Men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads were :

 

And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. Revelation 9:4 - King James

 

 

⚪ The unconverted

9:4. And It was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth.—Men of independent thought. —Rev. 8:7. [Neither any green thing.] Neither any tree.—Saint. —Rev. 8:7. But [only] those men.—The unconverted. Which have not the seal of God In their foreheads.— Methodists understand that to be converted from being a sinner means to have the seal of God in one's forehead. All the energies of that church are devoted to gathering in goats to the sneepfoid. Source : 🇺🇸 1917 - Studies in the Scriptures, Vol 7, The finished mystery, page 157 + Cover

⚫ Imitation Christians, imitation spiritual Israelites

Hence John says: “And out of the smoke locusts came forth upon the earth; and authority was given them, the same authority as the scorpions of the earth have. And they were told to harm no vegetation of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.” Such men were not sealed or impressed with the spirit of God, and so were not producing the fruitage of His spirit but were imitation Christians, imitation spiritual Israelites.
