The Chronicle Of The Seven Seals

Then I saw in the right hand of him

Who sat on the throne

A scroll with writing on both sides

And sealed with seven seals

I heard a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice

"Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?"

But no one in heaven or under the earth

Could open the scroll or look inside

I wept and I wept because no one was found

Who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside

Then I heard one of the elders say to me

"Don't weep"

See the Lion of the tribe of Judah

The root of David has won

He is able to open the scroll

And its seven seals

Then I saw a lamb looking as if it had been slain

Standing in the center of the throne

Encircled by four living creatures

And the elders

He had seven horns and seven eyes

Which are the seven spirits of God

Sent out into all the earth

He came and took the scroll from

The right hand of him who sat on the throne

And when he had taken it

The four living creatures and the elders

Fell down before the Lamb

Each one had a harp

And they were holding golden bowls

Full of incense

Which are the prayers of the saints

And they sang a new song

I watched as the lamb opened the first of the seven seals

Then I heard one of the four living creatures

Say in a voice like thunder

"Come"

There before me was a white horse

Its rider held a bow

He was given a crown

He rode out as a conqueror

Bent on conquest

Then another horse came out

A fiery red one

Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth

To him was given a large sword

And there before me was a black horse

Its rider was holding a pair of scales

Then I heard a voice among the four living creatures saying

"A quart of wheat for a day's wages

And do not damage the oil and the wine"

There before me was a pale horse

Its rider was named Death

And Hades followed close behind him

They were given power

Over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword

Famine and plagues and by the wild beasts of the earth

I saw those who had been slain because of the word of God

And I heard them call out in a loud voice

"How long Sovereign Lord holy and true

Until you judge the earth and avenge our blood?"

Then each of them was given a white robe

And they were told to wait a little longer

There was a great earthquake and the sun turned to black

I saw the whole moon turn blood red

And the stars in the sky fell down to the earth

As drops from a tree when shaken by the wind

The sky receded like a scroll

And every mountain was removed from its place

Then the kings of the earth I saw the rich I saw the mighty

Every slave and every freeman hid in caves in the mountains

"Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on

The throne

And from the wrath of the Lamb

For the great day has come and who can stand?"

I felt the silence in the sky

There was a wonder in the air

Because the numbers were complete

The time had come when all the seals were broken

All things I saw were like a dream

There was angel dressed in white

I saw the glory in his face

He came and stood at the altar

Then I could see in his hand

A censer made of gold

And much incense for offerings were given to him

I saw the smoke from the incense rise up before the Lord

Together with the prayers of the saints

Prophecy - is spoken

Prophecy - forever

We're running out of time

Prophecy - is calling

Prophecy - for mankind

You cannot run away

Then the angel took the censer

Filled it with the fire from the altar

He raised his hand and hurled it on the earth

With mighty peals of thunder

I may see the coming king appear in majesty

To proclaim his kingdom's coming

Meanwhile at the world's dark end

The nations raise their hands

Waiting for the serpent to strike

The seals are broken
