First Four Seals - Aftermath
The first four seal openings occur under the watchful eyes of the “Lamb” and the “four living creatures” around the “throne” – Revelation 6:8 . Collectively, the four “ riders ” are authorized to kill “ a fourth of the earth .” Each seal is “ opened ” by the “ Lamb ,” and each respective “ rider ” is commanded to ride by one of the “ four living creatures ” that surrounded the “ throne .” The forces unleashed by the first four seals result from the “ Lamb ” breaking open the seven “ seals ” of the scroll.
