DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 7 – The Sealing
We have seen above that in Scripture usage,

sign, seal, token, and mark are synonymous

terms. Now, the Lord expressly says that the

Sabbath is a sign between him and his people.

“Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep; for it is a

sign between me and you throughout your

generations; that ye may know that I am the

Lord that doth sanctify you.” Exodus 31:13.

The same fact is again stated by the prophet

Ezekiel 20:12, 20. Here the Lord told his

people that the very object of their keeping the

Sabbath, that is, observing the fourth

commandment, was that they might know

that he was the true God. This is the same as if

the Lord had said, “The Sabbath is a seal. On

my part it is the seal of my authority, the sign

that I have the right to command obedience;

on your part it is a token that you take me to

be your God.”
