Read Through the Bible in a Year 2018 Day 359: The First Seals

Good morning, everyone!

Today I read Revelation 4-8.

In today's reading, John has a vision of God on His throne, with heavenly creatures continually crying "Holy, holy, holy!"

And a vision of Jesus, appearing as a Lamb who was slain, and the same heavenly creatures crying "Worthy, worthy, worthy!"

Then, John has a vision of the seals that will be released to allow war, famine, pestilence, and death on the earth.

Then, he sees a vision of 144,000 of the tribes of Israel - sealed for God.

There is a lot of imagery in the book of Revelation, and I still don't understand all of it, but I feel like I understand more than I did last time.

I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Revelation 9-12.
