The Seven Seals

The Seven Seals are a series of apocalyptic visions revealed to John the Apostle in the Book of Revelation, specifically in Chapter 6. These seals, when broken, unleash a series of events that are both awe-inspiring and terrifying. Each seal reveals a unique aspect of the end times, offering a glimpse into the divine plan and the ultimate triumph of good over evil. As we decode these seals, we will seek to understand their relevance to contemporary issues and the potential messages they hold for us.

"God is telling me (Revelation 911) is the sequel to Hal Lindsey’s book The Late Great Planet Earth. It’s the fifty-years-later sequel." - Pastor Paul Begley

The First Seal: The White Horse

The first seal unveils a rider on a white horse, carrying a bow and wearing a crown. This figure is often interpreted as a symbol of conquest, representing either a period of victorious expansion or the spread of influential ideas and movements. In today's context, this could be seen in the rise of powerful leaders, influential ideologies, or even the spread of technological and cultural revolutions that reshape our world.

The Second Seal: The Red Horse

The second seal reveals a rider on a red horse, symbolizing war and bloodshed. The rider is granted the power to take peace from the earth, leading to widespread conflict. As we look around, we see numerous conflicts and rising geopolitical tensions. From territorial disputes to civil wars, the red horse's presence is felt in the increasing volatility and violence that plague many regions, reminding us of the fragility of peace.

The Third Seal: The Black Horse

The third seal introduces a rider on a black horse, holding a pair of scales. This imagery signifies famine and economic hardship. The rider's proclamation about the price of wheat and barley indicates scarcity and inflation. Today, we witness economic instability, with fluctuating markets, food shortages, and a growing disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished. The black horse's message resonates with the financial crises and the challenges of equitable resource distribution.

The Fourth Seal: The Pale Horse

The fourth seal brings forth a pale horse, whose rider is named Death, followed closely by Hades. This seal represents widespread mortality through various means, including pandemics, natural disasters, and other calamities. In recent years, we have faced numerous health crises, from the COVID-19 pandemic to outbreaks of other diseases. Additionally, natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires have caused significant loss of life and destruction, echoing the dire warnings of the pale horse.

The Fifth Seal: The Souls Under the Altar

The fifth seal shifts the focus to the spiritual realm, revealing the souls of martyrs crying out for justice. These souls seek retribution for their suffering and are given white robes, symbolizing their righteousness. This seal highlights the ongoing persecution of individuals for their beliefs, whether religious, political, or ideological. In many parts of the world, people continue to face oppression and violence for standing up for their convictions, underscoring the enduring struggle for justice and human rights.

The Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances

The sixth seal unleashes a series of cataclysmic events, including a great earthquake, the darkening of the sun, and the falling of stars. These cosmic disturbances signal a profound upheaval in the natural order. In our era, we can draw parallels to the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters, the visible impacts of climate change, and astronomical phenomena that capture global attention. These events serve as reminders of the earth's vulnerability and the need for urgent action to address environmental challenges.

The Seventh Seal: Silence and the Seven Trumpets

The seventh seal brings a moment of profound silence in heaven, followed by the sounding of seven trumpets that herald further judgments. This pause represents a period of reflection and anticipation, marking a transition to the next phase of divine revelation. The silence can be interpreted as a call for humanity to reflect on its actions and prepare for what is to come. As we navigate the uncertainties of our times, this seal encourages us to seek inner peace and readiness for future challenges.
