Opening the book with seven seals
Revelation 6:1-17. The first six seals
1, 2. First seal:
the conquest of the Antichrist.
The opening of the seals begins the day of the Lord, the beginning of the tribulation period on earth to overthrow Satan and evil men. Opening di ognuno dei primi quattro suggelli, una delle creature viventi associate con il governo di Dio sulla terra grida: “Vieni!”. In questo modo provocano i primi giudizi, simboleggiati da quattro cavalieri. Il cavaliere sul cavallo bianco, (Apocalisse 6:2), è l’Anticristo, il “capo che verrà” (Daniele 9:26) imitando Cristo (Apocalisse 19:11), con l’”arco” e la “corona”, simboli delle Sue grandi conquiste.
3, 4. Secondo suggello:
la guerra.
Il cavaliere sul cavallo rosso (colore del sangue) è la personificazione della guerra (cfr. Zaccaria 1:7-11; Zaccaria 6:1-8). La “Grande sword "that he contested the symbol of the destruction that war entails. Note that this gentleman does not kill, but is limited only to take peace from the earth and leave it to men to kill one another, men are more violent than ever. Will be very difficult to follow God and those who will jeopardize their lives.
5, 6. Third seal:
famine. The rider on the horse
black symbolizes famine, a result of war. Bread is rationed, "A chenice (about a quart) of wheat for a penny (the daily wage of a worker -
Matthew 20:1-16), and three chenici barley for a penny" (Revelation 6:5, 6). Consequently, the lower middle class can not buy another. "No damage to either the oil or the wine" means that only the rich can get stimulants. The Antichrist, therefore, will not bring welfare
promised.
7, 8. Fourth seal:
death.
ll rider on the pale horse represents pestilence, which will bring death. In this period the "Great Tribulation" will die one quarter of the inhabitants of the earth, and it seems that because of the chaos, nature will be disrupted, the animals will multiply in a frightening way and this will be one of the causes the deaths of many humans.
9-11. Fifth seal:
the martyrs of the "Great Tribulation" under the altar.
John's attention is no more polarized on the events that occur on Earth, but that is the altar in the heavenly temple. The souls who spilled their blood "under the altar" and this means that they have offered their lives in sacrifice to God, just as the victims' blood was shed under the altar of burnt offering (Exodus 29:12 ; Leviticus 4:7). These are the first martyrs of the "Great Tribulation" (Revelation 6:10). In fact, do not use a Christian language (see Acts 7:60). Also note the expression "those who dwell on the earth" (Revelation 6:10 b), which would indicate that their killers are still alive on earth. God gives these martyrs "in a white robe" (Revelation 6:11), after which they are invited to rest, or to wait for some time, because those who were martyred were still joined them, then Jesus would come with glory for answering their prayers (Revelation 20:4).
12-17. Sixth seal
natural disasters.
These disruptions appear to refer symbolically to the stellar company in genere. Tuttavia, alla luce del contesto, è possibile ritenere anche che si tratti di fatti reali (cfr. Luca 21:11, 25-27). Le stelle che cadono sulla terra, (Apocalisse 6:13), potrebbero essere delle meteore. “Ogni montagna ed ogni isola fu rimossa dal suo luogo”, (Apocalisse 6:14), indica uno sconvolgimento di tutta la crosta terrestre. Apocalisse 6:15 menziona sette classi di persone per dire che nessuno sarà dimenticato. La prima reazione della gente sarà di terrore, e tutti cercheranno di nascondersi dalla vista di Colui che li giudica, (Apocalisse 6:15b). Il terrore cederà presto il posto alla disperazione, quando ci si renderà conto che non è possibile sottrarsi allo sguardo di Dio, therefore be heard shouting: "Mountains Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb" (Revelation 6:16). What terror! What time of fear! Where will the courage of the powerful and arrogance of the rich, the curse of the poor and hatred of the scornful? The wrath of the Lamb will lead them to realize that there is no way out: "Why have you come for the great day of His wrath, and who is able to stand?" (Revelation 6:17). Men beaten by these scourges are perfectly aware that it is God who strikes them, but rather than repent, they become increasingly duri, nella speranza di sfuggire a questi giudizi. Apocalisse 6:1 – 8:5.
Apertura del libro con i sette suggelli
Apocalisse 7.
Prima parentesi
Apocalisse 7:1-8.
Gli Israeliti suggellati
1-3. Un rimanente di Israele preservato.
Con l’espressione: “Dopo questo”, (Apocalisse 7:1), ha inizio un intervallo tra l’apertura del sesto e quella del settimo suggello, con cui inizierà il giudizio delle sette trombe. I 144.000 israeliti presenti sulla terra saranno preservati dai giudizi finali della “Grande Tribolazione” che colpiranno il mondo, (Apocalisse 7:3).
