The four living Creatures, each with six wings apiece, are full of eyes all over their bodies and under their wings, and day and night they never cease the chant, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God almighty, who was and is and is coming."

Seals » The seven seals
And when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, I looked, and I heard one of the four living Creatures calling like thunder, "Come." So I looked, and there was a white horse, its rider holding a bow; he was given a crown, and away he rode conquering and to conquer. And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living Creature calling, "Come." read more.
And away went another red horse; its rider was allowed to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other; he was given a huge sword. And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living Creature calling, "Come." So I looked and there was a black horse; its rider held a pair of scales in his hand, and I heard like a voice in the midst of the four living Creatures saying, "A shilling for a quart of wheat, a shilling for three quarts of barley; but harm not oil and wine!" And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living Creature calling, "Come." So I looked, and there was a livid horse; its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. They were given power over the fourth part of the earth, to kill men with sword and famine and plague and by the wild beasts of the earth. And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain for adhering to God's word and to the testimony which they bore; and they cried aloud, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long wilt thou refrain from charging and avenging our blood upon those who dwell on earth?" But they were each given a white robe, and told to remain quiet for a little longer, until their number was completed by their fellow-servants and their brothers who were to be killed like themselves. And when he opened the sixth seal, I looked; and a great earthquake took place, the sun turned black as sackcloth, the full moon turned like blood, the stars of the sky dropped to earth as a fig tree shaken by a gale sheds her unripe figs, the sky was swept aside like a scroll being folded up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. Then the kings of the earth, the magnates, the generals, the rich, the strong, slaves and freemen everyone of them, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall upon us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne and from the anger of the Lamb; for the great Day of their anger has come, and who can stand it?"

And when he opened the seventh seal, silence reigned in heaven for about half-an-hour. Then I saw seven trumpets being given to the seven angels who stand before God. And another angel went and stood at the altar with a golden censer; he was given abundant incense, to be laid with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar in front of the throne; read more.
and the smoke of the incense with the prayers of all the saints rose up from the angel's hand before God. And the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and poured it on the earth; then followed peals of thunder, loud blasts, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. And the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow their blasts. The first blew, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, falling on the earth; a third of the earth was burnt up, a third of the trees were burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up. The second angel blew, and what looked like a huge mountain on fire was hurled into the sea; a third of the sea turned blood, a third of the creatures in the sea ??the living creatures ??perished, and a third of the ships were destroyed. The third angel blew, and a huge star blazing like a torch dropped out of the sky, dropped on a third of the rivers and on the fountains (the name of the star is Wormwood); a third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died of the waters, because they had turned bitter. The fourth angel blew; and a stroke fell on a third of the sun, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so as to darken one third of them, withdrawing light from a third of the day and likewise of the night. Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven with a loud cry, "Woe, woe, woe to the dwellers on earth, for the rest of the trumpet-blasts that the three angels are about to blow!"

The fifth angel blew, and I saw a Star which had dropped from heaven to earth; he was given the key of the pit of the abyss, and he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke poured out of the pit, like the smoke of a huge furnace, till the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. And out of the smoke came locusts on the earth; they were granted power like the power wielded by scorpions on earth, read more.
but they were told not to harm the grass on earth nor any green thing nor any tree, only such human beings as had not the seal of God upon their foreheads; these they were allowed, not to kill but to torture, for five months ??and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion when it stings a man. In those days men will seek death, but they will not find it: they will long to die, but death flies from them. The appearance of the locusts resembled horses armed for battle; on their heads were sort of crowns like gold; their faces were like human faces, their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' fangs; they had scales like iron coats of mail; the whirring of their wings was like the noise of many chariots rushing to battle; their tails and their stings were like scorpions', and their power of hurting men for five months lay in their tails; they had a king over them, the angel of the abyss ??his Hebrew name is Abaddon, but in Greek he is called Apollyon. The first woe has passed: two woes are still to come. Then the sixth angel blew; and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, telling the sixth angel with the trumpet, "Let loose the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." So the four angels were unloosed, who had been kept ready for that hour and day and month and year, to kill the third of men. And the number of the troops of their cavalry was two hundred millions (I heard what was their number). And this is how the horses and their riders looked in my vision: they wore coats of mail red as fire, dark-blue as jacinth and yellow as smoke; the horses' heads were like lions' heads, and from their mouths poured fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three plagues the third of men were killed, by the fire, the smoke, and the brimstone, that poured out of their mouths; for the power of the horses lies in their mouths ??and also in their tails (their tails are like serpents, they have heads, and it is with their heads that they hurt). But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands and give up worshipping daemons and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which cannot either see or hear or stir; nor did they repent of their murders or of their magic spells or of their sexual vice or of their thefts.

Then I saw another strong angel descend from heaven; he was clad in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, his face like the sun, his feet like columns of fire, and a small scroll open in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea, his left upon the earth, and shouted aloud like a lion roaring; and at his shout the seven thunders gave voice. read more.
After the seven thunders had spoken, I was going to write it down; but I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said, do not write it." Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and the earth raised his right hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, "There shall be no more delay; in the days of the seventh angel's voice, when he now blows his blast, then shall the secret purpose of God be fulfilled, as he assured his servants the prophets."

the nations were enraged, but thine anger has come; the time has come for the dead to be judged, the time for rewarding thy servants the prophets, and the saints who reverence thy name, both low and high, the time for destroying the destroyers of the earth." Then the temple of God in heaven was thrown open, and the ark of his covenant was seen inside his temple; there were flashes of lightning, loud blasts, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a hailstorm.
