REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Sixteen - Four Horsemen at the Gallop!

 IN THIS  day of crisis, are we not intensely interested in "the things that must shorty take place"?   Surely  we are, for we ourselves are involved!  So let us now accompany John as Jesus proceeds  to open that intriguing scroll. Remarkably, John does not have to read it. Why not? Because its contents are conveyed to him "in signs" by a series of dynamic, action packed scenes. - REVELATIONS 1:1, 10. 

Listen to John as Jesus opens the first seal of the scroll: "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice as of thunder: 'Come!' " (Revelation 6:1) This is the voice of the first cherub, its lionlike appearance would suggest to John that Jehovah's organization will act with courage in executing His righteous judgments .  And to whom is that command addressed? It could not be to John, for John has already bee invited to share in these prophetic scenes.  (Revelation 4:1)  That "voice of thunder" is calling forth other participants in the first of a series of four rousing episodes.
