The bible mentions the word seal, many times and in various forms. A quick search of King James version revealed the following: 36 times sealed was used, sealeth was used once, and seals used 5 times. This is quite a mystery, as most of the seals appear in the book of Revelation. To help you understand let’s stop and think about what seal could represent, something being closed (a door), the joining of 2 parts (a jacket being zipped), or even to prevent something from coming in-between (interlaced fingers). Now with this in mind let’s remember that the seal can go both ways. You can seal something and in a split second or even while in motion, you can remove the seal. Now let’s focus on one of the seals to get a better understanding of what is happening.
The book of Revelation talks about many seals that are being opened. The one that we will focus on is the 3rd seal, as it is written,
“When he opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, ‘Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on hm had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in them midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”
I speak of this seal because this is where we are now. As the bride draws closer to Christ, more things are revealed (hence the book name Revelation). As the bride steps back and looks at the whole picture, she realizes what must take place to bring about the renewal of all things. Some things must die, some systems must be strained, many must starve. Greedy people who feel entitled or even privileged, yet don’t know Christ, must be corrected. As it is written, in the book of Matthew 25:29, “For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.” In case you are not sure of the main idea, what is being said is, anyone who does not have a relationship with Christ and does not possess the Holy Spirit, will go through famine (great loss) and those who have, will receive an abundance (yours + more).
Now looking back on the first verse of the 3rd seal, let’s connect the story. So, the bride who is covered by the Holy Spirits presence, received a new revelation. The system is flawed, the church is suffering because of it, and many possess things that do not belong to them. The seal (her mind) is now opened (another cover removed). So, she puts out an assignment, better yet a decree, for the 3rd living creature to execute. She makes sure to remind the living creature (beast) not to harm the oil and wine (the church).
Hindsight shows us that the 3rd seal has been opened. This is why we see a major imbalance. People can barely afford to eat, and jobs can barely pay. Although many will suffer, Gods children are protected, they are sealed (the interlaced) on their foreheads (the mind of God). In perfect alignment to know all, possess insight and foresight of our time and day!
The Day of the Lord has come to God be the Glory! Put on The Seal!
