What are the Seven Seals of Revelation

In this "Revelation" devotional, Senior Pastor Mike Woodruff unpacks one of the most dramatic and often misunderstood sections of the book: the seven seals described in Revelation chapters 6-8.

Beginning with the powerful scene of the sealed scroll in God’s hand, Pastor Mike walks through the significance of each seal—from the four horsemen symbolizing conquest, war, famine, and death, to the cries of the martyrs, cosmic upheaval, and the solemn silence of the seventh seal. While the imagery is intense and can feel unsettling, he emphasizes that this unfolding judgment is under the complete authority of the slain Lamb, Jesus Christ. The seals are not a puzzle to solve out of fear, but a revelation of God’s sovereign plan moving history toward final restoration and victory.

This message is a call to find hope and assurance in the One who holds the scroll, reminding us to live with perseverance and faith, trusting that God is in control even when the world seems undone.
