What is the purpose of the 7 scrolls with the 7 seals in Revelation?

Question

Why do they contain so much whoop-a**?

Couldn't God find a more peaceful way to cleanse the earth. Couldn't everyone just die in their sleep or something like the Babies in Egypt?

If the Bible had been written in the 1990s would the 7 angels be holding 7 cans of whoop-a**?

Answer 1

lol, maybe it would be easyer to understand

Answer 2

Their purpose is one last ditch effort to show the world God's increasing anger towards an "untoward", sinful, unrepentant generation. After each one, man is still given a small space in which to repent, but by and large, he doesn't, so on to the next scroll/vial/trumpet!

Answer 3

There are many interpretations,

the one bible i have teaches its time periods, like the before the temple fell 70ad, then to the fall of roman empire, then dark ages, then prodestant reformation, then the time of fundamentalists, then modern times before return of christ,

another from a woman on my train, is its types of churches, like the literal interpretation chuch, the liberal church, etc.

ultimately i read it and find it disturbing, and believe it to be a battle plan against rome

Answer 4

Man had to make it sound scary. Howelse would they scare the gullable into believing in a fantasy God that kills babies is a God of love?

Answer 5

No He couldn't because of narrow minded and hard hearted people like you.
You have to be forced resoundingly.
And in a Big way,
You also seem to be stuck on this babies in Egypt thing, obsessed with it I see. umm interesting, they have couseling for that.

Answer 6
