TWO MORE MAJOR ELEMENTS OF THE AGE / SEALS


Book of Revelation ("Revealing") 6:9-17

When the Lamb of God (Jesus) unrolls the prophetic scroll, breaking the fifth seal on the scroll, we are shown and can hear those who have been slain for the Word of God and their testimony, saying "when will you avenge our blood upon Earth O Lord?" This is like the voice of Abel's blood crying out to God from the ground. A white robe is given to each of them and they are told to rest a while longer, until those who would be killed as they were, is completed. This element of the latter age (and fifth seal) is martyrdom (which of course has been going on since before Nero.)

When the sixth seal is opened, all hades breaks loose! (Not "the grave" but that other translation, "hell".) A spiritual earthquake that progresses into the very shaking of the earth. The very fabric of life changes.
