Revelation 6:1 Revelation 6:1 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 beast, saying, come, and see. The Lord Jesus Christ having prevailed to open this sealed book of the Revelation, which God gave him, and he took it out of his right hand. Now John saw him open one of the seals; that is, the first in order of the seven seals of this book; It is a Hebraism, the Jews used so to express; and call the first of times, things or persons, as Genesis 1:5 one day, that is, the first day. It is also a Helenism; the Greeks used to express and call the first of Sabbaths, \ prwi thv miav sabbatwn, early upon one of the Sabbaths, that is, upon the first Sabbath \ For that first day of the week was the first Christian Sabbath, called the Lord’ s Day. See the exposition upon Revelation 1:10. SEE KNOLLYS: Revelation 1:10 So here, by one of the seals is meant the first of the seven seals. Likewise, by one of the four living creatures, is meant the first of them, and so the second, third, and fourth. \ And I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four living Creatures, saying, Come, and see This invitation was given by the first of the four living creatures unto John, whose voice is like the noise of thunder, as when a lion roareth. The voice of God revealing his secret judgements by his prophets and ministers, is compared unto a roaring of a lion. \ The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesize? Come and See, that is, Come hither near to the Lamb, and look into this first vision, now opened by the Lamb, our Lord Jesus Christ, as Mediator: Now those that are unlearned, even babes in Christ, God’ s little children may see, and read, and understand, so much as Christ will reveal the mysteries thereof unto them. \
