The Sixth Seal: A Revelation of Terror and Judgment

In this vision, I beheld the Lamb of God, He who is worthy to open the seals, and lo, He broke open the sixth seal. Immediately, there was a great earthquake, the likes of which have never been seen. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon turned as red as blood (Revelation 6:12). The stars of the sky fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs when shaken by a mighty wind (Revelation 6:13).

The sky was split apart like a scroll that is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places (Revelation 6:14). In this moment of great upheaval, the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the wealthy, the strong, and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They cried out to the mountains and rocks, saying, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” (Revelation 6:15-17).

Brethren, this vision speaks to the inevitable day of the Lord’s judgment, a day of terror for those who have not found refuge in Christ. The natural order will be shaken, the heavens will tremble, and the earth will be moved. As it is written, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens” (Hebrews 12:26).

In light of this, I urge you, beloved, to live with a sense of urgency and godly fear. Now is the acceptable time; now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Let us not be like those who are unprepared, but let us be watchful and sober, knowing that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night (1 Thessalonians 5:2).

Remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, who said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6). Let us, therefore, pursue righteousness and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).

May this vision be a solemn reminder of the holiness and justice of our God. Let it stir us to greater zeal in our proclamation of the gospel, that many might be saved from the coming wrath. For the Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:10-11). And may the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

The Fourth Seal: Death

Revelation 6:7-8 (AMP) states: “When He (the Lamb) broke open the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature call out, ‘Come.’ So I looked, and behold, an ashen (pale greenish gray) horse [like a corpse, representing death and pestilence]; and its rider’s name was Death; and Hades (the realm of the dead) was following with him. They were given authority and power over a fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword and with famine and with plague (pestilence, disease) and by the wild beasts of the earth.”

In this vision, the Lamb of God, full of grace and authority, breaks open the fourth seal. The atmosphere grows tense as the fourth living creature, with a voice resonating like a deep call, commands, “Come!” (Revelation 6:7).

From the depths of the celestial realm emerges an ashen horse, its pale greenish-gray hue chillingly reminiscent of a corpse, symbolizing death and pestilence. The rider, grim and foreboding, is named Death, and closely following him is Hades, the realm of the dead, representing the inevitable fate that follows in Death’s wake (Revelation 6:8).

As the rider descends to the earth, a shadow of dread and despair spreads across the land. Death, with his skeletal visage, wields the power to bring about unprecedented destruction. The authority given to him encompasses killing with the sword, famine, plague, and even the wild beasts of the earth, affecting a fourth of the earth’s population (Ezekiel 14:21).

The vision unfolds scenes of widespread calamity. War ravages nations, leaving behind a trail of destruction and countless lives lost. Famine grips the land, and people struggle to find food, their bodies weakened and emaciated. Pestilence spreads like wildfire, bringing disease and suffering to every corner. Even the wild beasts, driven by hunger and desperation, turn against humanity, adding to the chaos and terror (Deuteronomy 32:24).

As Death rides forth, Hades follows closely, collecting the souls of the perished. The sight is harrowing, with multitudes succumbing to the various forms of devastation unleashed upon the earth. The impact is felt universally, sparing no one from the touch of this relentless rider (Job 18:13-14).

In the midst of this overwhelming sorrow, the vision also serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of sin and the fragility of human life. It calls believers to reflect on the seriousness of God’s judgments and the urgency of repentance and faith in His redemptive plan (Isaiah 24:6).

As the vision fades, the message is stark and clear: the rider on the ashen horse signifies a period of unparalleled death and destruction, urging humanity to seek refuge in God’s mercy and grace amidst the looming judgments (Matthew 24:21-22).
