Revelation 6 is the sixth chapter of the Book of Revelation or the Apocalypse of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The book is traditionally attributed to John the Apostle, [1] [2] but the precise identity of the author remains a point of academic debate. [3] This chapter describes the opening of the first six of the seven seals ...
Wax seals were typically placed across the opening of a scroll, [7] so that it was known to be authored by the proper person, when the document was opened in the presence of witnesses. [6] This type of "seal" is frequently used in a figurative sense, in the book of Revelation, [8] and only the Lamb is worthy to break off these seals. [6]
Revelation 6 tells of a book or scroll in God's right hand that is sealed with seven seals. The Lamb of God/Lion of Judah opens the first four of the seven seals, which summons four beings that ride out on white, red, black, and pale horses. All of the horsemen save for Death are portrayed as being human in appearance.
The Book of Revelation or Book of the Apocalypse is the final book of the New Testament (and therefore the final book of the Christian Bible). Written in Koine Greek, its title is derived from the first word of the text: apokalypsis, meaning 'unveiling' or 'revelation'. The Book of Revelation is the only apocalyptic book in the New Testament canon.
It is made known that only "The Lion that is from the Tribe of Judah" (Revelation 5:5) is worthy to open this book/scroll. The Lamb, with seven horns and seven eyes, takes the book/scroll from Him who sits on the throne (Revelation 5:6–7). All heavenly beings sing praise and honor The Lamb (Revelation 5:9).
The first Bible in English to use both chapters and verses was the Geneva Bible published shortly afterwards by Sir Rowland Hill [21] in 1560. These verse divisions soon gained acceptance as a standard way to notate verses, and have since been used in nearly all English Bibles and the vast majority of those in other languages.
