AMP Footnotes
When the seals are broken, the consummation of history, focused in the judgments, is unveiled.
The Lamb is Jesus Christ, who stands “between,” in other words both as one with God upon the throne and as one with humanity around the throne.
See note 1:4.
Lit has taken. This is the Greek perfect tense, which John sometimes uses to emphasize the lasting significance of an action or event.
