Before reading the First Seal, please read the following reports: The Four Kingdoms (Daniel Chapter 7), The Fourth Kingdom (2 Esdras chapter 11 and 12), and The Man of Sin (2 Thessalonians Chapter 2).
Revelation 6:1: “And I” [John] “saw when the Lamb"
[Christ] "opened one
of the seals,” [Christ opened the first seal of the book that he
received from the Most High, see Revelation 5:5-7]
“and I”
[John] “heard, as it were the noise of thunder,”
[The voice of]
“one of the four beasts” [See Revelation 4:6-8]
“saying, Come and
see.”
Revelation 6:2: “And I” [John] “saw, and behold a white horse:
and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto
him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”
This vision represents the change that will occur in the earth,
ushering in the last kingdom that shall rule, before Christ’s
second coming. Power shall be given to the seven heads/kings of
that kingdom, see the breakdown of Revelation
13:1-2 and Revelation 17:7, 9-11
with
Message to reader: The Seven
Heads of the
Beast.
Based upon our examination of Revelation, the following scriptures are contained in The First Seal.
Satan Gives Power to the Seven Kings
Revelation 13:1: “And I" [John]
"stood upon the
sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having
seven heads" [The last seven kings of the
Roman Empire, see 2 Esdras 11:28-35, 12:2]
"and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and
upon his heads" [Kings/leaders]
"the name of blasphemy.” The vision of the
beast with the seven heads, ten horns, ten crowns and the name
of blasphemy upon its heads is explained in Revelation 17:7-14.
Revelation 13:2: “And the beast” [The
beast with seven heads and ten horns] “which
I" [John] "saw was like unto a leopard,” [Alexander king of the
Greeks] “and his feet were as the feet of a bear,”
[Cyrus king of the Persians] “and his mouth as the mouth of
a lion:” [Nebuchadnezzar king of the Babylonians] “and
the dragon” [Satan, see Revelation 12:7-9]
“gave him" [The beast with seven heads and ten
horns]
"his power, and his seat, and great authority.”
The Beast with seven heads and ten horns will be given power and
ruler ship over the entire earth. Each of the seven heads/kings
will rule and/or be setup to rule. The last head/king will rule
until Christ returns.
The Seven Kings
Revelation 17:9: “And here is the mind which hath wisdom.” [The 144,000/Servants of God will understand] “The seven heads are seven mountains,” [Seven kingdoms] “on which the woman sitteth.” The “woman” is Babylon, see Revelation 17:18 and Revelation 16:19.
As discussed, there will be a resurrection of the just and
the unjust, see
Daniel 12:2 and Acts 24:15.
The seven heads and ten horns lived during the time period of
John, and will be brought back in the last kingdom. The angel of
Christ tells John the mystery of the Beast.
The angel of Christ spoke to John on the Island of Patmos, the
angel explained that the beast was made up of seven kings, five
kings were dead, and the sixth king was ruling (alive) in that
time period. Additional, the angel explained that the seventh
king would rule for a short time. The kings that ruled in that
time period are historically known as the Caesars. These seven
Caesars/kings will be brought back at the end of the Fourth
Kingdom/Roman Empire. The Beast that was, and is not, his spirit
will be placed in the body of the seventh king/Caesar when he is
brought back at the end of the Fourth Kingdom.
Revelation 17:10: “And there are seven kings:” [Or Caesars that ruled in the time period when this vision was revealed to John. Those kings/Caesars will be brought back at the end of the Fourth Kingdom/Roman Empire, see Revelation 13:1] “five are fallen," [At the time this vision was revealed to John, five kings/Caesars were dead] "and one is,” [At the time this vision was revealed to John, the sixth Caesar/king was ruling] “and the other is not yet come;” [The seventh Caesar/king] “and when he" [The seventh king] "cometh, he must continue a short space.” Rule for a short time.
