Comments on Revelation, Chapter 6:

Six of The Seven Seals

In the last chapter the British-Jewish Lion has deserved to open the Seven Seals and gradually reveals the scroll, which symbolizes the Biblical message about the meaning of life and the outcome of our stage in history.

The first 4 Seals are the famous  Apocalyptic Riders:

1. The Rider on the White Horse

He will be the dreaded executor of the legacy of Jesus, who will gain political importance throughout the world after defeating the Beast according to chapter 19. False prophets, who proclaim pleasant doctrines for money, dread him so much that they usually understand this politician as a negative figure, a kind of deceiver. Others may say he is Jesus, which has the same effect: discouraging anybody from trying to fulfil this prophecy. The White Horse is the symbol of ancient Britain before the Norman conquest, when "England" was still the land of the "angels". When the first beast arrived in 1066, England died, a disaster which was announced by a comet. 931 years later the removal of the second Beast was announced by comet Hale-Bopp. Soon the White Horse will be back. England will be the source for the creation of a New Age. St. George, the patron saint of England is usually shown sitting on a white horse, when he kills the dragon, but he never existed and should be understood as a prophecy of the Rider on the White Horse from the Revelation. The War against the Dragon is also a quotation from the Revelation, see chapter 12. People have realized the importance of these prophecies for Britain in the past. In chapter 14 we'll meet the shape of the bow again in the form of a sickle, see Isaiah 41:2.)

2. The Rider on the Red Horse

He carries a sword and represents wars and other kinds of armed conflicts. Both the colour red and the sword are symbols of the element of fire meaning destruction.

3. The Rider on the Black Horse

He carries a scale and represents business and the economy. It has brought damage to the environment and exploitation of workers leading to poverty. People end up with only   "one kilo of wheat for a day's wages"   hardly enough to feed themselves and support a family.

4. The Rider on the Pale Horse

His name is Death. Together with the two previous riders they kill through wars, famine and other consequences of human greed.

5. The Fifth Seal:

Innocent victims of persecution are the output of human history. They have not kept quiet about the evil in the world and had to suffer. Now they receive a white gown symbolizing their superior spiritual status and ask the heavenly beings to take revenge for their suffering. In chapter 8, 9 and 11 this revenge comes as the 7th seal and in this chapter as:

6. The Sixth Seal:

An earthquake combined with "... the sky moving away like a scroll rolling up ..." is a remarkably precise vision about a nuclear explosion, a cataclysmic volcanic eruption or the impact of a major meteorite on the earth. It happens because of "the anger of the lamb" and represents God's retaliation and the revenge by all the victims who ever had to suffer in human history.

7. The Seventh Seal

is a collection 7 current disasters, the 7 trumpets of the seven angels announcing the end of our age in chapter 8, 9 and 11.
