ヨハネの黙示録 6:1-2 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 6:1-17

The opening of the seals. The Book of Revelation may be said to consist—with the exception of Revelation 2:1-29 and Revelation 3:1-22 —of a vast picture gallery. And this not so much because of the number of the pictures, as their sublimity and extent. Revelation 1:1-20 . is the portraiture of "the Son of man." Then there is a vast canvas, stretching from Revelation 4:1-11 to 11, and representing the judgment and fall of Jerusalem. Then from Revelation 12:1-17 to 19 another... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 6:1-17

The seven seals; or, the development of good and evil in human history. "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see," etc. In this chapter we have the breaking open of six of the seals of that mystic roll containing the Divine plan of the government of the world, and as held in the bands of Christ who is the great Expounder. The opening of these seals suggests to our notice and presses on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 6:2

And I saw. The usual introduction to a new vision, or a special feature of a vision (see on Revelation 4:1 ). And behold a white horse. The whole vision appears to be founded on that of Zechariah 1:8-12 . White is always typical in the Revelation of heavenly things (of. Revelation 1:14 , "His hairs were white;" Revelation 2:17 , "a white stone;" Revelation 3:4 , Revelation 3:5 , Revelation 3:18 ; Revelation 4:4 ; Revelation 6:11 , and Revelation 7:9 , Revelation 7:13... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 6:1

And I saw - Or, I looked. He fixed his eye attentively on what was passing, as promising important disclosures. No one had been found in the universe who could open the seals but the Lamb of God Revelation 5:2-4; and it was natural for John, therefore, to look upon the transaction with profound interest.When the Lamb opened one of the seals - See the notes on Revelation 5:1, Revelation 5:5. This was the first or outermost of the seals, and its being broken would permit a certain portion of the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 6:2

And I saw, and behold - A question has arisen as to the mode of representation here: whether what John saw in these visions was a series of pictures, drawn on successive portions of the volume as one seal was broken after another; or whether the description of the horses and of the events was written on the volume, so that John read it himself, or heard it read by another; or whether the opening of the seal was merely the occasion of a scenic representation, in which a succession of horses was... read more

Revelation 6:1-2. And Being all attention to this wonderful scene; I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals Of the book which he had taken from the hand of him that sat on the throne; and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder Signifying the great importance of the event about to be disclosed; one of the four living creatures That is, it seems, the first, which was like a lion, looking forward toward the east, toward Asia and Syria, where the prophecy had its principal... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 6:1-17

6:1-8:5 THE SEVEN SEALSMuch of the next part of the book records three series of judgment visions that John saw - the seven seals (6:1-8:5), the seven trumpets (8:6-11:19) and the seven bowls of wrath (15:1-16:21). John also saw another series of visions, the seven thunders, but God did not allow him to record them (10:3-4). This is a reminder that God has not given us all the information about what he is doing, and will yet do, as he brings his purposes in the world to fulfilment.In the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 6:1

REV:6To this point, Revelation has been relatively easy to interpret; but, beginning with this chapter, there are scores of interpretations, with multiple schools of interpreters, following all kinds of bizarre and fanciful "explanations" of what is here written. (See introduction for a discussion of some of the more important methods followed by various groups.) In a sense, one must be accounted rather bold to write confidently of things about which there is so much disagreement; but, on the... read more
