This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1 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.
Ver. 1. One of the seals] That is, the first of the seals, as Gen_1:4; Mar_16:2. Under these seven seals falls Rome pagan (saith Mr Cotton), as under the seven trumpets Rome Christian, under the seven vials Rome antichristian. So all the judgments in the Revelation are still upon Rome. Hence Mr Dent calls his exposition upon the Revelation, The Ruin of Rome.
The noise of thunder] This beast was like a lion, Rev_4:7, whose roaring is as thunder.
