The 7 seals are the Divinely inspired events and personalities attached, that will come to pass in the End Times. These events are set in the stone of eternity. They will come to pass. Though they culminate in the end-times.and more intensely in the last 42 months of History before He returns......they of course may have their roots deeper than that in history.
This is not a mystery in the sense that it is unexplained. The explanation, though couched in deep mystical Heavenly terminology and symbols, is spoken of in Chapter 7.
In the end of the fulfillment of the seals, as well as the beginning, it is clear that Jesus of Nazareth is Lord, and that these events will bring all glory and honor to His being, and entitled Lordship. The 7 seals cry out; "Jesus is Lord!!! and so worthy of worship.
1.]And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, "Come and see."
2.] And I saw, and behold a [ 1st SEAL BROKEN!} 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.
[ "I believe this to be Islam. Mohamed [supposedly] rode to Heaven on his famous white horse from the temple mount...to meet Abraham...and God himself.] I think that the "beast" is Islam, and the anti-Christ...as Islam is anti-Christ, will rise here. Islam is antichrist, the white horse.]
3.]And when he had opened the second seal,[ 2nd SEAL BROKEN] I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4And there went out another horse that was red:
[ I believe this to be Communism, or Socialism, in the end times. This began in the French Revolution, and was championed by Marx..and others. Communism has murdered more people than all of the wars ever fought...(Mao and
Stalin=100 million..alone.]...[ the red flag...the Khmer rouge!]
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."[ hundreds of millions dead..] the red horse.
5.]And when he had opened the third seal,[ 3rd seal broken]
I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6.] 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."
I see the 3rd seal to be the New Age ecumenical movement that mixes a one world government with all religions, and combines sorcery too. It's kind of like the "Oprah" gospel...with mediums, gurus, one worlders, and witches...all under a social flag...[ everyone gets wheat,barley, oil and wine....socialist mentality; arm and arm with new-age mysticism.
7.]And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8. "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: [ 4th seal broken...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."
I think that this is plague and judgment given to the Earth in these very last days, as peoples stray from the Savior. Because this one kills with death...; only God has the power of death...[ Jesus holds death and Hell..]
9.]And when he had opened the fifth seal,[ 5th SEAl broken.] I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10And 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?
11And 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 fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. "
This is the persecution of the church, and obvious martyrdom that will come to pass upon me and you, if we are faithful. [ Most of this by Islam, I'm afraid..]
12.] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal,[ Sixth seal Broken] [Sixth Seal Broken] and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
[ The signs before He comes. The signs of the coming of the Son of Man!
13.] 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.
14. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15. 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;
16. 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:
17. For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
The 7th seal, { He gathers! The Rapture! the great Wrath upon the beast...the Supper of the Lamb! the restoration of the Earth! The Millennium begins!
He returns, gathers His bride, along with saving Jerusalem and the Jews..!!!!
