THE SIX SEALS OF REVELATION Seal #1: The White Horse & Rider represent global deception, false peace, prosperity, and the rise of a figure known as the Antichrist. The Bible does not specify the duration of this period, but it may extend up to 42 months, as the Antichrist is permitted to exert his influence for this duration. During this first seal, the Antichrist emerges as a prominent figure on the world stage, presenting himself as a savior. He resolves the Arab-Israeli conflict (Dan. 9:27) through a peace agreement or covenant, subsequently allowing Israel to construct a Temple (Rev. 11:1), a process that may span up to 42 months. Seal #2: The Red Horse & Rider symbolize the rapid expansion of the Revived Roman Emperor's conquests through bloodshed and warfare, described as the removal of peace (v. 4). The "great sword" signifies the Roman Legionnaire's short sword used in close combat, indicating widespread violence, warfare, and death. Seal #3: The Black Horse & Rider signify famine and scarcity spreading across the globe. Disruptions caused by upheaval, unrest, and warfare lead to the breakdown of global food supply chains, resulting in widespread starvation. Seal #4: The Pale Horse & Rider represent the harrowing combination of Death and Hades. Death claims the body, while the Grave or Hades claims the soul. The means of such death worldwide will encompass all the warfare and famine of the second and third seals, along with the probable addition of pestilences and plagues known as “beasts”. Altogether, the first half of the Tribulation's seven years (Daniel's final week of the 70) results in a net loss of one in four humans. Seal #5: The Prayers of the Martyrs are unleashed. Just as our prayers for God's Kingdom to come will be reflected in His wrath during the Tribulation, here we witness those who have been slain for their witness to Christ. In heaven, they are perfected, and thus, nothing they do is wrong or sinful. It is righteous in Heaven to implore God to judge the evildoers of this Earth. The martyrs pray, and God responds powerfully. These prayers erupt in the subsequent seal. As if a global dictator, global wars, famines, pestilences, and death were not sufficient, now we witness God's Wrath in action. All the tribulations thus far have been caused by humans; now, a glimpse of the Wrath of God emerges. Seal #6: The Wrath of God is unleashed, and the entire Earth trembles. What a dreadful time it will be! Consider the precise language John employs regarding the sixth seal: it is a detailed description of what we are to expect when the Earth's magnetic poles have shifted, and the solar outburst (micronova/nova) blasts the Earth. The remaining mankind will be absolutely terrified. 6th SEAL - REVELATION 6:12-17
(12) I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; (13) and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. (14) The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. (15) Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; (16) and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; (17) for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"
