John, in approximately half a chapter, has gone over 5 of the 7 seals. I believe that he was brief on these since they were mostly history or current events. As John continues in the book of Revelation, He covers the 6th seal in a little more depth by dedicating the remaining verses in chapter 6 and all of chapter 7 to it. He then begins covering the events of the 7th seal in chapter 8. This continues through chapter 11. Chapters 12-22 cover various topic and take us to the end of the millennial era and the end of the temporal existence of the earth.
It is my belief that the 6th seal began around 1034 and will end around 2033. The reason I believe this is because it was prophesied that Jesus would come to earth for his first coming in the meridian of time. Not only was it prophesied that he would come but that he would also die in the meridian of time.
Moses 6:57,62
57 Wherefore teach it unto your children, that all men, everywhere, must repent, or they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God, for no unclean thing can dwell there, or dwell in his presence; for, in the language of Adam, Man of Holiness is his name, and the name of his Only Begotten is the Son of Man, even Jesus Christ, a righteous Judge, who shall come in the meridian of time.
62 And now, behold, I say unto you: This is the plan of salvation unto all men, through the blood of mine Only Begotten, who shall come in the meridian of time.
Moses 5:57
57 For they would not hearken unto his voice, nor believe on his Only Begotten Son, even him whom he declared should come in the meridian of time, who was prepared from before the foundation of the world.
Moses 7:45-47
45 And it came to pass that Enoch looked; and from Noah, he beheld all the families of the earth; and he cried unto the Lord, saying: When shall the day of the Lord come? When shall the blood of the Righteous be shed, that all they that mourn may be sanctified and have eternal life?
46 And the Lord said: It shall be in the meridian of time, in the days of wickedness and vengeance.
47 And behold, Enoch saw the day of the coming of the Son of Man, even in the flesh; and his soul rejoiced, saying: The Righteous is lifted up, and the Lamb is slain from the foundation of the world; and through faith I am in the bosom of the Father, and behold, Zion is with me.
I believe that the Meridian of Time is the middle time of our temporal existence. In other words, it is during the 4th seal or 4 thousand year period after the fall of Adam. I believe that Christ came toward the end of the 4th seal and closed out the 4th seal on a Jubilee year. Thus I believe the 5th seal opened just after the year of Christ's atonement and resurrection from the dead. I believe that Christ died in the year 33 A.D. Therefore the 5th seal would be from 34 A.D. to 1033 A.D. The 6th seal would be from 1034 A.D. to 2033 A.D. And the 7th seal would be from 2034 A.D. to 3033 A.D. If I am right, we only have 15 more years left in the 6th seal. These are my personal beliefs that I have come to from my personal study of scripture.
When each seal begins and ends is a mystery. If we could know the timing of the seals, we would have a better view of how close we are to the Lord's second coming. What you have read above is my best guess based on scripture. I believe the book that John saw that was sealed with seven seals represents the seven thousand years of this earth's temporal existence. I believe Jesus died in the year 33 A.D. I believe Jesus whole life on earth was spent in the meridian of time. I believe the meridian of time to be the time of the 4th seal. I believe the 4th seal ended at the end of the year 33 A.D. I believe the martyrs of Jesus mentioned in the 6th chapter of Revelation verses 9-11 were his apostles (excepting John) and those who were members of his church who were persecuted by Rome and others. I believe that John the Apostle has not yet died. But he is still on this earth until Jesus comes is all his glory:
Mark 9:1
1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
