THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

                                             Stephen N. Haskell


                 “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
                                              hand” Revelation 22:10.



               angels of heaven until the servants of God are


               sealed. Men are led to ask, “What is this seal



               placed  upon  the  foreheads  by  which  God


               recognizes His servants?” God’s chosen people


               are always a peculiar people; they are called to


               be a nation of kings, a royal priesthood, who


               show  forth  the  virtues  of  their  Commander.


               Jehovah looks not on the outward appearance,


               but weighs character, and places His seal on


               those  whose  hearts  are  right  toward  Him.


               When  Abraham  was  called  to  become  the


               founder of a nation, God gave to him “the sign


               of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of


               the  faith  which  he  had.”  To  the  seed  of


               Abraham, who live in the time of the end, the


               same  God  gives  a  sign,  or  seal,  of  the


               righteousness  of  the  faith  which  they  have.
