Hymn No. 74
Seal Me Before the Slaughter
Origin: DSDA Haiti Division
Rod Quotation: TN7: 71.3
Tune: SDAH 337
♦-1-♦
The Rod is the message of the hour.
Its beautiful counsels bring zeal,
I pray, loving Lord, give me power,
To live it and receive the seal.
♦-Refrain-♦
Seal me, Seal me,
Oh seal me before the slaughter,
Seal me, Seal me,
Oh seal me before the slaughter.
♦-2-♦
From my life remove sinful thinking,
I seek the righteousness of God,
Oh teach me about healthful living,
As it is revealed in the Rod.
♦-3-♦
Parables, numerics and timelines,
As given through prophetic art,
Reveal truth in symbolic designs,
As kingdom route compass and chart.
♦-4-♦
The power that the Rod embraces,
Let it my character transform,
Cultivating all Christian graces,
Help me to obey and reform.
TN7: 71.3; Series page: SRS: 656
We know that the Lord is speaking to His people at this very time through the publications of The Shepherd’s Rod; that the message they contain is that which “will cause a shaking among God’s people” (Early Writings, p. 270); that those who accept this counsel of the True Witness will receive the seal of God and be numbered among the 144,000 (Testimonies, Vol. 3, p. 266); that those who reject it, will fall in the slaughter of Ezekiel 9 (Testimonies to Ministers, p. 445; Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 211) and Isaiah 66:16; and that those who “escape of them,” the 144,000, the first fruits, are to be the servants of God in the time of the Loud Cry (Rev. 14:4; Testimonies, Vol. 5 pp. 80, 81) to bring the second fruits out of “all nations.” Isa. 66:19, 20.
