What did the scroll with seven seals in Revelation 5 represent?
The scroll with seven seals in Revelation 5 represented a mortgage. Its seals were on the outside, and opening them removed triggering mechanisms for events in time. These included the white horse symbolizing Antichrist, the red horse Russian invasion, the pale horse famine and disease, and the black horse great death and destruction.
Les explains that in Revelation chapter 6, the seals were on the outside of the scroll out of Revelation 5, which was indicative of a mortgage. Opening the seals removed the triggering mechanisms for events in time. The first seal, the white horse, symbolized the coming of the Antichrist. The red horse symbolized the Russian invasion. The pale horse symbolized famine and disease. The black horse indicated the great death and destruction that will come as a result of the famine. The sixth seal is opened in verse 12, and the seventh seal, covered later, introduces the trumpet judgments that follow after the midpoint.
