The wrath of God began earlier, when the Lamb arose from His seat to open the first seal. Now it is recognized for what it is. “It should be noted that the passage does not say that the wrath of God begins only with the sixth seal, but that only with the sixth seal do unbelievers recognize that it is the wrath of God.”2 Those on the earth are ignorant of the Scriptures. Yet even they recognize that the time of God’s wrath has now come upon the earth (Rev. Rev. 11:18+; Rev. 14:9-10+, Rev. 14:19+; Rev. 15:1+, Rev. 15:7+; Rev. 16:1+, Rev. 16:19+). See commentary on Revelation 5:6.
