After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back thefour winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, saying,…

When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth mas the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale.

Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard oneof the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer. (Revelation 6:1-2 ESV). Today we begin to see the opening of the seven seals. When Jesus opens the first…
