SEALS AND ANGELS

A seal is mark of belonging, an identity. Sometimes its a representation of somebody's right to use-and abuse. It can also be a lid, to prevent contamination or tampering - to preserve purity and sanctity. Our covenant with God has a seal, a spiritual one. The glory of God is a seal. So is each and every one of His words concerning a person. Angels can also be referred to as seals.

Cain was sealed after his punishment. He was bright enough to realize that Gods damnation would expose him to destruction, and at his request pleading God put a seal on him, so no man could kill him. This was a covenant of some level of protection even in his newly acquired animal-like status.
