Gods wrath

Rev 6 8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. 

Chapter 5 of revelation opens up with a description of Gods throne room. God sits on the throne with His heavenly beings. The description of the throne and the response from His creation in this chapter are like a snap shot of all time as God responds to the destructive nations on the earth. These heavenly beings take up their positions to bring judgement to the earth. 

The reason that God cannot remain on His throne in silence is because He has created everything and views His creation as valuable as His Son. The Lamb of God was sacrificed in order to redeem Gods creation and His chosen people. The purchase price is the value of Christ life that is demanded from Christ enemies. The Revelation is a description of God redeeming His people and renewing the earth by demanding the payment from His enemies.  God demands eternal retribution to pay the price for the destruction of the earth and the suffering of the saints. God pours this judgment our by breaking the seals of judgement. 

These seals are Gods actual judgement for sin when what is owed is carried out to its fullest. But the seal is Gods absolute voice of the curse that prevents His saints from being destroyed. When we pronounce His curses that are from His word we experience a seal that prevents our souls from being destroyed. This is why the seal is opened in response to Johns cries. 

All of these cries of distress from the suffering saints are stored in heaven as a testimony for the final trial and pronouncement of judgement. When we cry out to God in curses we are acting as a witness to the suffering on the earth. 

These seals are opened up when a nation becomes abusive. The rider with the bow is Gods actions to over turn this national destruction. The red horse is a judgement of shortening life by violent war. The black horse is a judgement in response to destroying the value of the currency.  The pale horse is another judgement on creation. The 5th seal is a description of Gods saints who are suffering as a result of the national apostasy in whos prayer for retribution will be a witness for God to act to receive the full payment for the suffering of those He redeemed.
