Time Of Sealing Soon Over (Summary) Who Receives The Seal of God
Jesus is working earnestly to return the earth to the previously created condition like the Garden of Eden, and to save as many people as possible to live with Him forever in the Kingdom of God.
It is called the Plan Of Salvation. This plan has a start date and an end date.
Start Time - The plan started when Adam and Eve rebelled in the garden of Eden as described in Genesis 2, the first book of the bible. Jesus offered Himself as an offering that humans can accept.
Not infrequently the minds of the people, and even of God's servants, are so blinded by human opinions, the traditions and false teachings of men, that they are able only partially to grasp the great things which He has revealed in His word. Thus it was with the disciples of Christ, even when the Savior was with them in person. Their minds had become imbued with the popular conception of the Messiah as a temporal prince, who was to exalt Israel to the throne of the universal empire, and they could not understand the meaning of His words foretelling His suffering and death.... pp 15-16 Maranantha The Lord Is Coming, by Ellen White, Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1976 Quick Bible Studies
End Date - The end time or date will be when Jesus will say, "It is done." as described Revelation 16:17, in the last book of the bible.
After the time after Jesus declares "It Is Finished", it will NOT be possible for humans to accept the plan of salvation. Everyone living at the time when the plan is finished and those who have died over the ages had times to accept God's offer of eternal life. Unfortunately, many many scoffed and laughed and put off consideration of this offer of eternal life with living busy lives that crowded out the mind into thinking that there would be other times and more convenient opportunities. Later! Later! I'm too busy to think about eternal issues now. I'm not sure how to think about it right now. Day by day, hour by hour time slipped away. Day-to-day issues crowd out eternal decisions until time runs out.
Don't Let Time Run Out! Accept Jesus' Offer of Eternal Life! Start by saying out loud a prayer like, "Jesus, I need you in my life. I cannot get ready for the future. I don't know what is going to happen. You know the future. You knew me before I was born. I dedicate my life to You. I ask that you write my name in the Lamb's Book of Life. I ask that you forgive my sins, and I accept Your offer to cover my sins that are written in the Book of Iniquity - the record of my sins. By Your power, help me to live the way You would wish me to live. I can not do this on my own. Please remember and record my family and friends also. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
● Human nature is bent on lying, stealing, hatred, jealousy, envy, faultfinding, and all other human tendencies.
Because of these traits, man is easily offended.
Every little thing that crosses his pathway causes him to sulk, to be irritable and offensive. The old nature is what we need to fight most in our endeavor to build up Christian character. How wonderful it would be if we could always remember that Christ is mightier than all the evil instincts that might arise within us, for "greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him]
and have
[already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist],
because He Who lives in you
is greater (mightier) than
he who is in the world. 1
John 4:4 Amplified Bible
Against the heavenly armor, principalities and powers, yes devils and men, have no dominion. Why, oh, why, then, are we conquered so often?
Why offended so easily?
There is a way of escape, and that way can be found. Our devotional text gives the secret of how we may keep from being offended.
"Great peace have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble."
Psalms 116:165
Peace of mind and heart keeps one calm in the crisis hour. This peace is obtained through the love that makes one obedient to the law of God.
The peace that comes to the soul is not an ordinary one, but one that is great enough to keep us sweet although others may try to offend us.
"...nothing shall offend them..." Transgressors of the law are easily offended because the peace of God is absent from their lives. "Oh, that you had hearkened to My commandments! Then your peace...would have been like a flowing river..." Isaiah 14:18 What a beautiful picture of a life that trusts and obeys, a life that will not be offended.

Never return evil for evil
or insult for insult (scolding, tongue-lashing, berating), but on the contrary
blessing [praying for their welfare, happiness, and protection, and truly
pitying and loving them]. For know that to this you have been called, that you
may yourselves inherit a blessing [from God--that you may obtain a blessing as
heirs, bringing welfare and happiness and protection]. 1 Peter 3:9
1 Peter 3:8-10 (in
Context)
1 Peter 3 (Whole Chapter)
And He sat down and called the Twelve [apostles], and He said to them, If anyone desires to be first,
he must be last of all, and servant of all. Mark 9:35
The World Will Expect Peace and Safety. See what happens after Peace and Safety are assumed.
God is listening at the door or your heart for your decision. For Him or just to ignore this eternal issue.
Soon (when is not known); only by the Father, God will overturn nature. There will be nothing in the natural world (observance of nature or the ability of science or weather predictions) that would hint of this change in nature that is coming. Current weather conditions and natural disasters cannot compare to the world-changing events that will precede Jesus' eminent personal return. There will be no escape for the unsaved.
No plans, safe places, extra food, no matter how expensive or elaborate, will protect or prepare us from the seven last plagues. All who delay - hoping for a better or more convenient time to repent and turn to God will be lost.
God will protect His people from these plagues. There will be no martyrs after probation closes.
Close of Probation Passes Unnoticed
"For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the [return of the] Lord will come [as unexpectedly and suddenly] as a thief in the night." I Thess. 5:2
The righteous and the wicked will still be living upon the earth in their mortal state - men will be planting and building, eating and drinking, all unconscious that the final, irrevocable decision has been pronounced in the sanctuary above. Before the flood, after Noah entered the ark, God shut him in, and shut the ungodly out; but for seven days the people, knowing not that their doom was fixed, continuing their careless, pleasure-loving life, and mocked the warnings of impending judgment. "So," says the Savior, "shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Silently, unnoticed as the midnight thief, will come the decisive hour which marks the fixing of every man's destiny, the final withdrawal of mercy's offer of guilty men.
The people are fast being lulled to a fatal security, to be awakened only by the outpouring of the wrath of God.
The Lord in judgment will at the close of time walk through the earth, the fearful plagues will begin to fall. Then those who have despised God's word, those who have lightly esteemed it, shall wander from sea to sea, and from north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord and shall not find it....
