But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.(Matthew 24:13-14 KJV)

Previously, we found that, the Son of Man’s “Gospel of the Kingdom,” unlike Paul’s gospel, is a message about the Greater Second Exodus that is meant for “the Remnant of Israel” which will endure to “the end the age” by gathering to the Old City of Jerusalem during the Great Tribulation so that they will be alive to greet the Messiah at His return. 

And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Elohim: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our Elohim in their foreheads. And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: (Revelation 7: 2-4 KJVm)

 

We also found that “the Remnant” are predicted to be sealed in their foreheads with “the seal of Elohim” which is designed to further protect them from the effects of the judgment plagues that are going to affect the rest of mankind and the entire planet. 

And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, says יהוה Adonay.And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am יהוה. (Ezekiel 20: 34-38 KJVm)

 

 

 

We further determined that “the Remnant” will not be the only ones in the Old City during the Great Tribulation.  And that everyone that will be in the this Place of Refuge at that time, are going to undergo a refinement process which is design to purge rebellious individuals from the Old City. 

 

 

“The Remnant” are those that remain after the purge.And it is after this purge, that “the Remnant” receive the Seal of Elohim in their foreheads just prior to the outpouring of the judgment plagues.

Finding more details about “the seal of Elohim” will be the focus of this article.

 

WHAT IS A SEAL?

 

Today, millions of paper documents are created daily. And each document is usually concludes with a name and signature so that the one receiving the letter would recognize the individual initiating the document.

In the past, kings would attach wax seals to their documents.  Once created, a few drops of wax would be applied to a document, after which the king would imprint his ring into the wax. This impression in the wax seal was recognized as the king’s name and signature and authenticated that the document was approved by the king.

 

THE KING’S NAME AND SEAL

 

Write for the Jews, as you like, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse. (Ester 8: 8 KJV)

 

Notice in the book of Ester, that we have an example of the use of a king’s name and seal.

Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our Elohim in their foreheads. (Revelation 7: 3 KJVm)

 

Likewise, the “sealing” of “the Remnant” is going to have similar qualities to our example concerning the wax seal. 

Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads. (Revelation 14:1 NASB)

 

In other words, the seal that will be on the foreheads of “the Remnant” is our King’s name and signature and will authenticate that Elohim approves of them.

 

But there is a twist.  The name that will be sealed into the foreheads of “the Remnant” will not be יהוה .

He that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my Elohim, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my Elohim, and the name of the city of my Elohim, which is New Jerusalem, which will come down out of heaven from my Elohim: and I will write upon him my new name. (Revelation 3:12 KJVm)

 

According to John, יהוה is going to have a new name and it is this new name which will seal “the Remnant.”

 

WHOEVER CALLS UPON THE NAME OF יהוה

 

Many are mistakenly led to believe that every believer that calls upon the name of יהוה is going to be delivered.  It does not.

 

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of יהוה shall be delivered: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as יהוה hath said, and in the remnant whom יהוה shall call. (Joel 2:32 KJVm)

Notice that (Joel 2:32) is addressed to “the Remnant” which are those that will be in Jerusalem and will be “sealed” with יהוה new name and not all believers.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives it. (Revelation 2:17 KJVm)

 

 

Only “the Remnant” will know יהוה new name.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of יהוה shall be delivered: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as יהוה hath said, and in the remnant whom יהוה shall call. (Joel 2:32 KJVm)

 

It is “the Remnant” that will call on the YHVH’s new name.  And it is “the Remnant” which will be delivered because they will be the only ones with “the seal of Elohim” in their foreheads.
