THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

“Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at

CHAPTER VII. – HISTORY OF THE SEALS

The book of Revelation is introduced as a

“revelation of Jesus Christ”; the first five

chapters verify the truthfulness of the name.

The sixth chapter opened to John a new phase

of the divine character as revealed in the life

of the Son, and in His attitude toward the

people upon whom His love is bestowed.

The secret history of those on earth, between

whom and the Father no being can intervene,

is held in the right hand of that Father, and the

Lamb alone is able to fulfill what is written

within the scroll. The seals, opened, reveal the

life of the church, the child of God; and

extend to the end of time. Others may know
