I. THE FIRST SIX SEALS

ACT I -- SEAL 1

 

The ARCHER of the white horse goes forth from the Lamb with his bow, on a career of conquest (vi. 1,2).

ACT II -- SEAL 2

 

The rider of the red horse puts an end to the previous peace, and involves the populations of the Fourth Beast polity in bloody civil wars (vi. 3,4).    

ACT III -- SEAL 3

 

The Greco-Latin Horse black with lamentation, mourning and woe (vi. 5,6).

ACT IV -- SEAL 4

 

War, famine, pestilence, and barbarian invasion combined, sickly over the Roman Horse with the pale cast of death and corruption (vi. 7,8).

ACT V -- SEAL 5

 

A period of great resistance unto blood on the part of the Bowmen engaged in the conquest of the paganism of the Fourth Beast (vi. 9-11).    

ACT VI -- SEAL 6

 

A great earthquake inaugurates this judicial period. War in the heaven, (Apoc. xii. 7) resulting in an eclipse of the sun, in the moon becoming blood, in stars of the heaven, the stars drawn by the tail of the Dragon, falling to the earth, and in the casting out thereinto of the great red dragon (Apoc. xii. 4). The heaven of the Dragon-polity departs as a scroll rolled up; and every mountain and island change their places. The angels of the dragon are cast out with him (Apoc. xii. 9). No place for them any more in the heaven from which they are ejected having been effectually conquered by the Archer -- the fellow servants and brethren of the souls under the altar; who conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, on account of which they were slain, not loving their lives unto death (Apoc. xii. 11; vi. 9). Great rejoicing in the heavens by them who succeed the ejected dragon and his officials, who rage with great fury in the earth and sea of their late dominion (Apoc. xii. 12). The great day of wrath upon paganism.

The woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, the Laodicean Apostasy, imperialized, and the Man-of-Sin power revealed (Apoc. ii. 20; iii. 16; xii. 1-5).
