7th Sealed In - Once Sealed, Always Saved
The Seventh Seal is given in only one short verse in scripture (Rev. 8:1 KJB), following a series of interesting symbolism in the six seals previous to it (Rev. 6:1-7:17 KJB), but that one simple verse has a depth that can only be mined and understood with a prayerful heart in continual communion with God, a simplicity of faith in answer to supplication, and a trust and knowledge of the scriptures that had been written before, and that surround it.
There are many who think that the 7th Seal is opened at the moment of Jesus’ appearing above the atmosphere of the earth in the great clouds of angels in all their glorious brightness, in a moment of time, when all the earth will be in utter shock, and the angelic hosts will have ceased their strain of heavenly chorus and music, each waiting for the word from Jesus to gather to Him all His redeemed saints. Yet, while those events certainly will take place, and soon, is that the event described by the 7th Seal?
What are seals?
What are they sealing?
Who is the one opening them, and when are they opened?
What happens when they are all opened?
When the 7th Seal is finally opened what does it mean that there was “silence in heaven about the space of half an hour”?
This present written material is designed to consider these things from the primary source of information, namely, the holy scriptures (KJB; King James Bible, English, being translated from the HOT (Hebrew Old Testament) and the GNT TR (Greek New Testament Textus Receptus)) and not from any other source, though other materials will give additional confirmation afterwards. The reason for this is found in the texts of Isa. 8:20; 1 Pet. 4:11 KJB.
This labour of love (unto God & mankind) is also designed to appeal to the widest audience as possible, so that all may, “... sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” (1 Pet. 3:15 KJB), placing a long-forgotten gem of glorious truth back into its place of honour.
