The command is given by the Spirit of God, for men to be sealed with a temporal sealing until the day of redemption. But know this: all who believe are redeemed from the power of death, hell, and sin when they die and go to glory; but that is the redemption of the spirit, and not of the body. It is the redemption of the body a reference to Romans 8:23 that the Apostle told them to look for. These things I have shown to you: how the things spoken of in heaven must have a resemblance here upon earth before the end comes, in order to fulfill the Scriptures and my Gospel. Know what I told you of the Roman Powers—how they would be shaken when the Revelation began to break; which means the truth of the words being fulfilled. And so I tell you and all mankind: the visions John saw in heaven must take place upon earth, which can never be accomplished or fulfilled before the sealing has taken place upon the earth. Therefore, do not marvel in your heart that blasphemy is spoken by man against it, because Satan’s working is strong in man to condemn it.
But now, let him who criticizes answer this: how could all these things that I have mentioned to you—things that are heavenly and spiritual—have a resemblance upon earth in things that are temporal? Why should all these types and shadows types and shadows symbolic precursors or patterns in the physical world representing spiritual truths first take place, if the sealing seen in heaven and spoken of in the Scriptures was never designed to take place upon earth? Let them answer: for what purpose or for what use was it shown to John?
Now look at my Birth in Luke 2: "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: Behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day a Savior which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."
