What does the scroll with seven seals in Revelation 5 represent?
The Revelation 5 scroll represents a mortgage, with its seals placed on the outside. Opening those seals pictures the mortgage being opened by removing the triggering mechanisms for events in time, releasing the horsemen judgments: Antichrist, invasion, famine, disease, and great death and destruction.
Les explains that the scroll out of Revelation 5 had seals on its outside and was indicative of a mortgage. In Revelation 6, those seals are opened, and the mortgage is opened up by taking off the triggering mechanisms for events in time. The first seal brings the white horse, symbolizing the coming of the Antichrist. The red horse symbolizes the Russian invasion. The pale horse symbolizes famine and disease. The black horse indicates the great death and destruction that will come as a result of the famine. Les notes there are seven seals, but the seventh is covered later because it introduces the trumpet judgments that follow after the midpoint.
