This section of Revelation covers the 7 seals being opened. The first seal brought forth a white horse with a bow, and he was overcoming so he could overcome. The second seal was a Red horse which brought war to the earth. The third seal was a black horse which brought famine and oppression. The 4th seal brought forth a pale horse which was death, and it was followed by Hades. These are many times referred to the four horses of the apocalypse. The 5th seal was the prayers of the martyrs who were under the altar, "How long, Lord, until you avenge our blood." The 6th seal was the day of wrath when the heavens are shaken. The 144,000 believers were sealed until the Father was ready. In chapter 8:1, the 7th seal was broken, and it brought silence in Heaven.
