Now Is the Sealing Time, December 1
Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed
the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Revelation 7:3
.
Satan is now using every device in this sealing time to keep the minds
of God’s people from the present truth, and to cause them to waver. I saw
a covering that God was drawing over His people to protect them in the
time of trouble; and every soul that was decided on the truth, and was
pure in heart, was to be covered with the covering of the Almighty. Satan
knew this, and he was at work in mighty power to keep the minds of as
many people as he possibly could wavering and unsettled on the truth.... I
saw that Satan was at work ... to distract, deceive, and draw away God’s
people, just now in this sealing time. I saw some who were not standing
stiffly for present truth. Their knees were trembling, and their feet sliding
because they were not firmly planted on the truth....
Satan was trying his every art to hold them where they were, until the
sealing was past, until the covering was drawn over God’s people, and
they left without a shelter from the burning wrath of God, in the seven last
plagues
We are brought out of the darkness of the world into God’s marvelous
light. If we receive the image of God, if our souls are cleansed from every
moral defilement, the seal of God will be placed upon our foreheads, and
we shall be prepared for the closing scenes of this earth’s history. But we
have no time to lose. The more we study the life of Christ with a heart to
learn, the more Christlike we become
The sealing time is very short, and will soon be over. Now is the time,
while the four angels are holding the four winds, to make our calling and
election sure
