The Seals
1I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals. # Rev 5:1, 5–7 Then I heard one of the four living creatures saying, with voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2And I looked, and behold, there before me was a white horse. # Zec 1:8 He who sat on it had a bow. And a crown was given to him, # Rev 14:14 and he went forth conquering that he might overcome. # Mt 24:6
3When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature # Rev 4:7 say, “Come and see.” 4Then another horse that was red went forth. # Zec 1:8; 6:2 Power was given to him who sat on it to take peace from the earth, causing people to kill one another. # Mt 24:7, 10 Then a great sword was given to him.
5When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature # Rev 4:7 say, “Come!” I looked, and behold, there was a black horse, # Zec 6:2 and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6Then I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart # 6:6 Gk choenix, or a kilogram. of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wages, # 6:6 Gk denarius. and do not harm the oil and the wine.” # Mt 24:7; Rev 9:4
7When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature # Rev 4:7 say, “Come!” 8So I looked, and behold, there was a pale horse, # Zec 6:3 and the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed him. # Hos 13:14 Power over one-fourth of the earth was given to them, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. # Mt 24:9
9When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar # Rev 14:18 the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had held. # Rev 20:4 10They cried out with a loud voice, “How long, O Sovereign Lord, # Zec 1:12 holy and true, # Rev 3:7 until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11Then a white robe was given to each of them, # Rev 7:9 and they were told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers should be completed, who would be killed as they were. # Mt 24:9; Heb 11:40
12I watched as He opened the sixth seal. And behold, there was a great earthquake. # Rev 16:18 The sun became black, like sackcloth made from goat hair, and the moon became like blood. # Mt 24:29 13And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, # Rev 9:1 as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when it is shaken by a strong wind. 14Then the heavens receded like a scroll when it is rolled up, # Isa 34:4 and every mountain and island was removed from its place. # Rev 16:20
15Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the rich men and the commanding officers and the strong and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. # Isa 2:10, 19; Mt 24:16 16They said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us # Hos 10:8; Lk 23:30 from the face of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17for the great day of His wrath has come. # Jer 30:7 Who is able to withstand it?” # Ps 76:7 # 6:17 Hos 10:8.
