Dear God, please fill every heart with your peace and the hope you have given us through your son--our Savior--Jesus Christ. I pray that you will lift the spirits of every person praying this prayer; that they will experience your joy and feel the warmth of your presence. Father, thank you for the gift of salvation through Jesus and the comfort of the Holy Spirit you sent to seal and guide us. Thank you for your Word, the Word who is the true Light..."And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth" (John 1:1-14). Thank you for who you are and all you do. Merry Christmas, Father. I love you. Amen.

Phil,
Revelation 9:4
They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do NOT have the Seal of God on their foreheads.
The seal of God is therefore the way that God identifies and protects those that belong to Him. Another way is by writing their names in the "Book of Life." If their names are not in the "Book of Life," they are lost.
Some Christians seem to think that this is a literal mark. Just like they think that the mark of the beast is a literal mark because the word "MARK" in Revelation means 'a mark'. Well, in Revelation 17 John also sees a woman riding a beast and on her forehead was the name 'Mystery Babylon the Great' ... 'And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.' ... Now I'm sure no one doubts that this isn't an actual prostitute woman riding around the earth on a beast, with that name tattooed on her forehead. Also, in Revelation 13, we find two beasts causing the earth to worship them. Now the meaning of these words "beasts" are literal beasts. So are we to believe that there will be literal beasts roaming the earth causing the people of the world to worship them? No, I don't think so. Revelation is full of prophetic symbols and this woman and these beasts are just some of them. The name on her forehead is also symbolic, the same as the name of God on the servants foreheads. So we are dealing with a 'spiritual' seal or mark.
So at the end, just before the second coming of Christ Jesus, we will have two groups of people. The one group who yield their minds to the beast and receive the mark of the beast, and the other group who yield their minds to God and will have the seal of God.
hope that answers your question
