7. THE BOOK OF REVELATION.

THE SEVEN SEALS.

The book of Revelation summed up falls into three movements which follows.

THE FIRST MOVEMENT. Chapter 1-5. The enthronement of Christ on the Throne in Heaven.

THE SECOND MOVEMENT. Chapter 6-20.

The Great Tribulation.               The Wrath of God. The enthronement of Christ on Earth.

THE THIRD MOVEMENT. Chapter 21-22. Where Christ sits on His Throne in the New Creation. Christ, the Lamb, in supreme control of all the Earth.

He is there “now” see chapter 3:21.

“Even as I overcame, and sat down with my Father on His Throne in Heaven.”

Enthronement has already taken place in Heaven.

Hey, dear reader, He that sits on The Glorious Throne of God is in control of your life.

Is He “Lord” over your life? He loves you passionately.                  

You must crown Him “King of All Kings,” over everything that pertains to you. 

Your Home and Family.

Your  Relationships.

Your Finances.

Your Circumstances.

Your Health, your Hopes and Dreams and …                       YOUR HEART!

So you won’t become confused, we will try to summarise the events in order of their application.

A. The Son of Man amid the Lampstands.

CHRIST IN HEAVEN “OPERATING” THROUGH THE CHURCH ON EARTH.

B. The Seven letters to the Churches on Earth.

THE CHURCH ON THE EARTH “FUNCTIONING” FOR CHRIST IN HEAVEN.

C. The Heavenly Throne and Worship.

THIS BEING THE PLACE OF SUPREME AUTHORITY.

D. The Lamb and the seven sealed book or scroll.

WHERE CHRIST, THE LAMB, IS IN TOTAL CONTROL.

THE SEVEN SEALS.

The Lamb of God (Jesus) opens each seal, revealing specific events that point towards the end times.

They are mentioned in chapters 6-9 and are a series of symbolic seals that, when opened, will unleash a series of apocalyptic events and judgements upon the earth.

In his vision, John sees a scroll ( book). The opening of each seal releases a different aspect of the end times, including the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Here is the breakdown of the Seven Seals.

1. THE FIRST SEAL:

The first seal is opened to reveal a WHITE HORSE. Its rider carries a bow and is wearing a crown symbolising a conquest. The rider of this horse is interpreted as a Figure of ” False Peace.”  And “Deceptive Authority.”

2. THE SECOND SEAL:

The opening of this sale releases a

“RED HORSE.” Symbolising war and the removal of peace upon the Earth. The rider is given power to remove all peace from off the Earth.

Can you imagine the chaos that will replace that peace?

Fear, doubt and unbelief will rule the heart of man. His mind will be controlled by bitterness, anger, and evil instead of quiet confidence.

His speech. Men will be at each other’s throats to vent their anger upon those they have chosen not to trust. There will be violence, murder, and persecution toward those once called friends. Conscience will not bother them as they become totally depraved. (As it was in the days of Noah)

Lies, betrayal, and self-exaltation will motivate them to destroy one another. Endless worry, sleepless nights, sick bodies and tormented souls will result from peace taken off the Earth. That peace of God, the peace that surpasses all understanding,  is removed, and War and conflict remain. What a terrible plight.

The cause of war is found in the book of James. Chapter 4:1-3.

Only in Revelation will the effects be global.

3. THE THIRD SEAL. The third seal reveals a “BLACK HORSE,” Representing Famine, disease, and economic hardship. The rider carries a pair of scales to measure and ration food. This is caused by the war revealed in the second Seal. The lack of fresh, nutritious food would definitely cause the spread of disease.

The evil Terrorist organisation, Hamas, is doing this in Gaza at this very moment. They are starving their own people by withholding humanitarian aid from them and using the money for the destruction of Israel.

4. THE FOURTH SEAL.

When opened, this seal unleashes a “PALE HORSE” (Green Horse) symbolising death and destruction. The rider is named “DEATH,” and “Hell” follows him. Many people die in many and various ways. This is an eternal death!

5. THE FIFTH SEAL:

The MARTYRS CRY! Those who were martyred for their faith cry out for vengeance for their deaths upon their enemies. They are given pristine white robes. They are told they must wait until the full number of martyrs is completed.

6. THE SIXTH SEAL.

This seal brings cosmic chaos and destruction, including a horrific Earthquake, a darkened Sun, a blood-red moon, and the terror of falling stars. A period of intense tribulation and fear.

7. THE SEVENTH SEAL.

This seal will introduce seven Angels with Seven Trumpets. They will unleash further judgments upon the Earth. This seventh seal will lead to the magnificent blasting of the seven trumpets. They will permeate the whole existence of time and eternity, declaring the seven Bowl Judgments.

It isn’t easy to imagine, yet it is true and will certainly come to pass.

We may not understand how it will happen, but we, by faith like the Martyrs of old, look for a better City made without hands—the CITY OF GOD.

THE  LIVING UNSHAKABLE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Meanwhile, you must remain faithful, loyal, and obedient to your Heavenly Calling and be ready when He comes.

Amen.

You will only survive if you are a born again child of the living God. Jesus was imperative when He said,  “YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!

Ask Jesus to save you now … He is coming soon!!
