The Narrative Logic to the Seals of the Book of Revelation
The first four seals prove the wicked deserve God’s wrath, the fifth seal promises God’s wrath, the sixth seal portends God’s wrath, the two remnants are protected from God’s wrath, and the seventh seal pronounces God’s wrath.

Pretribulationism claims that the rapture occurs before Daniel’s seventieth week begins, i.e. the seven-year period, while the second coming occurs […]
