A figure stood there, but I could not recognise its appearance; a form loomed before my eyes. I heard a whispering voice:
But the Lord is in his holy temple; let the whole earth be silent in his presence.
Let all humanity be silent before the Lord, for from his holy dwelling he has roused himself.’
They went and secured the tomb by setting a seal on the stone and placing the guards.
Then I saw in the right hand of the one seated on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides, sealed with seven seals.
And they sang a new song: You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slaughtered, and you purchased people for God by your blood from every tribe and language and people and nation.
Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, ‘Come! ’
Then I saw him open the sixth seal. A violent earthquake occurred; the sun turned black like sackcloth made of hair; the entire moon became like blood;
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, ‘Come! ’
When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, ‘Come! ’ And I looked, and there was a black horse. Its rider held a set of scales in his hand.
When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, ‘Come! ’
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the word of God and the testimony they had given. ,
