stumpmaster, when you read that the time is near. When the Bible speaks of the time being near and that scripture was written in and around 96AD. Now the Bible takes about scoffers that will say it’s been so long and Christ hasn’t returned yet. These scooters haven’t understood. You see the scriptures tells us that Christ appeared in the end days. With the prophecy of the 70 weeks we are told that 69 of the 70 weeks would be completed with the destruction of Jerusalem. That left one week left. This is speaking of the time of the beast. The time span between the 69th week to the last week to begin is God’s grace being poured out to the gentiles. Once God declares time no longer ending this time span the last week begins. Time declared no longer in revelation 10. Then what happens the last week begins. God’s grace has lasted for a long time as we gage time. But with God it isn’t. What happens is people use human reasoning to explain scriptures rather than asking the Father for it. Some people read bits and pieces a draw a conclusion not see everything. This is where they fall short in understanding. I am so glad that God has hidden these things from the wise and has revealed them to the unwise and unlearned. Some teach you have to good to men for the understanding of God’s word and say only the educated can truly understand. That’s not what the Lord said. The Apostle wrote if you desire to know anything ask the Lord and he will reveal it. He went on to say that you don’t have to ask men for anything involving God’s word.

Yes, many are the blessings that come from reading, hearing, and keeping the things written in the Book of Revelation by the apostle John. The word "keep" is "tēreō" in the Greek which also means to note and watch for the fulfillment.
Chapters 1-5 in Revelations is pretty straight-forward, but chapter 6 starts to be fuzzy, so let's talk about chapter 6 in Revelations, and answer some questions. (for everybody)
Here is chapter 6:
Revelation 6 King James Version (KJV)
6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Questions:
1) What do the 6 seals represent in verses 1,3,5,7,9,12?
2) Are the colors of the horses significant?
3) When are the things in the 6th seal going to take place?
Here is chapter 6:
Revelation 6 King James Version (KJV)

God marks 144,000 people with His seal, and it won’t be a chip, a tattoo, a bar code, or anything tangible - and neither will the mark of the beast.
In the OT what you think is a sign or a mark in your forehead, and what you do is a sign or mark in your right hand.
The mark will be worshipping and bowing down to the beast or the image of the beast, which will be set up everywhere, so you can’t buy or sell without bowing down and worshipping it.
The mark of God on the 144,000 on their forehead is their worship of God, and the mark of the beast is worship and bowing down to the image of the beast.
Shalom.
