Session #6 - The Seals of Judgment and God’s Protection - Bible Verse Hand Book
Session 6 The Seals of Judgment and God’s Protection (Rev 6 -7) I. INTRODUCTION TO THE SEVEN SEALS (REV. 5) A. Jesus took the scroll sealed with seven seals from the hand of the Father 7 He [Jesus] came and took the scroll out of the right hand of
Him [Father]…9 B. 8 When He [Jesus] had taken the scroll…the twenty-four elders fell down…each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. (Rev. 5:8) D. 19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. (Rev. 19:19) 6 ”…I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry
land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they [unbelievers]
shall come to the Desire of All Nations [Jesus]…”
says the LORD. F. The seven seals are released 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” (Rev. 5:5) 1 I saw when the Lamb [Jesus] opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” (Rev. 6:1) 3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!” 7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake.
The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole
moon turned blood red. When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for
about half an hour. G. Come and see: 17Your eyes will see the King in His beauty…18Your heart will meditate on terror: “Where is the scribe? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?” (Isa. 33:17-18) H. Principle of judgment: 16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. (Rev. 17:16) II. FIRST SEAL: ANTICHRIST’S POLITICAL AGGRESSION A. The opening of the first seal speaks of the Antichrist’s political aggression 1 I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one
of the four living creatures saying…, “Come and see.”
2 I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow;
and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to
conquer. B. White: 11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. (Rev. 19:11) C. Crown: The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming
out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns
on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I
saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a
mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and
his throne and great authority. 1. The Antichrist will receive authority, or permission, to act from God. 7 And authority was given him [Antichrist] over every…nation. (Rev. 13:7) Jesus possesses all authority 18All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. (Mt. 28:18) 1 There is no authority except from God…the authorities that
exist are appointed by 2. Satan and sinful leaders will also give their authority to the Antichrist . 2…The dragon [Satan] gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. (Rev 13:2) E. Through the Antichrist, God will judge the harlot Babylon for murdering the saints 6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. 16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. (Rev. 17:6, 16) III. SECOND SEAL: WORLD WAR (6:3-4) A. The opening of the second seal 3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” 4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. It was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. (Rev. 6:3–4) B. Great sword: 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. (Rev. 6:2) C. Take peace from the earth: 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. (1 Thes. 5:3) God will take peace from the nations made drunk by the great Harlot 6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. 16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. (Rev. 17:6, 16) D. The Antichrist will make a peace treaty 27He [Antichrist] shall confirm a covenant [peace treaty] with many for one week [seven years]; But in the middle of the week [seven years] He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate…” (Dan. 9:27) IV. THIRD SEAL: FAMINE AND ECONOMIC CRISIS (6:5-6) A. The opening of the third seal speaks of releasing famine and economic crisis 5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” (Rev. 6:5-6) Famine and economic collapse will follow the world war seen in the second seal 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given
power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each
other. To him was given a large sword. V. FOURTH SEAL: DEATH TO ONE-FOURTH OF THE EARTH’S PEOPLE (6:7-8) A. The opening of the fourth seal 7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. (Rev. 6:7-8) D. A fourth: 17 I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will leave you childless. Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I the LORD have spoken.” (Ezek. 5:17) 21”How much more it shall be when I send My four severe judgments
on Jerusalem—the sword and famine and wild beasts and pestilence—to
cut off man and beast from it? VI. FIFTH SEAL: PRAYER RELEASING JUDGMENT A. The opening of the fifth seal 9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar [altar of incense in heaven] the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God…10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed [martyred] as they were, was completed. (Rev. 6:9–11) B. The fifth, sixth and seventh seals 2 Righteous are His judgments…He avenged on her the blood
of His servants… D. How long?: 12 Then the angel of the LORD said, “LORD Almighty, how long will you withhold mercy from Jerusalem and from the towns of Judah, which you have been angry with these seventy years?” (Zech. 1:12) 3 My soul is in deep anguish. 2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts 10 How long will the enemy mock you, God? 5 How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? 4 How long, LORD God Almighty, will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people? (Ps. 80:4) 46 How long, LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? 13 Relent, LORD! How long will it be? 3 How long, LORD, will the wicked, 13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled—the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, the surrender of the sanctuary and the trampling underfoot of the LORD’s people?” (Dan. 8:13) 6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?” 7 The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.” 8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord,
what will the outcome of all this be?” 11 “From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12 Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days. 13 “As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance.” (Dan. 12:6-13) 7 ”…will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night…8 He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” (Lk. 18:7-8) VII. THE SIXTH SEAL: COSMIC DISTURBANCES (6:12-17) A. The opening of the sixth seal 12He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13And the stars of heaven fell to the earth…14Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” (Rev. 6:12–17) B. Great earthquake: 6 “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. (Hag. 2:6) 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised,
“Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”
27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what
can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot
be shaken may remain. Mountains continue to exist in the seventh bowl 20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. (Rev.16:20) VIII. FIRST ANGELIC EXPLANATION: WHO CAN STAND? (7:1-17) B. Angelic explanation #1: Who can stand? 1After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” 4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel. (Rev. 7:1-4) Gentile martyrs shall stand strong without wavering in persecution. 9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, 11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying: “Amen! 13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?” 14 I answered, “Sir, you know.” C. John sees a divine sealing on His people that gives them physical and spiritual protection. 1 I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth…2 I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels… 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed… (Rev. 7:1-4) D.Israel received a protective mark on their doors that saved their firstborn. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads (Rev. 9:4) The Goshen principle speaks of God protecting His people from judgment the Psalm 91 principle. 22 “‘But on that day I will deal differently with the land of Goshen, where my people live; no swarms of flies will be there, so that you will know that I, the LORD, am in this land. 23 I will make a distinction between my people and your people. This sign will occur tomorrow.’” (Ex. 8:22-23) 4 But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’” 5 The LORD set a time and said, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.” 6 And the next day the LORD did it: All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died. 26 The only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen, where
the Israelites were. 6 Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” (Ezek. 9:6) 3 Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, E. Gentile believers 9 Behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne…10saying, “Salvation belongs to our God…” 13Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” 14…he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes…in the blood of the Lamb.” (Rev. 7:9-14)
