After This, I Saw

A BRIEF INTERMISSION – After this. (Revelation 7:1a)

After the sixth seal, and before discussing the opening of the seventh seal (Revelation 8:1), John pauses to relate two other visions in Revelation 7. These two visions are the sealing of the servants of God (Revelation 7:1–8),(1) and the great multitude before the throne (Revelation 7:9–17). “After this” may mean that this vision follows the vision of the sixth seal, not necessarily that the events described in this vision follow the sixth seal.(2)

Why the pause?

I was raised in a Christian family and my earliest childhood memories include regular Sunday school and Church attendance as a family. I was taught that our Judeo-Christian values were not just a part of our Sunday routine they should be part of our character and influence all aspects of our lives. I was also taught that as important as these values were they could not save us. We must also be “born again” by accepting Christ. View all posts by thebrewisamusing