4-8. The seal of the 144,000 Israelites.
These are Israelites alive at the time of "Jacob's trouble" (Jeremiah 30:5-7). Them during the Great Tribulation will accept Christ as the Messiah (cf. Isaiah 10:22), while most of the rest of Israel will perish under the blows of the Antichrist (Isaiah 28:14-21, Zechariah 14, Revelation 12:6, 13 - 17). God knows what are the tribes of Israel (Isaiah 11:11-16), and will keep a remaining service, returning to the United restored (Acts 1:6). The event will take place when "the times of the Gentiles" will be completed (Luke 21:24) that the number of fully raised (Acts 15:14, Romans 11:25). It is clear that the 144,000 are on earth (Revelation 7:1-4). Enumeration, the tribes of Dan and Ephraim are omitted, probably because of their involvement in idolatry (Deuteronomy 29:18-21, Judges 17, Judges 18:18-31, I Kings 12:25-30, but cf. Ezekiel 48:1-7,
23-29). According to some, the tribe of Dan is omitted for another reason, because it will come the Antichrist, which should be a Jew (cf. Genesis 49:16, 17).
Revelation 7:9-17. The large crowd of martyrs
9-14. The martyrs.
The multitude of the martyrs is "saved" in Christ during the "Gande Tribulation" (Revelation 7:14, Revelation 13:8, 15). The "white robes" are unmistakable evidence of their righteousness of Christ, while "palms in their hands" are an indication that divide the triumph of Christ and acknowledge Him as Lord, King and Messiah (John 12:13). This raises a multitude joyous cry of praise and thanksgiving to God, the source of salvation (Revelation 7:11), after experiencing an unparalleled suffering in the Great Tribulation (Revelation 7:14, Daniel 9:27, Matthew 2) . The 144,000
Evangelist of the United
The 144,000, who are on earth, thanks to the seal received will be preserved dalle terribili piaghe della Grande Tribolazione (Apocalisse 9:4). Attraverso l’attività missionaria di questi 144.000, una grande moltitudine di ogni nazione si “convertirà” a Cristo, anche se convertirsi significherà rischiare la morte.
Il messaggio dei 144.000 sarà l’”Evangelo del Regno” che il mondo dovrà conoscere prima che venga la fine (Matteo 24:14) e non deve essere confuso con l’Evangelo predicato dagli apostoli, dai primi cristiani e, ancora oggi, da tutti coloro che sono fedeli alla Parola di Dio, nella dispensazione della grazia (cfr. Marco 16:15-20; I Corinzi 15:1-4), ma deve intendersi come la Buona Notizia che Dio adempie il Patto con Davide. It is a United
political, spiritual and universal, the Messiah will reign on which to express the judgments of God on earth. This kingdom
1) was preached by the ministry of John the Baptist to the rejection of the Messiah by the Jews (crucifixion)
2) will again be preached in this period still future (Isaiah 43:10, Matthew 24:14) .4:15-51; II Thessalonians 2:1-12). They were brought to salvation through the preaching of the gospel of the Kingdom (Matthew 00:13, 14, also called the 'Eternal Gospel, "Revelation 14:6). The multitude is in heaven, "before the throne" (Revelation 7:9, 15 - along with the angels, Revelation 7:11 - cf. note Revelation 7:15). Note the distinction between the Church (the elderly) and the multitude.
15-17. Their bliss in the Kingdom.
The martyrs are in heaven, "before the throne of God" (Gr. enòpion thrònou tou tou Theou - cf. Revelation 1:4, Revelation 4:4-6, 10, Revelation 7:9, 11, 15, Revelation 8 : 3), day and night in His heavenly temple (which is in heaven - cf. Revelation 21:22) to serve (Gr = latreuòusin worship, sacred service). They no longer suffer hunger, thirst, and will no longer be tormented by the heat of the sun or anything else that generates discomfort. The Lamb that will nourish them and lead them to the source water of life (which is in heaven - cf. Revelation 22:1).
Revelation 6:1 - 8:5.
Opening the book with seven seals
Revelation 8:1-5.
seventh seal
1. Opening of the seventh seal. With the breaking of the seventh seal "book reviews" (Revelation 5:1) is completely open and marks the beginning of the sound of seven trumpets of the judgments of God
2-5. The prayers of the saints answered. "Another angel" (Revelation 8:3), is identified with Christ by some, but probably it is an angelic being who acts with priestly functions. The prayers of the saints are heard through the land on the bad reviews.
