The centre point of the vision

Revelation 6:1–17 (ESV)

1 Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!”

The fifth seal forms the centre point of this vision, with God’s words to the souls under the altar in verse Revelation 6:11a forming the heart of the fifth seal.
