christianvideosanddiscussions.blogspot.co.uk/ In this video New Testament theology Professor Ranko Stefanovic leads a study on the seven seals found in the the book of Revelation. The opening of the seals does not reveal the contents of the scroll itself; rather, they are the consequences of Christ breaking the seals. The scroll is not open and its contents are not disclosed until all the seven seals are broken. The opening of the scroll is heralded by a mighty angel in Revelation 10:1-10 and is associated with the finishing of the preaching of the gospel in the world. Before the seventh seal is opened in Revelation 8:1, there is a message of encouragement giving an answer to the question "Who can stand?" It presents a scene of people who will come triumphantly through a testing time ahead. Notice how they have come out of the great tribulation (see Revelation 7:14); they have not avoided it. God has not taken them away from it; rather, they have been able to stand faithfully for Christ. God has protected them because they have His seal in their foreheads (see Revelation 7:3, 4 and 9:4) .youtu.be/9edOXR0xPTc
