Now, two thousand years later, scholars have much to say on the meaning of this sixth seal.
Revelation 6: The Fifth Seal
The martyrs were invited to refresh themselves during this intermission between their deaths and the coming of the end of time, when all will be judged and justice will be brought forth.
Revelation 6: The Fourth Seal
Before John’s surely horrified eyes, a ghastly figure appeared as the fourth living creature called forth the specter of Death. The horse was pallid with the sickly hue of plague, and the ominous dark shadows of Hades settled around Death’s form, resting above its steed.
Revelation 6: The Third Seal
What John saw he beheld with dread. The world of antiquity was no stranger to famine. In fact, not long after the Gospel had broken through the barrier of race and religion, the subject of a severe famine comes up in the Book of Acts.
Revelation 6: The Second Seal
Reading about the second seal gives more context to the first seal, the first horse, and the first rider. If they are part of a set, then how does the first rider fit in?
Revelation 6: The First Seal
The Lamb was now moving the scroll into position and opening the first of its seven seals.
