The Seven Seals
1 Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of ch. 5:1,5-7the seven seals, and I heard ch. 4:7one of the four living creatures say ch. 14:2;19:6with a voice like thunder, ch. 22:20"Come!" 2 And I looked, and behold, Zech. 6:3;[ch. 19:11, 19, 21] a white horse! And [Ps. 45:4,5;Hab. 3:8,9;Zech. 9:13,14] its rider had a bow, and ch. 14:14;[Zech. 6:11] a crown was given to him, and he came out See ch. 3:21conquering, and to conquer.
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under ch. 14:18;16:7the altar ch. 20:4the souls of those who had been slain ch. 1:9for the word of God and for See ch. 1:2the witness they had borne. 10 They cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, ch. 3:7holy and true, [Ps. 94:3;Zech. 1:12] how long ch. 11:18;19:2before you will judge and Ps. 79:10;119:84;Luke 18:7,8avenge our blood on See ch. 3:10those who dwell on the earth?" 11 Then they were each given ch. 3:4;7:9a white robe and ch. 14:13told to rest a little longer, [Heb. 11:40] until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers6:11 Or brothers and sisters. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, the plural Greek word adelphoi (translated "brothers") may refer either to brothers or to brothers and sisters[Gen. 15:16]should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
