An Overview of Revelation Part 6

144,000
[1] After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth,holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowingon the land or on the sea or on any tree. [2] Then I saw another angel comingup from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea. [3] "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we puta seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God." [4] Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
[5] From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000, [6] from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000, [7] from the tribe of Simeon 12,000, from the tribe of Levi 12,000, from the tribe of Issachar 12,000, [8] from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.
THE GREAT MULTITUDE IN WHITE ROBES:
[9] After this I looked and there before me was a great multitudethat no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. [10] And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."[11] All the angles were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces beforethe throne and worshiped God, [12] saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"
[13] Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes-who are they and where did they come from?" [14] I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the greattribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in theblood of the Lamb. [15] Therefore,
"they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. [16] Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. [17]For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

An Overview of Revelation Part 5

THE SEALS
[1] 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!" [2] I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
[3] When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" [4] Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.
[5] When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. [6]Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!
[7] When the Lamb opened the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" [8] I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
[9]When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the alter the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. [10]They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" [11]Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.
[12]I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, [13]and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. [14]The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
[15]Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. [16]They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall onus and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! [17]For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"

************************************************

Verses 1 and 2 are about the Antichrist. He will be given power in a time when there are wars, and he will promis peace for 7 years. It's important to note that it says "...he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest." Though he speaks of peace, he is really about conquest.
Verses 3 and 4 are about the red horse..which signifies war. Which is why it says, "...was given a large sword."
Verses 5 and 6 are about famine. A whole day's wages ($90.00 or more) for a quart of wheat, three quarts of barley. That's way too high.
Verses 7 and 8 are about death and hades. Many people will die during this seal judgement. By war, famine, and plagues, and by the wild beasts.
Verses 9-11 are about the martyrs.
Verses 12-14 are about the book of Joel.
Verses 15-17 are about fear. People will die from fear, their hearts will give out.
