The seals described in Chapter 6 symbolize times of trouble and persecution that must not only happen in the future but also play out as commonplace occurrences in a fallen world opposed to Jesus. In other words, these are not only part of some “great tribulation” that will come upon the world, but something the original audience in Asia Minor experienced because they named the name of Christ.
What is the overall theme of Chapter 6?
As followers of Jesus, we will suffer both persecution and possible martyrdom. It may seem that God is not vindicating those who have suffered now, but He will execute His justice on that final day. Today, we often cry out for justice when we have been victims of injustice.
Here’s the hard reality: In this life, those who sin may not receive justice through an imperfect government or authority structure. But that does not mean they will never receive justice. It is delayed until that Final day.
In the meantime, we should endure with patience, knowing that God is sovereignly in control of all things and will bring history to a close on His appointed timetable.
