| Summary: | In dialogue with the remarkable publication I settenari nella struttura dell’Apocalisse. Analisi, storia della ricerca, interpretazione by Giancarlo Biguzzi (1996), the "story-line" of Rev 6,1 – 8,6 is investigated here. The seals in chapter six are more than verbal prophecy; as the actual beginning of punishment they announce still greater catastrophes. The two scenes of chapter seven do not belong to the sixth seal; they interrupt the narrative and are "intercalations". The data described in 8,2-6 most probably occur during the silence mentioned in 8,1b. It would seem that the seventh seal (8,1) "encompasses" the subsequent seven trumpets. |
