WeeKly BooK oF Revelation
paraphrased study
~ 6:1-4 ~
1 - I (John) was watching as the Lamb (who seemed to have been slain) opened one of the seven seals on the scroll (which is the vision). Then I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 And behold, a white horse! And it came forth conquering and to conquer. Its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him. (I think Jesus went from ascension to Revelation chapter five. And opening the seal, out rode forth into the new age - into the years of our Lord A.D. - the gospel, for a time openly victorious over powers and principalities ..and in response) 3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth (war, Ps.2) so that people should slay one another, and it was given a great sword. (The seals are described, at the beginning of the vision, as their full and entire effects, first to last. The horsemen’s rides continue throughout the age. …War, was given a great [megas - large, great, (and) in the widest sense; word commentary included - “mass and weight, compass and extent”] sword. (I think the great sword is seal 6.)
