In his presentation on Revelation 6, Ben explores the apocalyptic visions triggered when the Lamb opens the first six seals of the scroll. The sequence begins with the four horsemen—riding white, red, black, and pale horses—who are released to bring conquest, violence, economic hardship, and death to a quarter of the earth. The fifth seal shifts the focus to the souls of martyrs beneath the altar who cry out to the Sovereign Lord for justice, receiving white robes and a command to rest until the appointed number of their fellow sufferers is complete. Following this, the sixth seal unleashes severe cosmic upheaval, including a blackened sun, a blood-red moon, and a vanishing sky, driving people of all earthly statuses to hide in terror from the wrath of the Lamb. These intense themes of suffering and judgment are grounded in the apostle Paul's desire to know the fellowship of Christ's sufferings, highlighting that Jesus himself endured the full spectrum of human and demonic evil—such as betrayal, injustice, racism, and corrupt institutions—during his crucifixion.
