Revelation 6:1-17 is the text for this sermon entitled, "Opening the Six Seals."

The vision of the opening of the six seals represent God’s plan unfolding, even with the calamities and woes that come upon the earth. Note this chart:

                Revelation 6                                                   Matthew 24
1.False Christ (v.2)........................................False Christs (v.4-5)
2.Wars (v. 3-4) ..............................................Wars (v. 6-7)
3.Famine (v. 5-6)...........................................Famine (v. 7)
4.Pestilence (v. 7-8) ......................................Pestilence (in Luke)
5.Persecutions (v. 9-11).................................Persecutions (v. 9-10)
6.Earthquake, solar eclipse, ..........................Solar & lunar eclipse,
          blood red moon, stars                                        heavenly bodies shaken
          falling  (v.12-13)                                                      (v. 29)
7.Heavenly silence (8:1)................................Son of Man appears (v.30)

So we can see this close correlation between the first 6 seals and Jesus’ prediction of events to be fulfilled within a generation in the gospels. Today, in the face of unfathomable earthly events, God and the Lamb are in control.
