Hey Darrin, Thanks for your comments! It would take too much space here to explain my (so-called) reasoning about the First Seal. However, if you are...

Darrin -- Thanks much for the info/input!! From what I can figure by going through all the verb tenses given in the Seals, the first five Seals are active. ...
... Touche! I'm still trying to figure out B.W. Newton's position on the first seal in the plethora of material I have. He equates Psalm 45 with the opening...
Newton makes a HUGE stretch to see Seal #1 in the 45th psalm. The Psalm is certainly Messianic, but it is very unlikely that seal#1 is referring to the...
