MSB REV Chapter 6

The First Seal: The White Horse

Then I watched as the Lamb opened one of the seven[fn] seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder,“Come and see![fn]”

[So] [I] saw[fn] a white horse, and its rider held a bow. And he was given a crown, and he rode out to overcome and conquer.

The Second Seal: War

And when [the Lamb] opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say,“Come![fn]”

Then another horse went forth. [It was] bright red, and its rider was granted permission to take away peace from the earth [and] to make [men] slay one another. And he was given a great sword.

The Third Seal: Famine

And when [the Lamb] opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say,“Come and see!”[fn]

And [I] saw a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales. 6 And I heard[fn] a voice vvv from among the four living creatures, saying,“A quart of wheat for a denarius,[fn] and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and vvv do not harm the oil and wine.”

The Fourth Seal: Death

And when [the Lamb] opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth[fn] living creature say,“Come and see!”

Then I saw a pale green horse. Its rider’s name [was] Death, and Hades followed close behind And he was given[fn] authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword, by famine, by plague, and by the beasts of the earth.

The Fifth Seal: The Martyrs

And when [the Lamb] opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony of the Lamb[fn] that they had upheld. 10 And they cried out vvv in a loud voice“How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge those who dwell upon the earth and avenge our blood?”

Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they [had been killed].

The Sixth Seal: Terror

And vvv I watched as [the Lamb] opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth [of goat] hair, and the whole[fn] moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars of [the] sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind. 14 The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders,[fn] the rich, the mighty, and every slave and[fn] free [man] hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 And they said to the mountains and the rocks,“Fall on us and hide us[fn] from [the] face of the [One] seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. 17 For the great day of Their[fn] wrath has come, and who is able to withstand [it]?”
