Bible Note: Greetings Taleb! Thanks for the Genesis reference! I missed that one! :-) Let's do the comparison on the seals, trumpets, and vials. I will list them side by side sequentially. Seal, Trumpet, and Vial: 1) White horse (conquest), 3rd earth burned up, painful sores. 2) Red horse (no peace), 3rd sea blood, sea blood. 3) Black horse (famine), 3rd springs bitter, springs bitter. 4) Pale horse (death), 3rd darkness, scorching heat. 5) Martyrs souls, locusts, darkness. 6) Earthquake, locusts released 3rd men die, Euphrates dried up. 7) Silence, mystery finished wrath has come, earthquake and hailstones. There are definitely some similarities in the list above. In some cases, the percentages increase which each sucessive series. However, there are plenty of differences as well my friend. I still see them as three sucessive series. My take on them over the years is as follows. I believe that the seals will be very general judgements that probably occur throughout history (or perhaps just during the church age). I believe that the trumpets will be more specific judgements poured out during the first half of Daniel's 70th week. I believe that the vials will be the final judgements poured out duing the second half of Daniel's 70th week. I know that some view them as the same series, but I simply have never seen anything which would lead me to believe that my friend. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
