Part 6/10:
As the Lamb opens each seal, catastrophic events befall the earth, symbolizing rebellion, conflict, famine, death, and natural disasters. These markings of tumult echo the themes of judgment, yet are intertwined with assurances of God’s ultimate sovereignty.
First Seal: The rider on a white horse represents conquest and false peace.
Second Seal: War spreads as a fiery red horse emerges.
Third Seal: Famine grips humanity as prices rise.
Fourth Seal: The pale horse rides forth, symbolizing death.
Fifth Seal: The cries of martyrs beneath the altar plead for justice.
Sixth Seal: Cosmic disturbances signal impending judgment.
Each event serves as a reminder of humanity's need for redemption and alignment with God’s will.
