When the Lamb broke open the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there in front of me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.
I watched as the Lamb broke open the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice that sounded like thunder, “Come!”
They sang a new song that said, “You are worthy to take the scroll and break open its seals, because you were put to death, and you bought people for God with your blood. They come from every tribe, language, race, and nation.
But one of the elders said to me, “Don’t cry! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has won the victory, and he is able to break the seven seals and open the scroll.”
