Lesson 3: The Vision of the Throne and the First Six Seals (Revelation 4-6)
The Book of Revelation can be divided into three divisions:
- Revelation 1 (“the things which you have seen”)
- Revelation 2-3 (“the things which are”)
- Revelation 4-22 (“the things which shall be hereafter”)
With this lesson, Pastor Benny Hinn introduces the largest section, beginning with Chapter 4, the vision of God’s throne and its surroundings. Discover what happens immediately after the Rapture of the church. The throne in Heaven suddenly occupies John’s attention.
Then he describes the brilliant stones, the rainbow about the stone, the 24 elders clothed in white raiment with gold crowns, the seven lamps of fire, the sea glass “like unto crystal” before the throne, and four beasts that were like a lion, calf, with the face of a man, and flying eagle. Chapter 5 outlines the book sealed with seven seals. Chapter 6 outlines the opening of the first six seals: the Conqueror upon the white horse, war, famine, death, martyrs, and catastrophes.
