Sabbath Service: Judgement Begins

Revelation 6 initiates the beginning of divine judgment upon the earth. In this chapter, the Lamb – Yeshua the Messiah, who alone was found worthy to open the sealed scroll – begins breaking the seven seals introduced in Revelation Chapters 4–5. The opening of these seals releases a progressive series of judgments that affect the entire world politically, militarily, economically, physically, and spiritually. The chapter reveals that the judgment of the world proceeds under heavenly authority from the throne of YeHoVaH through the Lamb.

This chapter is the unveiling of the consequences of rebellion against YeHoVaH and the beginning of the “great day of His wrath.” It exposes the fragility of human civilization, the temporary nature of earthly power, and the certainty that all mankind must ultimately answer to the Creator. Revelation 6 moves from conquest to war, from famine to death, showing that judgment unfolds in stages and intensifies as the seals are opened. The chapter also reveals a contrast between two groups: those who dwell upon the earth and resist YeHoVaH, and those who remain faithful to Him even unto death.
