There are two ways to interpret the book of Revelation. One is symbolic and the other is literal. I try to interpret scripture as literal as I can unless God shows me otherwise. Symbolic interpretation gives the interpreter too much credence in fantasy as he attempts to sell others a bill of goods (by fraud and deception). The symbolic interpreter hopes to persuade others his false vision that he conjures up in his own feeble mind. The literal interpreter must accurately show you scripture to back up any claims that he makes concerning the word of God.
If the interpretation is not back by scripture, then throw it out. A famous teacher of the Bible taught this about the 6 and 7th seal:
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘪𝘹𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘭
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘹𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘭 (𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 6:12-7:17) 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘢𝘮𝘣, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘑𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘒𝘦𝘺𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘭, 𝘑𝘰𝘦𝘭 2; 𝘐𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘢𝘩 13; 𝘏𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘬𝘬𝘶𝘬. 3; 𝘌𝘤𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘴 12 &𝘢𝘮𝘱; 𝘗𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘮 139 (𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘸 24:29-31). 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘬𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘩 (𝘮𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘌𝘻𝘦𝘬𝘪𝘦𝘭 1).
There is no mention of the Lamb coming back in Revelation 6. Nevertheless, the author continues teaching strange things as concerning the earthquake in revelation 6: It's weird but a flying throne blocks the sun and eclipses it. The sage goes on teaching about the seventh seal:
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘭
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘭 (𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 8:1) 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 "𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨" 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 144,000 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 (𝘙𝘷. 14:3) 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘮 40 (𝘗𝘴. 40:3) 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘴 (𝘋𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘺 32) 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯. 𝘒𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘴𝘰𝘯 (𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘓𝘰𝘪𝘴 𝘙𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘯'𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺) 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵, 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘭, 𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 144,000.
The interpreter teaches that the seventh seal cannot be fully understood until Christ's return. He goes on to state that everyone who receives the first seal will be part of the 144,000. He symbolizes the number 144,000 as to include any number that he chooses as long as we accept the first seal.
The 1st Seal is really strange: The Marriage of the Lamb. The first seal, the marriage of the Lamb, reveals that those who believe that David Koresh is the Christ and accept the Seven Seals will obtain unity with the Godhead.
That's right, it was David Koresh who taught such things. Maybe you could understand the seals better if you were locked into a hot room and had it preached to you hundreds of times.
Many today would buy David Koresh's book in his symbolic approach to scripture. Too bad for them he died with his Davidians at Waco Texas.
