Chapter 6 Breaking the Seals of the Mysterious Book Revelation 6:1, 2: Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, "Come and see." And I looked, and behold, a white horse. And he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. The "seven seals" bring us either to glorious victory, or to terrible defeat; to adoration and praise at the coming of Jesus, or to calling on the rocks to hide us from the wrath of the Lamb. They bring us to life or to death. To the saved ones, Christ is the Lamb slain; to the lost, He is the avenging lion of Judah. God shall wipe away all tears from the eyes of the saved; the lost will cry with agony in that day. 80
A fierce battle rages between light and darkness, between Christ and Satan. Each of us acts a part in that battle; we cannot escape. Horses symbolize messengers for God. The messengers sent bring both salvation and judgment. Cooperation with God means life and victory; resistance means defeat and death. The four horses and their riders evidently symbolize the work of God's angel messengers to earth, bringing people to repentance, life and victory; protecting the righteous and keeping under restraint the wicked; striving with the wicked, and trying to bring them to repentance; bringing judgments and afflictions upon those who resist God's grace that they might be led to repent; and final judgment and death for those who refuse to repent. Here we see both the love of God and His justice, His mercy and His righteous anger. For many centuries Bible students have seen these three series of panoramic world events (the 81
