1. Read Revelation 6<\/strong>. How many of the seven seals are explained in this chapter?
\na. Carefully read Revelation 6:1-8<\/strong> again.
\n(1 Read Zechariah 1:8-17<\/strong>; 6:1-8<\/strong>. Compare to the first four seals of Revelation 6<\/strong>.
\n\u201cThe horses may signify various divine judgments on the earth.\u201d NIV Study Bible<\/em>
\n(2 What does the rider on the white horse come to do?\u00a0 Who do you think he is?
\n\u201cMajor interpretations of the rider on the white horse are (1) Christ (19:11<\/strong>) (2) antichrist (3) the spirit of conquest. The latter establishes a more natural sequence with the other three riders (which symbolize bloodshed, famine and death).\u201d NIV Study Bible
\n<\/em>(3 What do you think the second seal, a \u201cfiery red\u201d<\/strong> horse represents? Why? The sword in Revelation 6:4<\/strong> is the same kind of sword as Revelation 13:10<\/strong>. How does this differ from the sword of Revelation 1:16<\/strong>?
\n(4 What does the third seal, the black horse, represent? Why?
\n\u201cwheat\u2026barley. One quart of wheat would be enough for only one person. Three quarts of the less nutritious barley would be barely enough for a small family.\u201d NIV Study Bible
\n<\/em>\u201coil and the wind. Sets limits on the destruction of the rider on the black horse. The roots of the olive and vine go deeper and would not be immediately effected by a limited drought.\u201d NIV Study Bible<\/em>
\n(5 What does the fourth seal, the pale horse, represent? Who was it\u2019s rider? Why would Hades be following close behind him?\u00a0 Who were they given power to kill? Who gave them this power (Revelation 1:18<\/strong>)?
\n(6. Can you see a natural consequence of one seal leading to another? Explain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

b. Read Revelation 6:9-11<\/strong> carefully.
\n(1 What do you think \u201cunder the altar\u201d<\/strong> symbolizes?
\n\u201cunder the altar, In OT ritual the blood of the slaughtered animal was poured out at the base of the altar (Ex 29:12 Lev 4:7<\/strong>).\u201d NIV Study Bible <\/em>
\n(2 Who are the \u201cinhabitants of the earth\u201d<\/strong>? (Revelation 8:13-14<\/strong>; 11:10<\/strong>; 13:8<\/strong>, 12<\/strong>; 17:2<\/strong>, 8<\/strong>)
\n(3 What does the \u201cwhite robe\u201d symbolize? (Revelation 3:5<\/strong>, 18<\/strong>; 4:4; 7:9<\/strong>, 13-14<\/strong>; 19:14<\/strong>)
\n(4 \u201cThen each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been were completed.\u201d Revelation 6:11<\/strong> Who was told? To wait a little longer for what? Where do you think they are? Who would be fellow servants and brothers?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

c. Read Revelation 6:12-17<\/strong>.
\n(1 What signs show the significance of the sixth seal?
\n\u201clate fig. Green figs appearing in the winter and easily blown from the tree, which at that season has no leaves.\u201d NIV Study Bible <\/em>
\n(2 During the sixth seal who hides? Where? Why?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Read Revelation 7<\/strong>, considering its context.
\na. Read Revelation 7:1-8<\/strong> again.
\n(1 Who were sealed? (Include the answers in both verse 3<\/strong> & 4<\/strong>) Why were they sealed? With whose seal were they sealed?
\n(2 When were they sealed (what events happened before and after)? Where were the 144,000 when they were sealed? On what part of their body were they sealed?
\n(3 Read Genesis 49<\/strong>. Which of Jacob\u2019s sons were not included in the 12 tribes? (Jacob adopted Joseph\u2019s sons–Genesis 48:5-14<\/strong>) Any idea why? \u201cThe omission is due perhaps to Dan\u2019s early connection with idolatry (Jdg 18:30<\/strong>) or to a tradition that the antichrist was to come from that tribe.\u201d NIV Study Bible\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

b. Read Revelation 7:9-17 <\/strong>again.
\n(1 Who were included in the great multitude? What were they wearing and what was in their hands? Where were they standing? What did they cry?
\n(2 What did one of the elders ask John? What was the answer? What is the future of the great multitude?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
