DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith
~The Response of History to the Revelation~
Chapter 7 – The Sealing
has declared who he is, the extent of his
dominion, and his right to rule; for every
created intelligence must at once assent that
He who is the Creator of all, has a right to
demand obedience from all his creatures.
Thus with the fourth commandment in its
place, this wonderful document, the
decalogue, the only document among men
which God ever wrote with his own finger, has
a signature; it has that which renders it
intelligible and authentic; it has a seal. But
without the fourth commandment, it lacks all
these things.
From the foregoing reasoning, it is evident
that the fourth commandment constitutes the
seal of the law of God, or the seal of God. But
the Scriptures do not leave us without direct
testimony on this point.
