The sixth seal of the apocalypse marks the beginning of the time of God’s full-blown wrath. The souls of the martyrs wish it will be earlier but it might be just over twenty years away. The haters, in the meantime, will carry on harming believers and many unbelievers will be caught in the crossfire. Oh that God would rend the heavens and come down, … send forth lightning and scatter the enemies, but God will seem far off, “Why forsake us?!” He will let the enemies triumph. He will let the believers keep having to wrestle with their thoughts. It is going to be a nasty couple of decades for many believers, and a waiting time for the souls of the martyrs. God is patient, not wanting any to perish. But when the number of martyrs reaches its limit, the wrath will start in avenging them, and that sixth seal will be the beginning of the worst wrath in history. O that it were sooner.
