| PentecostalTheology.comDo the seven seals of the book of Revelation have an origin in the siege of Jericho?
This siege framework imagery can then be expounded upon, as with the seven seals, independently with the siege representing the day of the wrath. The day of wrath is the sacrifice of being made to be sin. It originates in Adam with the sword or Noah treading the wine press. Both start out in a barren land and both are found naked.
The simplified version:
- The first six marches/ The first six seals
- Seven marches on the seventh day/ Seven angels given seven trumpets
- The walls/ The scroll
- The people on both sides of the wall/ The writing on both sides of the scroll
- The seven priests / The seven angels
- The horns/ The trumpets
- The people are to be quiet/ Silence in heaven
- The people shout/ Loud voices in heaven
Relating the siege to the treading of the winepress of wrath; "Faithful and True." He judges and wages war in righteousness. (Rev 19:11 NABO) The basic concept, to put it succinctly, and, literally: I (Resurrection) was Hitler (Sacrifice).

I would suppose instead the seven trumpets!

IMO the “seven seals” (Revelation 5:1) are dabs of wax fastening the rolled up “scroll” along its length (Revelation 5:1).
A judgment from God occurs as each dab of wax is removed
