 14:1-5). Let us be found blameless and faultless, guile-free, manifesting unstained, mark-free garments for our Savior who overcame the world for all mankind (John 16:33, 1Thessalonians 5:23, Jude 1:24,25; Revelation 14:1-5). Be encouraged saints, as we advance in Sanctification, looking unto Glorification, when our Savior shall return, crowned King of Kings and Lord of Lords, promising Overcomers a seat at His throne (2Peter 3:12-14, Revelation 3:21, 19:11).


We must focus on strengthening the true church of Christ, those that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ, adhering to the law and the testimony. The focus on the light of Truth, a non-negotiable objective, will be kept solely by true Christians, obedient and faithful; God's peculiar people (Isaiah 8:20, Titus 2:14, 1Peter 2:9, Revelation 14:12). An uncompromising, unchangeable, immutable faith in the Messiah, our Redeemer, is thus required. God wants his chosen to daily grow in sanctification, developing in the Character of God. Finding love and reassurance in the Messiah by grace through faith, God's remnant can become firmly rooted in Truth; receptive of the Seal of God (John 15:1-7, Ephesians 2:8, Ephesians 4:30). With guile-free mouths and blemish-free garments, those chosen, successfully withstanding the trials and tribulations without the aid of an intercessor, will be rewarded as God's precious gems, 144,000 in number (Revelation 7:1-4).
