Terrifying visions of the Apocalypse revealed the fears of medieval Spain - Gallery I

Revelation 6 recounts what is revealed when the Lamb opens the first four seals: “I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest . . . Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword . . . And there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand . . . When the Lamb opened the fourth seal . . . there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was Death, and Hades was following close behind him.”

Revelation 5: The Lamb, symbolizing the sacrificed Christ, is worthy of opening the seven seals from God. The angels sing: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”

Revelation 5: “Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals.” In this section of the Silos Apocalypse, God sits enthroned surrounded by 24 elders.
