CHAPTER 7
VOLUME 1, HANDBOOK OF GOD THE FATHER

GENERAL INFORMATION: THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD

Reference: Holy Bible, The Seal of the Living God: Book of Revelation, Chapter 7, Verses 2-3: “Then I saw another angel ascend from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads.”

Sacred Seal Questions and Answers (FAQ):

First question: What is the Seal of the Living God and its purpose?

Answer: The Seal of the Living God is the mark of identification that Almighty God has eternal ownership over your soul.  The sign of identification is an everlasting luminous cross engraved on your forehead.  The sacred Seal guarantees your eternal safety.  No matter what may happen by way of divine chastisements and punishments on earth, your everlasting inheritance of the beatific vision is secured in Heaven as a beloved child of Almighty God.

The beatific vision is the ultimate purpose and intended goal of earthly life for each person.  It is the ultimate joy and happiness derived from seeing God face-to-face finally in Heaven and not imperfectly through faith on earth.

The Seal of the Living God certifies that your relationship with God is real.  That you are truly the dearest friend of Papa God, as He truly loves you similarly to His only begotten Divine Son, Jesus Christ.  Jesus is the Eternal Savior and Divine Advocate for the entire human race as His Sacrificial Life, Sorrowful Passion, and Sacred Death serves as the Eternal Ransom so every person has the opportunity to choose eternal life with Papa God, instead of perishing in eternal death, torment, and suffering in everlasting hell.

Second question: Is the Seal of the Living God the same as the Seal of Baptism?

Answer: No.  Many people mistake this sacred Seal for the seal we receive at Baptism and therefore walk away and ignore this divine gift given to us for this present time.  The Sacrament of Baptism “seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mark (character) of his belonging to Christ” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1272).  In other words, it is by Baptism that a person becomes part of God’s family.

In contrast, the Seal of the Living God is the Seal of Protection for the End Times.  The End Times is the period of days when satan is at the height of his demonic power reigning over mankind on earth.  The sacred Seal is your lifeline, your means of survival in the coming persecution and domination of the antichrist during the Great Tribulation of the Apocalypse.  Just as the ancient Israelites marked their houses with the blood of the paschal lamb and were spared by the Angel of Divine Justice, so it will be in these end days for those who will have honored this sacred Seal.  (See Holy Bible: Book of Exodus)  This sacred Seal is your protection during the period in the lead up to the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

In this Handbook are three prayer methods for receiving the Seal of the Living God.  The prayer for the sacred Seal should be said daily, as it is your profession of love and loyalty to God in this End Times.  It is also an act of obedience for God’s Truth and the Ten Commandments, which will impart graces to you so that you may defend the Word of God to others.  Daily recitation is what makes this sacred Seal efficacious and what seals your heart and soul to the loving Divine Heart of God the Father.

Third question: Can people pray so that others, like their loved ones, can receive the Seal of the Living God on their foreheads?  So that the members of their families, their friends, and other beloved ones, will be divinely protected during the coming divine chastisements and punishments?

Answer: The Seal of the Living God is a very special gift from God.  It can only be received directly by each person, on an individual basis, from Almighty God.  You cannot pray that others receive, unknowingly and unwillingly, the Seal of the Living God.  A person must pray, in full knowledge and in full belief, with complete freedom of choice, acting in their conscious volition (free will), to receive the Seal of the Living God from Almighty God.  This is why God has indicated in prior heavenly messages that most people will not receive the Seal of the Living God until AFTER the Great Warning (Illumination of Conscience) has happened to humanity.  To receive the Seal of the Living God, people need to be fully converted and firm believers in God, but they also need to be firm believers in God’s Word, including His prophetic messages in these End Times.  They also need to be striving to keep themselves in a state of grace (no unconfessed mortal sin) before God.  (See the Appendix in Volume 3 for more information about the Divine Law: mortal sin and various methods to stay in a state of grace).

Many people have already received the Seal of the Living God, because they have prayed with the requisite trust and faith the holy prayers from God.  Regarding those who refuse to pray for the sacred Seal now… God will direct the holy angels to ensure that the Seal of the Living God is engraved on the foreheads of the rest of God’s beloved people — those who will finally make a conscious decision to receive the sacred Seal — in the aftermath of the Great Warning.

It will be the Seal of the Living God which people of goodwill will begin to see on others’ foreheads as they are traveling to the holy refuges.  People of goodwill will be able to see the Seal of the Living God on all the saved souls, so they will instantly know which people they can trust to help them, and they will know the bad people that they need to avoid interacting with.  The Seal of the Living God will also be visible on the foreheads of all the saved souls throughout the Great Tribulation and the various chastisements of the Apocalypse.

Encouragement: People should continue to pray that their family members and loved ones will be fully converted to God, with the requisite trust in God to believe in His Word, including His prophetic messages and instructions for the End Times.  In particular, people should pray that their families and loved ones will become open and receptive to receiving the Seal of the Living God in the future, when they are presented the opportunity to do so by Almighty God.  People should pray in hope for this intention to be honored in advance by God.  By daily prayer and through God’s Mercy, a shield of protection is extended to our loved ones and especially to those we introduce to this sacred Seal.

Additional Information About Receiving the Sacred Seal: The following two chapters, parts one and two, present three different methods that people may pray to receive the Seal of the Living God.  The first method was provided by God the Father to 7th messenger, Maria Divine Mercy, in the Book of Truth.  The second method was provided by Saint Michael Archangel and God the Father to Latin-American mystic, Lorena Portillo.  The third method was provided by Mary, Our Lady of Emmitsburg, to visionary, Gianna Talone-Sullivan.

All three methods given by Heaven in this Handbook are legitimate and valid for receiving the Seal of the Living God.  You can choose any prayer to recite for this great gift and you should strive to say this prayer as often as possible, perhaps daily.  You may also choose to say all three prayers to God which is very meritorious in graces.  The fullness of graces are bestowed upon those who keep themselves in a state of grace (no mortal sin).  (Please see the Divine Law for more information about sin and staying in a state of grace under the Appendix in Volume 3.)

Final Note: There may be other methods given by God to other prophetic messengers that I may not be aware of.  Heaven may also provide other ways of receiving this sacred Seal beyond what is written in this Handbook.  Do not be concerned about others who may not be aware of these methods, because Heaven will protect the souls of the just, goodwilled, and holy people who have chosen God during the Great Tribulation.

(August 13, 2014, Prophet John Leary) JESUS CHRIST: “My people, I have given you this vision of how My angels have placed a cross on the foreheads of all of My faithful. You cannot see this cross now, but it will be visible on your foreheads during the tribulation. It will be this cross that will allow you into My refuges. My angels will not allow anyone without a cross to enter My refuges. More souls, who will be converted at the Warning, will be marked with crosses later. The evil ones will not see your cross, but other faithful people will see your cross. This will be how you can tell a faithful person from an evil person in the tribulation. This ‘T’ (tau in Greek) sign is mentioned in today’s first reading from Ezekiel (9:1-24) where an angel marked the faithful with a T on their foreheads. This protected them from the destroying angel. This is similar in the old Exodus when the Hebrews put lamb’s blood on their doorposts and lintels so the destroying angel would pass over their houses. Now, you have a modern day Exodus where the cross on your foreheads was purchased by My Blood in My sacrifice on the cross. In your research, you noticed the ‘T’ (tau) symbol was promoted by St. Francis of Assisi, so all Franciscans wear this symbol of My cross. This cross on your foreheads today, will be your means of protection when you come to My places of refuge in the tribulation. My angels will place a shield of invisibility over My faithful on their way to My refuges.”
