The Four Horsemen Are Only the Beginning | The Seven Seals

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are only the beginning of the Seven Seals in the Book of Revelation. What happens after the pale horse—and why does the seventh seal bring silence to heaven? This cinematic Bible documentary follows John's vision from the Lamb and the sealed scroll to the white, red, black and pale horses. Explore the riders associated with conquest, war, famine and death, including the black rider's scales and the price of a day's food. Beyond the Four Horsemen, the story turns to the martyrs beneath the altar, the earthquake and darkened sky of the sixth seal, and a crowd too large to count. The seventh seal opens onto a silence that prepares the way for the trumpets. What unsettles you most: the riders, the sixth seal, or the silence in heaven? Share your thoughts in the comments.
