Seven Seals

Revelations 6:1

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals,

Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" 6:2 I looked and there before me was a white horse! It's rider held a bow and was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

6:3 When the Lamb opened the second seal,

I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" 6:4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. It's rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.








6:5 When the Lamb opened the third seal,

I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! It's rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6:6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures saying "A quart of wheat for a days wages, and
three quarts of barley for a days wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"


6:7 When the Lamb opened the forth seal,

I heard the voice of the forth living creature say "Come!" 6:8 I looked and there before me was a pale horse! It's rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a forth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.






6:9 When he opened the fifth seal,

I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 6:10 They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?"

6:11  Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the
number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.

6:12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal,

There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 6:13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 6:14 The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.




8:1 When he opened the seventh seal,

There was silence in heaven for about a half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand
before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
