The First Seal: Rider on White Horse3. The Second Seal: War 5. The Third Seal: Famine 7. The Fourth Seal: Death 9. The Fifth Seal: Martyrs 12. The Sixth Seal: Terror And when the Lamb opened the fourth seal The "Lamb" refers to Jesus Christ, depicted as the sacrificial Lamb who is worthy to open the seals of the scroll, a symbol of divine authority and revelation. The imagery of the Lamb is deeply rooted in the sacrificial system of the Old Testament, particularly the Passover lamb, which prefigures Christ's atoning sacrifice. The "fourth seal" is part of a series of judgments that unfold in the book of Revelation, each seal revealing a new aspect of God's plan for the end times. The opening of the seals signifies the unveiling of divine mysteries and the progression of God's redemptive history. I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, 'Come!' "In the midway of this our mortal life I found me in a gloomy wood, astray." The darkest periods of the Church's history were those we call the Middle Ages. By this, however, it is not meant that there is any chronological signification in the seal. The vision deepens in its central scene, like the horror of darkness in the dream of Abraham. The history of the Church has not unfrequently presented a sort of parallel. The age which follows the ages of barren dogmatism and of spiritual starvation is often an age of sham spiritual life. The pale horse of death is the parody of the white horse of victory: the form of godliness remains, the power is gone.
