Summary

This episode from Revelation 5–7 explores how the Lamb’s authority over the scroll and its seals reveals God’s sovereign control over history, tribulation, and final redemption. It emphasizes that Jesus—not chaos or Satan—unleashes each seal, demonstrating that war, famine, death, and cosmic upheaval serve His redemptive purposes. Drawing from Ezekiel’s exile scroll and Jesus’ Olivet prophecy, it highlights how the seals first comforted persecuted Asian churches by linking their sufferings to Jerusalem’s AD 70 fall and by exposing every false earthly security. The message shows that martyrs’ prayers for vindication are held back not by divine indifference but by God’s patient desire to save more people, calling believers to persevere in witness amid persecution. It reframes Revelation’s interludes—the sealing of the 144,000 and the innumerable white-robed multitude—as guarantees that, though Christians experience tribulation, they are shielded from God’s final wrath and destined for eternal service in the heavenly temple. The takeaway is clear: keep proclaiming the gospel, stay alert, and fix hope on the King of kings because the kingdoms of this world are becoming the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.
