THE SEVEN SEALS WILL BE OPENED
Good to have you back ... Remember, it is a good idea to confirm the quoted Scripture with the Bible. What are the Seven Seals of Revelation? The Seven Seals are a very interesting part of End Times prophecy. To find out what happens next, we must go to the Book of Revelation and see how it compares with the Olivet Discoursewhich is what we just looked into on the previous study page. It really should match up well, with the Olivet Discourse because Jesus was the one who predicted the Olivet Discourse and was the Spiritual author of that which is written in the Book of Revelation (The Revelation of
Jesus Christ).
|
Revelation 1:1
The
Revelation of Jesus Christ,
which God gave unto Him,
to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass;
and
He sent and signified
it by His Angel unto his
servant John
... |
John was merely
the pen the Lord used to share the Revelation of Jesus with us.
As we read the
words that are shared in the Book of Revelation, keep in mind that this
is a vision that John (One of Jesus' Apostles) had about two thousand
years ago (About 90 A.D.) on Patmos Island while being imprisoned there
by the Romans.
In the Book of Revelation, John was given the ability to
look into the future, in a vision that he received and what he saw, he
described in his own words and compared it to things of his day and his
past. So, he uses symbols, of sorts.
When you read of these things that
he saw in his vision, try and imagine yourself back in his time period
and see if you can figure out what he is describing, based on that which
is in modern day.
Most of the symbols are Spiritual in nature and some can be discerned by
knowing the Bible, so we will be doing a lil symbol searching too.
As we begin the Seven Seals of Revelation Bible study, we will begin at Revelation, Chapter 6, known
as the Seven Seals in Revelation. Let's find out the answer to ... What are the Seven Seals in the Bible?
|
1st Seal
|
|
Revelation 6:2
And
I saw, and behold a
white horse:
and he that sat on him had a
bow;
and a
crown was
given unto him:
and he
went forth
conquering,
and to conquer. |
Let us look at the symbols used in John's
Vision ...
|
WHITE HORSE
Some
believe that this is Antichrist, a world leader that will reign
terror on Earth for 3 and a half years during the End Times because
Jesus
Himself will come in on a white horse when He returns at Armageddon.
And they believe that Antichrist is trying to CON-vince the nations
that he is the long awaited Messiah.
|
Here is the Scripture that reveals that
Jesus will return on a White Horse.
|
Rev.
19:11
And I saw Heaven opened,
and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon Him
was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness
he doth judge and make war. |
Some
believe that the white horse symbolizes the false peace covenant that is
spoken of in the book of Daniel. That the conquering of this entity will be done in the
name of PEACE.
|
Daniel 9:27
And
he shall confirm the covenant with
many for one week (7 years)
and in the midst of the week
(Middle of the 7 years - 3½ years)
he shall
cause the sacrifice and the
oblation to cease,
and
for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make it desolate,
even until the consummation, and that determined shall
be poured upon the desolate. |
They say this
because John uses symbols and a white horse represents PEACE yet the
rider has a bow (weapon) which suggests that he attempts to establish
PEACE by war. This would make it a false peace.
|
BOW
This weapon
suggests that the intent is war or defense. Note that there are no arrows mentioned. Could this
be because the power is only for show or does this
simply mean the author assumed we would associate
bow with arrows and just did not add that he had
arrows?
It would seem it would be a
shield if it were defense though, but let's keep an open mind. |
Something interesting to note is
that when Jesus returns, He has no bow, He has a Sword.
The Sword is the Word of God.
|
Revelation 19:15
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with
it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule
them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the
winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty
God.
|
|
Revelation 19:21
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him
that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out
of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with
their flesh. |
Maybe this is why Jesus warned us to beware of false christs
The point is that when you are doing research such as what we are doing in the Seven Seals of Revelation Bible study,
one should enter with no preset ideas. Keep an open
mind and do not dismiss anything just because it does sit
well with your own, what are the Seven Seals in the Bible theory and watch for any clues that you
may get from God's Word.
|
CROWN
Note that the crown was given unto him. This certainly indicates that it is a
leader of a country or a group of people. So, it is someone that is given
leadership of a nation or group. |
|
CONQUERING
AND TO CONQUER
The
intent of this leader is to conquer other countries. |
So, using all
Scripture, symbols and prophecy ... The first Seal represents a chosen leader (Antichrist)
who presents himself as being righteous and sets forth to conquer using
Peace as a disguise for his purpose.
Now ... Remember that Jesus is the author of both the end times prophecy in the Olivet Discourse as well as the book of Revelation which is in truth from Jesus Christ given to John. So the Seven Seals of Revelation Bible study interpretation has to match what Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse.
This interpretation matches very well with the first thing mentioned by Jesus in
the Olivet Discourse, ( False Christ) which we discussed on the
previous page
of this study.
|
Matthew 24:5
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many. |
BUT ... I read the
word MANY when Jesus said MANY will come in my name.
This makes one lift the brow when suggesting that it is only ONE entity such as Antichrist.
