Episode notes
This podcast provides an overview of the blood (both literal and symbolic) associated with the plagues of the seventh seal in the Book of Revelation beginning with chapter 8. There are symbolic images of blood, such as a red moon that appears to be as blood, but also literal scenes of blood that describe the destruction of the wicked at the Second Coming. The scenes of bloodshed are often dualistic in their meaning. On the one hand, they represent the judgments of a just God, but also the blood of Christ's atoning sacrifice gives life to those that repent thus depicting the mercy of his offering. This podcast provides an overview of the blood-filled scenes of the seventh seal to serve as a foundation for understanding the specific images of blood described by John the Revelator.
