By this message, we call on all the christians to focus on the real Seal Of God, which is the Mark or Sign of God. This is the sign (Identification) that confirms our citizenship in the Kingdom of God (Philippians 3:20-21) and that protects us from the angel of death and satanic powers of this world (Exodus 12:21-25;Revelation 9:4).
The world is now in the phase of minor judgements just as it was in Egypt (Exodus 12:21-25).
