What does the term “seal you his” mean?

Thomas R. Valletta

“To those who die in their wicked state, not having repented, the scriptures say the devil shall seal them as his own (see Alma 34:35 ), which means that until they have paid the uttermost farthing for what they have done, they shall not be redeemed from his grasp. When they shall have been subjected to the buffetings of Satan sufficient to have satisfied justice, then they shall be brought forth out of the grasp of Satan and shall be assigned to that place in our Father’s celestial, terrestrial, or telestial world merited by their life here upon this earth” (Teachings of Harold B. Lee, 59).
