The Reformation was to gradually progress back to the truth until it reached the development of a sinfree body of Christians call the 144,000. (Dan. 11. 31-35; Rev. 14:1,4).
This 144,000 was to be sealed just before the destruction of the world. Rev. 7:1-4.
A seal is a symbol of a name. 1 Kn. 21:8.
A sign is a seal. Rom. 4:11.
Since the Sabbath is a sign of YHWH’S name, the Sabbath is the seal of God. (Ex. 31:13; Eze. 20:12,20).
In the Sabbath commandment God’s name is repeated three times, thus the Sabbath is the seal of God. Ex. 20:8-11.
God’s name is YHWH. Ex. 3:15,18; Ex. 6:3,6,7; Isa. 42:8.
Spiritually speaking, the heart is to be sealed. Songs of Solomon. 8:6.
Since the Sabbath is the seal of God that has His name YHWH in it, the name of God in the foreheads (hearts) of the 144,000 means that they are sealed with the use of the Sabbath. Rev. 14:1.
The Spirit of God seals us from conversion until the very day of redemption. Eph. 4:30.
We are given the Spirit of God into the heart when we are justified. (Gal. 3:7-9,14; Gal. 4:6).
Justification is the gift of Righteousness into us, and since Justification gives us the Spirit, then we get the Righteousness of God within us when we get the spirit. (Rom. 3:22; Rom. 8:10).
When we are justified we are made to keep the law of God. Rom. 3:28,30,31.
The sealing of the Spirit, is thus to seal the law of God in God’s people. Isa. 8:16.
The Sabbath teaches and gives the experience of sin-free-ness, keeping the Sabbath is being in the experience of sin-free-ness or it is not sinning, this is keeping the whole law and not offending in one point, thus to seal (settle) people in the law of God, is to seal (settle) them in Sabbath keeping (of sin-less-ness) or to seal them with the use of the Sabbath. (Isa. 58:13,14; Isa. 56:2; Jam. 2:8-12).
The Sabbath experience is the experience of Righteousness. (Isa. 56:1,2); this means:
a. Keeping the Righteousness of God in the heart. (Rom. 3:22; Isa. 51:1; Jer. 23:5,6).
b. Keeping the works righteousness of the law. (Ps. 119:172; Rom. 2:26; Rom. 8:4).
Thus those who are sealed with the Sabbath are sealed in Righteousness, thus are sinfree. 1 Cor. 15:34.
The sealing is a confirmation that YHWH God is true (as seen by Faith) in the minds of those who are sealed. Jn. 3:33.
The seal of YHWH shows that YHWH knows those people who belong to Him; they are they that named YHWH Christ by departing from all sin. 2 Tim. 2:19.
We are to love YHWY with all our soul, mind, heart and strength, and those who truly keep the Sabbath in which is God’s name, loves God’s name. (Deut. 6:4-6; Isa. 56:6).
Thus the Reformation way back to the Sabbath which causes sin-free-ness, was meant to cause the creation of the 144,000 who keep the whole law and is thus sinless. (Isa. 58:12-14; Jam. 2:8-12; Rev. 14:1-5).
The 144,000 are the first fruits or prime specimens of all the saved in all history, who keep the law and faith of Jesus Christ. Rev. 14:1-4,12.