Here is more confirmation ...
|
1 John 2:18
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many Antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. |
He could have been answering ALL three questions originally asked
before He gave the Olivet Discourse about the various points of time all at once
and this is what is confusing.
WHAT ARE THE SEVEN SEALS OF REVELATION WARNINGS?
Remember ... When you are doing research such as the Seven Seals of Revelation Bible study, one should enter in with no preset ideas, keep and open mind and do not dismiss anything
because it does sit well with your theory and watch for any clues that
you may get from God's Word.
BUT ... Do the
rest of the Seals match up (IN ORDER) with the rest of the Olivet
Discourse?
Let us continue
looking into the Seals of the Book of Revelation ...
|
2nd Seal
|
|
Revelation
6:4
And
there went out
another horse that was red:
and power was given to him that sat thereon to
take
peace from the earth,
and that they should
kill
one another:
and there was given unto him a
great
sword. |
The
symbol of the red horse obviously means war.
You do not need to be a rocket scientist to figure that one huh?
This
matches up perfectly again with the next thing that Jesus
mentioned would occur in the Olivet Discourse
which we discussed on the
previous
page
of this study.
|
Matthew 24:6
And ye shall hear
of WARS and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all
these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. |
So, we have a
second match ...
It seems that the Seven Seals of Revelation Bible study is rolling right along. Let us continue
looking into the Seals of the Book of Revelation ...
|
3rd Seal
|
|
Revelation
6:5-6
And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair
of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of
the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and
three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not
the oil and the wine. |
WOW ...
The Black horse symbolizes Famine just as Jesus predicted would occur
next in the Olivet Discourse which we
discussed on the
previous page
of this study.
|
Matthew 24:7
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be FAMINES. |
Let us continue looking into the Seven Seals in the Bible ...
|
4th Seal
|
|
Revelation
6:8
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was
Death, and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them over
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and
with death, and with the beasts of the earth. |
We are given even
more horrifying clues as to what else will occur at this time. ¼ of
the people on earth will die by war, famine resulting in
disease
(pestilence) and from beasts
of the Earth. Many suggest that since there will be such a famine, that
wild beasts will feed on humans.
Many are
killed. Some are killed with "death" ... This is what Jesus predicted
next in the Olivet Discourse when He said "pestilence" would thrive
which we discussed on the
previous
page
of this study.
Let us continue the Seven Seals in the Bible ...
|
5th Seal
|
|
Revelation
6:9-11
And when He had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar
the souls of them that were slain for the Word of God, and
for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a
loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost
thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on
the earth?
And white
robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season,
until their fellow servants
also and their brethren, that should be killed as they
were,
should be fulfilled. |
This is a VERY important message. Those who had died for Christ
(Christians) received white robes and were told to wait until OTHER
Christians that were to be killed for the name of Jesus arrived. These
Christians are just now being brought to Heaven.
This again matches very well with the next thing mentioned by Jesus in
the Olivet Discourse (Christians killed) which we discussed on
the
previous page
of this study.
|
Matthew 24:9-14
Then
shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and
ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall
many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one
another" And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. |
Let us continue looking into the Seven Seals in the Bible ...
|
6th Seal
|
|
Revelation
6:12-17
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a
great Earthquake;
and the
sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the
moon became as blood;
And the
stars of Heaven fell
unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the
heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;
and every mountain and island were moved out of their
places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men,
and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the
mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid
themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall
on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of
His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? |
Looking back at the Seven Seals of Revelation Bible study, shows that this matches almost word for word with the next thing Jesus mentioned would occur in the
Olivet Discourse (Great Tribulation), which we discussed
on the
previous page
of this
study.
|
Matthew 24:29-30
Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not
give her light, and the stars shall fall from
heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of
man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the
earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great
glory. |
So, let us summarize what we have so far ... There
will come a leader who will hide his true goals behind the mask of peace
yet he will use power as the way he proceeds. The result will be wars,
famine, disease and death until even ¼ of the population of the world
is killed. This will result in Christians being killed and GREAT
TRIBULATION.
As we can clearly see researching all that we have learned within The Seven Seals of Revelation Bible study, there is another very good match with the
Olivet Discourse in
Matthew,
Chapter 24 and the Seven Seals in
Revelation,
Chapter 6
... In fact; they are virtually the same thing.
WHAT ARE THE SEVEN SEALS OF REVELATION SUMMARY
Jesus, who foretold of the End Times in the
Olivet Discourse, also being the one who foretold of the End Times, in
the Book of Revelation, has given us a way to find out what happens next
when the Olivet Discourse ends and the Book of Revelation continues.
Because of the matching Scripture we have shared in the Seven Seals of Revelation Bible study ... We now know that everything that has
occurred thus far in the Olivet discourse ... Happened in the first six
seals of Revelation.
THIS IS A MAJOR TIMING FACTOR.
WHY IS IT A MAJOR TIMING FACTOR?
Because the next thing mentioned in the Olivet Discourse AND in the Book
of Revelation is a Rapture ...
Let us proceed and find out exactly what happens next in the ...
End Times
