The 7 Seals of the Book of Apocalypse represent the last period and the last 7 years before consummation, the reign of Antichrist, the last and intensive phase of Satan world control, and unleashing of evil, and a union of political and financial and religious systems, until Divine Judgment is poured out, and each Seal represents beginning of events some extending to the end, corresponding with Our Lord Jesus Words in St Mathew chapter 24, and Prophet Daniel and all the Prophets. The Great Tribulation, the last 3 1/2 years, is so severe as described by the prophets and Our Lord "For shall be then great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be. And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved, but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened".

The Heavenly Court in session around the Throne of Almighty God, along with the Angels, and the Saints of all ages; and from the throne proceeds lightnings and voices and thunders: announcements, promises of adoption, and judgments. The Lamb who was slain, the Lord Jesus Christ, opens up each Seal. The First 5 Seals mainly describe destructions and catastrophes and natural disasters and chaos and wars caused by Satan and Antichrist and his Allies. "Satan desires to destroy not only human life, but also nature and the planet on which you live. Therefore, dear children, pray that through prayer you can protect yourselves with God's blessing of peace" (Our Lady of Medjugorje). The last 2 Seals mainly describe Divine Judgments; cataclysmic cleansing and renewal of heaven and earth; the heavens are dissolved with heat and the earth renewed by fire. "The day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great noise, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conduct and piety?". (St Peter - 2Peter 3:10-11)

And in the days of these kings [Antichrist and his Allies] shall the God of heaven set up a Kingdom, which shall never be destroyed, and the Kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever... Then the kingdom, and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms, under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the Saints of the Most High. His Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and all dominions shall serve Him and obey Him".  (Prophet Daniel 2:44; 7:27)

The Blessed Virgin Mary who has prepared her children in Medjugorje, will protect them during this time, and lead them and present them to God in the appointed time. "And when the dragon [Devil] saw that he was cast unto the earth, he pursued the woman, who brought forth the man child [Jesus], and there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time from the face of the serpent [the Virgin Mary protecting her children during the great tribulation of 3 1/2 years]... And the dragon was angry against the woman and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ [persecution of the rest of the children of Mary, the remaining Church, and new converts, and who have the testimony of Jesus Christ, as also revealed in the 3rd Secret of Fatima and in the 5th Seal]" (St John - Apocalypse12). "Because you have kept my word of perseverance, I will also keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth". (Our Lord Jesus - Apocalypse3:10).

1st Seal

And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals... And I saw, and behold a white horse, and he who sat on him had a bow, and there was a crown given him, and he went forth conquering that he might conquer. [Antichrist takes full control to carry on the final plan - a bow without arrows means false and deceptive peace and security and prosperity plan and promises, false peace settlements, and conquering by Satan power]

2nd Seal
And when he had opened the second seal... And there went out another horse that was red, and to him that sat thereon, it was given that he should take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another, and a great sword was given to him. [Antichrist Aggression and World and Middle East Conquest and Reshaping, and raising people against each other - escalating conflicts and tensions and wars and chaos]

3rd Seal
And when he had opened the third seal... And behold a black horse, and he who sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying: a measure of wheat for a denarius, and three measures of barley for a denarius, and see you hurt not the wine and the oil. [escalating economic and financial crisis and instability and high prices mostly affecting food and necessities, luxury and luxurious items not affected, and the people of God preserved]

4th Seal
And when he had opened the fourth seal... And behold a pale horse, and he who sat upon him, his name was Death, and hell followed him. And power was given to him over the fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with famine, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. [Antichrist Dictatorship - intensive wars, famines, catastrophes, pestilences, and death]

5th Seal
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given to every one of them one; and it was said to them, that they should rest for a little time, till their fellow servants, and their brethren, who are to be slain, even as they, should be fulfilled. [Church and New Converts persecution - Martyrdom of many - Our Lady of Fatima shows the martyrdom of many faithful including the Pope]

6th Seal
And I saw, when he had opened the sixth seal, and behold there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood; And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, as the fig tree casts its green figs when it is shaken by a great wind; And the heaven departed as a book folded up, and every mountain, and the islands were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and tribunes, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of mountains; And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him that sits upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb; For the great day of their wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand? [Cataclysmic dissolve and cleansing of the heavens and the casting out of the wicked hosts - severe natural and ecological disasters - also in this Seal there was stations describing the protection of many Servants of God redeemed from Israel, and part of the Saints are in Heaven "who have come out of the great tribulation and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb", the remaining Church will go through persecution and some through martyrdom as through Purgatory purification - St Victorinus, in his "Commentary on the Apocalypse", commented that in this Seal the brightness of doctrine is obscured, the Church of the Saints pouring out more blood for Christ, then the Church is taking away before last short and intensive Just Divine Judgment is poured out. Catechism # 677: "The Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover". Jesus will take his Bride, before his Second Coming, at the close of the period of persecution.]

7th Seal
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven, as it were for half an hour [Heaven allows Antichrist and his Allies and world revolt to enjoy victories for a short time]. And I saw seven angels standing in the presence of God; and there were given to them seven trumpets... And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden cups... [the 7 trumpets and 7 cups from Chap. 8 - 18 describe the last severe events and Just Devine Judgments, wars, famine, pestilences, death, natural disasters, nuclear devastations, stars falling from heaven and fire and brimstone and large hail, the collapse of the kingdoms of the earth, ending up with Armageddon, cataclysmic cleansing of the earth by fire, and the second advent of Jesus Christ, making an end of transgression and sin and bringing in everlasting peace and justice and righteousness - World population reduced to fraction - the Resurrection and Gathering of all Saints at the 7th and Last Trumpet - Chap 16 describes the 7 Cups the final and quick and destructive Judgments - Chap.17 describes the destruction of the Catholic Church, by Antichrist and his allies, after it was controlled by him in union with falling away and scandalous and political and wordly Ecclesiastics and Catholics - Chap.18 describes the destruction of Antichrist Superpower Nation or behind him: the great, the rich, the arrogant, the sinful, the corrupt, and all nations have drunk of the wine of her immorality. Chapter 19 and on describes the Second Advent, the Judgment, the Messiah Everlasting Kingdom, the Kingdom of God, the Messianic Kingdom, end of transgression, sin, inequity and everlasting righteousness, justice, peace, and afterward New Heaven, New Earth, Heavenly Jerusalem.  And the Saints of the Most High shall possess the Kingdom and reign with Him for ever and ever.]
