Seal of God vs Mark of the Beast | Bible Q&A
Season 4
Episode 28
Published 1 month ago
Description
What is the difference between the seal of God and the mark of the beast? Matt and Raven read Revelation 7:1-8 (KJV), Ezekiel 9 and Revelation 13.
Straight Bible Q&A, hosted by Matt Hepner and Raven.
Matt and Raven take viewer questions, led by the seal of God and the mark of the beast. Revelation 7:1-8: four angels "holding the four winds of the earth," an angel "having the seal of the living God," and 144,000 sealed. Ezekiel 9: "a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations." Revelation 13:11-18: the mark "in their right hand, or in their foreheads." Their take: you are marked for God or against Him, God marks His people before destruction, and the Holy Spirit gives the discernment.
Also: annotating your Bible, lights "for signs, and for seasons" (Genesis 1:14), the tribulation, Pharaoh's heart, head coverings (1 Corinthians 11:5-16), praying to Mary and the wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11), the tribe of Dan (Judges 2:20-23), principalities over the nations (Deuteronomy 32:8; Ephesians 6:12), addiction, "Christian communism," David's wives, and Solomon and demons.
