Verse 3
When the Lamb broke the second seal on the scroll, John heard the second living creature order the second horseman forward.
Beale believed the disasters represented by the opening of each seal are simultaneous throughout the church age, not sequential occurrences, for either the purification of believers or for the punishment of believers’ persecutors. [Note: Beale, pp. 370-72.] They began, he believed, after Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension, and they will end at His second coming. Conquest, both literal and spiritual, has led and will lead to civil unrest, which has led and will lead to famine, which has led and will lead to death.
